* async_tx: build-time toggling of async_{syndrome,xor}_val dma supportDan Williams2009-11-191-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ioat3.2 does not support asynchronous error notifications which makes the driver experience latencies when non-zero pq validate results are expected. Provide a mechanism for turning off async_xor_val and async_syndrome_val via Kconfig. This approach is generally useful for any driver that specifies ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH and would like to force the async_tx api to fall back to the synchronous path for certain operations.

* async_pq: rename scribble pageDan Williams2009-10-191-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | The global scribble page is used as a temporary destination buffer when disabling the P or Q result is requested. The local scribble buffer contains memory for performing address conversions. Rename the global variable to avoid confusion. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
* async_pq: kill a stray dma_map() call and other cleanupsDan Williams2009-10-191-7/+8

* raid6/async_tx: handle holes in block list in async_syndrome_valNeilBrown2009-10-161-7/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | async_syndrome_val check the P and Q blocks used for RAID6 calculations. With DDF raid6, some of the data blocks might be NULL, so this needs to be handled in the same way that async_gen_syndrome handles it. As async_syndrome_val calls async_xor, also enhance async_xor to detect and skip NULL blocks in the list. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md/async: don't pass a memory pointer as a page pointer.NeilBrown2009-10-161-11/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md/raid6 passes a list of 'struct page *' to the async_tx routines, which then either DMA map them for offload, or take the page_address for CPU based calculations. For RAID6 we sometime leave 'blanks' in the list of pages. For CPU based calcs, we want to treat theses as a page of zeros. For offloaded calculations, we simply don't pass a page to the hardware. Currently the 'blanks' are encoded as a pointer to raid6_empty_zero_page. This is a 4096 byte memory region, not a 'struct page'. This is mostly handled correctly but is rather ugly. So change the code to pass and expect a NULL pointer for the blanks. When taking page_address of a page, we need to check for a NULL and in that case use raid6_empty_zero_page.

* dmaengine, async_tx: support alignment checksDan Williams2009-09-081-2/+4
| | | | | | | | Some engines have transfer size and address alignment restrictions. Add a per-operation alignment property to struct dma_device that the async routines and dmatest can use to check alignment capabilities. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
* dmaengine: add fence supportDan Williams2009-09-081-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some engines optimize operation by reading ahead in the descriptor chain such that descriptor2 may start execution before descriptor1 completes. If descriptor2 depends on the result from descriptor1 then a fence is required (on descriptor2) to disable this optimization. The async_tx api could implicitly identify dependencies via the 'depend_tx' parameter, but that would constrain cases where the dependency chain only specifies a completion order rather than a data dependency. So, provide an ASYNC_TX_FENCE to explicitly identify data dependencies. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
* async_tx: add support for asynchronous GF multiplicationDan Williams2009-08-291-0/+388
[ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ] This adds support for doing asynchronous GF multiplication by adding two additional functions to the async_tx API: async_gen_syndrome() does simultaneous XOR and Galois field multiplication of sources. async_syndrome_val() validates the given source buffers against known P and Q values. When a request is made to run async_pq against more than the hardware maximum number of supported sources we need to reuse the previous generated P and Q values as sources into the next operation. Care must be taken to remove Q from P' and P from Q'. For example to perform a 5 source pq op with hardware that only supports 4 sources at a time the following approach is taken: p, q = PQ(src0, src1, src2, src3, COEF({01}, {02}, {04}, {08})) p', q' = PQ(p, q, q, src4, COEF({00}, {01}, {00}, {10})) p' = p + q + q + src4 = p + src4 q' = {00}*p + {01}*q + {00}*q + {10}*src4 = q + {10}*src4 Note: 4 is the minimum acceptable maxpq otherwise we punt to synchronous-software path. The DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag indicates to the driver to reuse p and q as sources (in the above manner) and fill the remaining slots up to maxpq with the new sources/coefficients. Note1: Some devices have native support for P+Q continuation and can skip this extra work. Devices with this capability can advertise it with dma_set_maxpq. It is up to each driver how to handle the DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag. Note2: The api supports disabling the generation of P when generating Q, this is ignored by the synchronous path but is implemented by some dma devices to save unnecessary writes. In this case the continuation algorithm is simplified to only reuse Q as a source. Cc: H.
