Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 4/4] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Extend metadata handling for AXI DMA and MCDMA
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:20:03 +0530 [thread overview]

> xilinx_dma_get_metadata_ptr() exposed only the descriptor APP fields.
> Each descriptor also carries a status word, and AXI MCDMA carries an
> AXI4-Stream sideband word holding TID, TDEST and TUSER that clients may
> need. Return a pointer to the status word so clients can read the status,
> the sideband and the APP fields together. The exact index layout is
> documented at the function.
>
> Take the pointer from the End-Of-Frame descriptor, where the hardware
> writes these fields. For AXI DMA the pointer now starts at the status word
> of the EOF descriptor instead of the APP fields of the first descriptor,
> and the payload grows from 20 to 24 bytes. No in-tree consumer is affected,
> since axienet reads the RX frame length from result->residue rather than
> the APP fields.
>
> Read xlnx,axistream-connected for MCDMA as well, and attach metadata_ops
> in xilinx_mcdma_prep_slave_sg() when an AXI Stream interface is present,
> so MCDMA clients use the metadata API the same way as AXI DMA clients.

> Changes in V4:

> - Rewrote the kernel-doc as an index table covering AXI DMA, MCDMA S2MM
> and MCDMA MM2S, and documented that the pointer and payload length are
> the same for both MCDMA directions.
> - Added an inline comment explaining the union aliasing.
> - Condensed the commit message.

> Changes in V3:
> - Renamed subject to include "AXI DMA and MCDMA" (was "AXI MCDMA" only).
> - Complete rewrite of commit message and implementation.
> - Metadata pointer now returns status field at index 0 instead of APP
> fields, exposing status and sideband information to clients.
> - Changed from list_first_entry to list_last_entry to return the EOF
> descriptor where hardware writes status and APP fields.
> - Added explicit handling for both AXIDMA and MCDMA types with proper
> payload length calculation.
> - Added WARN_ON_ONCE for unsupported DMA types.
> - Removed the 'chan' field from struct xilinx_dma_tx_descriptor (was
> added in V2) as it's no longer needed; channel is obtained from
> tx->chan instead.
> - Dropped V2 patches 4/5 (dt-bindings xlnx,include-stscntrl-strm) and
> 5/5 (xferred_bytes support) as the approach changed to use residue.
>
> Changes in V2:
> - Added support for MCDMA metadata handling alongside AXIDMA.
> - Added 'chan' field to struct xilinx_dma_tx_descriptor.
