Subject: [PATCH RFC 09/12] dmaengine: ll-dma: support multi-descriptor memcpy for large transfers
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 13:05:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128-dma_ll_comlib-v1-9-1b1fa2c671f9@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260128-dma_ll_comlib-v1-0-1b1fa2c671f9@nxp.com>
Each DMA descriptor has a maximum transfer length limitation.
When a memcpy request exceeds this limit, split it into multiple
linked DMA descriptors to complete the transfer.
