Subject: [PATCH v4 2/9] dmaengine: Add safe API to combine configuration and preparation
Date: Wed, 06 May 2026 16:44:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506-dma_prep_config-v4-2-85b3d22babff@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260506-dma_prep_config-v4-0-85b3d22babff@nxp.com>
Introduce dmaengine_prep_config_single_safe() and
dmaengine_prep_config_sg_safe() to provide a reentrant-safe way to
combine slave configuration and transfer preparation.
Drivers may implement the new device_prep_config_sg() callback to perform
both steps atomically. If the callback is not provided, the helpers fall
back to calling dmaengine_slave_config() followed by
dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() under per-channel mutex protection.

chagne in v4
- use spinlock() to protect config() and prep()
change in v3
- new patch
