Subject: [PATCH v3 09/10] dmaengine: dw-edma: Use burst array instead of linked list
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2026 17:21:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702-edma_ll-v3-9-877aa463740c@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702-edma_ll-v3-0-877aa463740c@nxp.com>
From: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com>
The current descriptor layout is:
struct dw_edma_desc *desc
└─ chunk list
└─ burst list
Creating a DMA descriptor requires at least three kzalloc() calls because
each burst is allocated as a linked-list node. Since the number of bursts
is already known when the descriptor is created, a linked list is not
necessary.
Allocate a burst array when creating each chunk to simplify the code and
eliminate one kzalloc() call.
