Subject: [PATCH v4 1/9] dmaengine: Add API to combine configuration and preparation (sg and single)
Date: Wed, 06 May 2026 16:44:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506-dma_prep_config-v4-1-85b3d22babff@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260506-dma_prep_config-v4-0-85b3d22babff@nxp.com>
Previously, configuration and preparation required two separate calls. This
works well when configuration is done only once during initialization.
However, in cases where the burst length or source/destination address must
be adjusted for each transfer, calling two functions is verbose and
requires additional locking to ensure both steps complete atomically.
Add a new API dmaengine_prep_config_single() and dmaengine_prep_config_sg()
and callback device_prep_config_sg() that combines configuration and
preparation into a single operation. If the configuration argument is
passed as NULL, fall back to the existing implementation.
Tested-by: Niklas Cassel <cassel@kernel.org>

---
change in v4
- drop context in device_prep_config_sg()
change in v3
- remove Deprecated for callback device_prep_slave_sg().
- Move condition check before sg init.
- split function at return type.
- move safe version to next patch
change in v2
- add () for function
- use short name device_prep_sg(), remove "slave" and "config". the 'slave'
is reduntant. after remove slave, the function name is difference existed
one, so remove _config suffix.
