[PATCH 00/23] dmaengine: Smart Data Accelerator Interface (SDXI) basic support

[Nathan Lynch via B4 Relay <devnull+nathan.lynch.amd.com@kernel.org>]

The Smart Data Accelerator Interface (SDXI) is a vendor-neutral
architecture for memory-to-memory data movement offload designed for
kernel bypass and virtualization.

General information on SDXI may be found at:
https://www.snia.org/sdxi

This submission adds a driver with basic support for PCIe-hosted SDXI
1.0 implementations and includes a DMA engine provider with memcpy
capability. A more limited RFC version was posted in September 2025;
the code has seen multiple substantial updates since then, described
below.

Planned future SDXI work (out of scope for this series):

* Character device for exposing SDXI contexts to user space.

* Support for operation types to be added in future SDXI revisions.

* Greater configurability for control structures, e.g. descriptor ring
  size.

The latest released version of the SDXI specification is 1.0:

Draft versions of future SDXI specifications in development may be found at:

Changes in v1:
- Reorder series and introduce functionality incrementally while
  remaining buildable and functional at each step. (Jonathan Cameron)
- Use devres APIs where possible for device resources (JC)
- Use cleanup APIs to significantly reduce use of goto-oriented error
  unwinding. (JC)
- Drop SDXI_DEBUG config option. (JC)
- Cite SDXI spec version and section number consistently throughout. (JC)
- Combine local variable declarations of same type. (JC)
- Mark descriptor structs __packed. (JC)
- Use designated initializers in descriptor encoding functions. (JC)
- Prefer dev_err_probe() over sdxi_err() in sdxi_pci_init(). (JC)
- Prune unnecessary includes throughout source files. (JC)
- Remove unnecessary/unhelpful comments in several places. (JC)
- Remove SDXI spec material from "Add SNIA SDXI accelerator sub-class"
  commit message and reword the remainder. (Bjorn Helgaas)
- Remove unnecessary local for DMA_BIT_MASK() argument in
  sdxi_pci_init(). (BH)
- Use "{ }" for final null entry in id table, not "{ 0, }". (BH)
- Replace sample descriptor submission code from the SDXI spec with an
  improved API that has unit tests, eliminates a copy step for
  callers, and can block until ring space becomes available if
  desired.
- Omit the error log facility for now; it can be reintroduced later.
- Use a per-device xarray to allocate context IDs and map them to
  context objects.
- Implement interrupt-based completion signaling for memcpy operations
  in the DMA engine provider, DMA provider code mostly rewritten.

Non-changes in v1:
- Mario suggested that pci_clear_master() is needed in
  sdxi_pci_init()'s error path and in sdxi_pci_exit() (now
  sdxi_pci_remove()). However, sdxi uses pcim_enable_device(), which
  appears to ensure that master is cleared for the device. Happy to
  revisit this if I'm mistaken.
