The metadata is best described as side band data or parameters traveling alongside the data DMAd by the DMA engine. It is data which is understood by the peripheral and the peripheral driver only, the DMA engine see it only as data block and it is not interpreting it in any way. The metadata can be different per descriptor as it is a parameter for the data being transferred. If the DMA supports per descriptor metadata it can implement the attach, get_ptr/set_len callbacks. Client drivers must only use either attach or get_ptr/set_len to avoid misconfiguration. Client driver can check if a given metadata mode is supported by the channel during probe time with dmaengine_is_metadata_mode_supported(chan, DESC_METADATA_CLIENT); dmaengine_is_metadata_mode_supported(chan, DESC_METADATA_ENGINE); and based on this information can use either mode. Wrappers are also added for the metadata_ops. To be used in DESC_METADATA_CLIENT mode: dmaengine_desc_attach_metadata() To be used in DESC_METADATA_ENGINE mode: dmaengine_desc_get_metadata_ptr() dmaengine_desc_set_metadata_len() Signed-off-by: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Tero Kristo <t-kristo@ti.com> Tested-by: Keerthy <j-keerthy@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Grygorii Strashko <grygorii.strashko@ti.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191223110458.30766-5-peter.ujfalusi@ti.com Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vkoul@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
