Hi Wei, I was referring to: http://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=118290909528910&w=2 async_tx is an api that exploits the raw capabilities of the new dmaengine interface. For your case when the existing api calls do not provide the proper interface you can open code something like the following: tx = dev->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_flag) tx->tx_set_src(dma_addr_t, tx, index /* for multi-source ops */) tx->tx_set_dest(dma_addr_t, tx, index) tx->tx_submit(tx) The expectation is that the most common usages of dmaengines will use async_tx calls, or the 'dma_async_memcpy_foo_to_bar' helper routines. -- Dan _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
