docs: core-api: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup

2021-06-17T19:24:37+00:00

The :doc:`foo` tag is auto-generated via automarkup.py. So, use the filename at the sources, instead of :doc:`foo`. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d967d490b6655735b7df292f88859b5a1b07d0d7.1623824363.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

dma-mapping: add a dma_alloc_noncontiguous API

2021-03-15T09:02:31+00:00

Add a new API that returns a potentiall virtually non-contigous sg_table and a DMA address. This API is only properly implemented for dma-iommu and will simply return a contigious chunk as a fallback. The intent is that drivers can use this API if either: - no kernel mapping or only temporary kernel mappings are required. That is as a better replacement for DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING - a kernel mapping is required for cached and DMA mapped pages, but the driver also needs the pages to e.g. map them to userspace. In that sense it is a replacement for some aspects of the recently removed and never fully implemented DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Tomasz Figa Tested-by: Ricardo Ribalda

dma-mapping: add a dma_mmap_pages helper

2021-03-15T09:02:31+00:00

Add a helper to map memory allocated using dma_alloc_pages into a user address space, similar to the dma_alloc_attrs function for coherent allocations. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Tomasz Figa Tested-by: Ricardo Ribalda

dma-mapping: remove the {alloc,free}_noncoherent methods

2021-02-09T17:01:38+00:00

It turns out allowing non-contigous allocations here was a rather bad idea, as we'll now need to define ways to get the pages for mmaping or dma_buf sharing. Revert this change and stick to the original concept. A different API for the use case of non-contigous allocations will be added back later.

dma-mapping: document dma_{alloc,free}_pages

2020-10-23T10:07:46+00:00

Document the new dma_alloc_pages and dma_free_pages APIs, and fix up the documentation for dma_alloc_noncoherent and dma_free_noncoherent. Reported-by: Robin Murphy Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Robin Murphy

dma-mapping: add a new dma_alloc_noncoherent API

2020-09-25T04:20:43+00:00

Add a new API to allocate and free memory that is guaranteed to be addressable by a device, but which potentially is not cache coherent for DMA. To transfer ownership to and from the device, the existing streaming DMA API calls dma_sync_single_for_device and dma_sync_single_for_cpu must be used. For now the new calls are implemented on top of dma_alloc_attrs just like the old-noncoherent API, but once all drivers are switched to the new API it will be replaced with a better working implementation that is available on all architectures.

dma-mapping: move the dma_declare_coherent_memory documentation

2020-09-11T07:17:42+00:00

dma_declare_coherent_memory should not be in a DMA API guide aimed at driver writers (that is consumers of the API). Move it to a comment near the function instead. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Robin Murphy

Merge tag 'docs-5.9' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a while to come. Changes include: - Some new Chinese translations - Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS URLs - Some block-mq documentation - More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again for a while.
