This change will add support for LOCK & UNLOCK flag bit support on CMD descriptor. If DMA_PREP_LOCK flag passed in prep_slave_sg then requester of this transaction wanted to lock the DMA controller for this transaction so BAM driver should set LOCK bit for the HW descriptor. If DMA_PREP_UNLOCK flag passed in prep_slave_sg then requester of this transaction wanted to unlock the DMA controller.so BAM driver should set UNLOCK bit for the HW descriptor.Can you explain why would we need to first lock and then unlock..? How would this be used in real world. I have read a bit of documentation but is unclear to me. Also should this be exposed as an API to users, sounds like internal to driver..?IPQ5018 SoC having only one Crypto Hardware Engine. This Crypto Hardware Engine will be shared between A53 core & ubi32 core. There is two separate driver dedicated to A53 core and ubi32 core. So to use Crypto Hardware Engine parallelly for encryption/description we need bam locking mechanism. if one driver will submit the request for encryption/description to Crypto then first it has to set LOCK flag bit on command descriptor so that other pipes will get locked. The Pipe Locking/Unlocking will be only on command-descriptor. Upon encountering a command descriptor with LOCK bit set, The BAM will lock all other pipes not related to the current pipe group, and keep handling the current pipe only until it sees the UNLOCK set then it will release all locked pipes. locked pipe will not fetch new descriptors even if it got event/events adding more descriptors for this pipe (locked pipe). No need to expose as an API to user because its internal to driver, so while preparing command descriptor just we have to update the LOCK/UNLOCK flag.
ping! Is there any update on this ? Do you need any further info ?
