Subject: [Query]: What should we do in txd->tx_submit() and device_issue_pending()
Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:59:27 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E254067.1060408@st.com> (raw)

Hi Dan/Vinod,

I have one query regarding implementation of few routines in DMA drivers.

What the exact purpose of txd->tx_submit() and device_issue_pending() routines?

Should tx_submit() always start physical transfer (Obviously, if channel is free)?
Or should it just queue requests and then finally a call to device_issue_pending()
must start physical transfers?
