I can present the two options that Hake and I have discussed in this thread to see if there’s any feedback on which direction to take for the new API that is being suggested.

(Happy to do this so Hake doesn’t have to be awake at a crazy hour for him).

Hi Hake,

Is this something you want to discuss at the API meeting today? It's at 18h CET.

Thanks,

617 return false;
618 else

620 }
621
622 static int __init dmatest_init(void)

629 dma_cap_set(DMA_MEMCPY, mask);
630 for (;;) {
631 chan = dma_request_channel(mask, filter, NULL);
632 if (chan) {
633 err = dmatest_add_channel(chan);
634 if (err) {
635 dma_release_channel(chan);
636 break; /* add_channel failed, punt */
637 }
638 } else
639 break; /* no more channels available */
640 if (max_channels && nr_channels >= max_channels)
641 break; /* we have all we need */
642 }
643
644 return err;
645 }

In Linux the dma api use a filter function point as its parameter, so
the zephyr request API can be

static int dma_edma_request_channel(const struct device *dev,
channel_filter_func filter, void
*
filter_param) {
int i = 0;
int channel = -EINVAL;

k_mutex_lock(&DEV_DATA(dev)->dma_mutex, K_FOREVER);

for (i = 0; i < DEV_CFG(dev)->dma_channels; i++) {
if (!atomic_test_and_set_bit(DEV_DATA(dev)->dma_channels,
i)) {
channel = i;
if (fn && !fn(filter_param)) {
continue;
}
break;
}
}
k_mutex_unlock(&DEV_DATA(dev)->dma_mutex);

return channel;
}

And each SOC vender response to provide the filter function, if no
filter then just give NULL.


How about this solution?

Regards,
Hake

1. I think we handle that on a case by case basis and wait and see
how it develops over time. If we keep these APIs vendor specific for
now we can refactor or introduce a general API for ‘filter’ when we see the pattern.

2. The ‘if’ has to exist somewhere. The ‘if’ is either in the API or
the caller.

The concern I have is we don’t know what kinda of ‘filters’ we need
today beyond the ‘periodic’ one which is specific to NXP hardware.

Hi Gala,

According to the usage of these two APIs, I have two concerns

1. What if there are other special DMA attribute than periodic? We
will

have to add more APIs?

2. in the peripheral driver, the DMA request can be periodic or not

periodic, then we have to use if else instead of a simple call with
filter.

Hake

Hake,

So I was thinking about the following idea:

Having 2 general purpose APIs:

dma_request_channel(const struct device *dev)
dma_release_channel(const struct device *dev)

Than 2 eDMA specific APIs:

mcux_edma_request_periodic_channel(const struct device *dev)
mcux_edma_release_periodic_channel(const struct device *dev)

Hake,

The ‘filter’ feature I’m still trying to figure out how we handle.
I’m

curious if other vendors have channels that have specific features
like ‘periodic’ that only are supported on specific channels or not.

Hopefully, Erwan might be able to know for STM32.

Hi Gala,

I will create a separated PR for DMA new API only.

and one question for below:
"use some of the generic devicetree properties in

"dts/bindings/dma/dma-controller.yaml”. The number space allocation
code seems pretty generic"

Do you mean, instead of just add API call but move below implement
to

common code?

static int dma_mcux_edma_request_channel(const struct device *dev,
enum dma_channel_filter
filter) {
int i = 0;
int channel = -EINVAL;

k_mutex_lock(&DEV_DATA(dev)->dma_mutex, K_FOREVER);

for (i = 0; i < DEV_CFG(dev)->dma_channels; i++) {
/* channel 0-3 is Period trigger enabled */
if (filter == DMA_CHANNEL_PERIODIC && i > 3) {
break;
}
if
(!atomic_test_and_set_bit(DEV_DATA(dev)->dma_channels,

i)) {

channel = i;
break;
}
}

k_mutex_unlock(&DEV_DATA(dev)->dma_mutex);

return channel;
}

If so the filter is hard to aligned, as different SOC has
different

filter setting.

Regards,
Hake

is added dma_api_request_channel request_channel;
dma_api_release_channel release_channel; the two APIs are for DMA

different DMA requests. and a filter is also added in case of special DMA channel features.

Slack topic discussion is here

Can this topic be scheduled in next API meeting? Thanks.

I wonder if we should pull this into a separate PR. I think a
fair

amount of the code for these APIs could be generic.

For example I think we can use some of the generic devicetree

properties in "dts/bindings/dma/dma-controller.yaml”. The number
space allocation code seems pretty generic, even if it just library
code used by all the drivers.
