Channel switching is problematic for some dmaengine drivers as the
architecture precludes separating the ->prep from ->submit. In these
cases the driver can select ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH to modify
the async_tx allocator to only return channels that support all of the
required asynchronous operations.
For example MD_RAID456=y selects support for asynchronous xor, xor
validate, pq, pq validate, and memcpy. When
ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH=y any channel with all these
capabilities is marked DMA_ASYNC_TX allowing async_tx_find_channel() to
quickly locate compatible channels with the guarantee that dependency
chains will remain on one channel. When
ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH=n async_tx_find_channel() may select
channels that lead to operation chains that need to cross channel
boundaries using the async_tx channel switch capability.

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.

async_raid6_2data_recov() recovers two data disk failures
async_raid6_datap_recov() recovers a data disk and the P disk
These routines are a port of the synchronous versions found in
drivers/md/raid6recov.c. The primary difference is breaking out the xor
operations into separate calls to async_xor. Two helper routines are
introduced to perform scalar multiplication where needed.
async_sum_product() multiplies two sources by scalar coefficients and
then sums (xor) the result. async_mult() simply multiplies a single
source by a scalar.
This implemention also includes, in contrast to the original
synchronous-only code, special case handling for the 4-disk and 5-disk
array cases. In these situations the default N-disk algorithm will
present 0-source or 1-source operations to dma devices. To cover for
dma devices where the minimum source count is 2 we implement 4-disk and
5-disk handling in the recovery code.

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.

We currently walk the parent chain when waiting for a given tx to

there is no longer a requirement to iterate through all the channels'

async_xor() needs space to perform dma and page address conversions. In

sizeof(struct page *), or to preserve the input parameters, we utilize a

In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to
gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another. While the
flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending. Setting
the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage
collection. The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the
chain after adding this dependency". Since each operation can only have
one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency
submission time. This removes an unnecessary management burden from
clients of the api.

2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a

When the number of source buffers for an xor operation exceeds the hardware
channel maximum async_xor creates a chain of dependent operations. The result
of one operation is reused as an input to the next to continue the xor

to fallback to the synchronous path as this will preclude the buffer from being

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the

For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.

The tx_set_src and tx_set_dest methods were originally implemented to allow

drivers to have all transaction parameters available at 'prep' time, saves
two function pointers in struct dma_async_tx_descriptor, and reduces the
number of indirect branches..
A consequence of moving this data to the 'prep' routine is that
multi-source routines like async_xor need temporary storage to convert an
array of linear addresses into an array of dma addresses. In order to keep
the same stack footprint of the previous implementation the input array is
reused as storage for the dma addresses. This requires that
sizeof(dma_addr_t) be less than or equal to sizeof(void *). As a

The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies. It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources.
I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown
async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;
if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
...
tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
...
tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
...
async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
...
<operation>
...
async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
}
return tx;
}
async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.
Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available
Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied
source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch
modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
to mirror the hardware.
