[PATCH 00/11] i.MX SDMA cleanups and fixes

[PATCH 00/11] i.MX SDMA cleanups and fixes

[Marco Felsch]

Hi,

the current i.MX SDMA driver doesn't honor current active DMA users once
the i.MX SDMA driver is getting removed. Which can lead into very
situations e.g. hang the whole system.

This is fixed by cleaning up the driver and adding devlink support to
the SDMA driver.

This series also fixes the i.MX SDMA handling on i.MX8M* devices, which
do have multiple SPBA buses.

Regards,
  Marco

[PATCH 01/11] dmaengine: imx-sdma: drop legacy device_node np check

[Marco Felsch]

The legacy 'if (np)' was required in past where we had pdata and dt.
Nowadays the driver binds only to dt platforms. So using a new kernel
but still use pdata is not possible, therefore we can drop the legacy
'if' code path.

[PATCH 02/11] dmaengine: imx-sdma: sdma_remove minor cleanups

[Marco Felsch]

We don't need to set the pdev driver data to NULL since the device will
be freed anyways.

Also drop the tasklet_kill() since this is done by the virt-dma driver
during the vchan_synchronize().

[PATCH 03/11] dmaengine: imx-sdma: cosmetic cleanup

Make use of local struct device pointer to not dereference the
platform_device pointer everytime.

Not related this patch, you can remove this check later because
dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() never return failure when >= 32bit.

[PATCH 04/11] dmaengine: imx-sdma: make use of devm_kzalloc for script_addrs

[Marco Felsch]

Shuffle the allocation of script_addrs and make use of devm_kzalloc() to
drop the local error handling as well as the kfree() during the remove.

[PATCH 05/11] dmaengine: imx-sdma: make use of devm_clk_get_prepared()

[Marco Felsch]

Make use of the devm_clk_get_prepared() to cleanup the error handling
during probe() and to automatically unprepare the clock during remove.

[PATCH 06/11] dmaengine: imx-sdma: make use of devm_add_action_or_reset to unregiser the dma_device

[Marco Felsch]

Make use of the devm_add_action_or_reset() to register a custom devm_
release hook. This is required since we want to turn of the IRQs before
doing the dma_async_device_unregister().

This removes the last goto error handling within the probe function and
further trims the remove() function. Instead of freeing the irq, we can
disable it and let the devm-irq do the job to free the irq, since the
only purpose was to have the irqs disabled before calling
dma_async_device_unregister().

Convert the probe function to dev_err_probe() which helps users to
identify issues better.

[PATCH 08/11] dmaengine: imx-sdma: fix missing of_dma_controller_free()

[Marco Felsch]

Add the missing of_dma_controller_free() to free the resources allocated
via of_dma_controller_register(). The missing free was introduced long
time ago  by commit 23e118113782 ("dma: imx-sdma: use
module_platform_driver for SDMA driver") while adding a proper .remove()
implementation.

Look it is hard to back port to old kernel.  Can move it to before cleanup?

[PATCH 09/11] dmaengine: add support for device_link

[Marco Felsch]

Add support to create device_links between dmaengine suppliers and the
dma consumers. This shifts the device dep-chain teardown/bringup logic
to the driver core.

Moving this to the core allows the dmaengine drivers to simplify the
.remove() hooks and also to ensure that no dmaengine driver is ever
removed before the consumer is removed.

Thank you work for devlink between dmaengine and devices. I have similar
idea.

This patch should be first patch.

The below what planned commit message in my local tree.

Implementing runtime PM for DMA channels is challenging. If a channel
resumes at allocation and suspends at free, the DMA engine often remains on
because most drivers request a channel at probe.

Tracking the number of pending DMA descriptors is also problematic, as some
consumers append new descriptors in atomic contexts, such as IRQ handlers,
where runtime resume cannot be called.

Using a device link simplifies this issue. If a consumer requires data
transfer, it must be in a runtime-resumed state, ensuring that the DMA
channel is also active by device link. This allows safe operations, like
appending new descriptors. Conversely, when the consumer no longer requires
data transfer, both it and the supplier (DMA channel) can enter a suspended
state if no other consumer is using it.

Introduce the `create_link` flag to enable this feature.

also suggest add create_link flag to enable this feature in case some
side impact to other dma-engine. After some time test, we can enable it
default.

chan->device->dev is dmaengine devices. But some dmaengine's each channel
have device, consumer should link to chan's device, not dmaengine device
because some dmaengine support per channel clock\power management.

chan's device's parent devices is dmaengine devices. it should also work
for sdma case


        if (chan->device->create_devlink) {
                u32 flags = DL_FLAG_STATELESS | DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME | DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER;

                if (pm_runtime_active(dev))
                        flags |= DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE;

When create device link (apply channel), consume may active.


                dl = device_link_add(chan->slave, &chan->dev->device, flags);
        }

[PATCH 10/11] dmaengine: imx-sdma: drop remove callback

[Marco Felsch]

The whole driver was converted to the devm APIs except for this last
for-loop. This loop is buggy due to three reasons:
 1) It removes the channels without removing the users first. This can
    lead to very bad situations.
 2) The loop starts at 0 and which is channel0 which is a special
    control channel not registered via vchan_init(). Therefore the
    remove() always Oops because of NULL pointer exception.
 3) sdma_free_chan_resources() disable the clks unconditional without
    checking if the clks are enabled. This is done for all
    MAX_DMA_CHANNELS which hang the system if there is at least one unused
    channel.

Since the dmaengine core supports devlinks we already addressed the
first issue.

The devlink support also addresses the third issue because during the
consumer teardown phase each requested channel is dropped accordingly so
the dmaengine driver doesn't need to this.

The second issue is fixed by not doing anything on channel0.

To sum-up, all issues are fixed by dropping the .remove() callback and
let the frameworks do their job.

I not realize devlink have this beanfit also. devlink may need more review,
which change some default behavior. I suggest put dmaengin dmalink at this
patch to new serial.

It is easily omited by other dmaengine owner if mixed it to cleanup serial.

[PATCH 11/11] dmaengine: imx-sdma: fix spba-bus handling for i.MX8M

[Marco Felsch]

Starting with i.MX8M* devices there are multiple spba-busses so we can't
just search the whole DT for the first spba-bus match and take it.
Instead we need to check for each device to which bus it belongs and
setup the spba_{start,end}_addr accordingly per sdma_channel.

While on it, don't ignore errors from of_address_to_resource() if they
are valid.
