This was on an 83xx, within the last few kernel releases. I haven't tried it on the latest -rc. Using device_prep_dma_memcpy() can trigger a callback as well, so the interrupt feature isn't strictly needed. Just attach the callback to the last memcpy operation. static dma_cookie_t dma_async_interrupt(struct dma_chan *chan, dma_async_tx_callback callback, void *data) { struct dma_device *dev = chan->device; struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx; /* Set up the DMA */ tx = dev->device_prep_dma_interrupt(chan, DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT); if (!tx) return -ENOMEM; tx->callback = callback; tx->callback_param = data; return tx->tx_submit(tx); } Ira
