If there is reason for not using that one? Furthermore I missed replying to your email earlier on use of dmaengine_prep_interleaved_dma(), my apologies. That can be made to work for you as well.

If there is reason for not using that one? Well I think I answer that in the commit message, don't I? > Furthermore I missed replying to your email earlier on use of > dmaengine_prep_interleaved_dma(), my apologies. > That can be made to work for you as well.

So if I want to transfer 16 bytes from 0x10, then 16 bytes from 0x0, then 16 bytes from 0x20, how should I configure the dma_interleaved_template?

This function can be used to initiate a scatter-gather DMA transfer, where the address and size of each segment is located in one entry of the dma_vec array. The major difference with dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() is that it supports specifying the lengths of each DMA transfer; as trying to override the length of the transfer with dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() is a very tedious process. The introduction of a new API function is also justified by the fact that scatterlists are on their way out. Note that dmaengine_prep_interleaved_dma() is not helpful either in that case, as it assumes that the address of each segment will be higher than the one of the previous segment, which we just cannot guarantee in case of a scatter-gather transfer. Signed-off-by: Paul Cercueil <paul@crapouillou.net> --- v3: New patch v5: Replace with function dmaengine_prep_slave_dma_vec(), and struct 'dma_vec'. Note that at some point we will need to support cyclic transfers using dmaengine_prep_slave_dma_vec(). Maybe with a new "flags" parameter to the function? --- include/linux/dmaengine.h | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+)
