Handling Errors

DMA address space is limited on some architectures and an allocation
failure can be determined by:

- checking if dma_alloc_coherent returns NULL or dma_map_sg returns 0

- checking the returned dma_addr_t of dma_map_single and dma_map_page
by using dma_mapping_error():

dma_addr_t dma_handle;

dma_handle = dma_map_single(dev, addr, size, direction);
if (dma_mapping_error(dev, dma_handle)) {
/*
* reduce current DMA mapping usage,
* delay and try again later or
* reset driver.
*/
}

Networking drivers must call dev_kfree_skb to free the socket buffer
and return NETDEV_TX_OK if the DMA mapping fails on the transmit hook
(ndo_start_xmit). This means that the socket buffer is just dropped in
the failure case.

SCSI drivers must return SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY if the DMA mapping
fails in the queuecommand hook. This means that the SCSI subsystem
passes the command to the driver again later.

Optimizing Unmap State Space Consumption

On many platforms, dma_unmap_{single,page}() is simply a nop.

1) Struct scatterlist requirements.

Don't invent the architecture specific struct scatterlist; just use
<asm-generic/scatterlist.h>. You need to enable
CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH if the architecture supports IOMMUs
(including software IOMMU).

2) ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN

Architectures must ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is
DMA-safe. Drivers and subsystems depend on it. If an architecture
isn't fully DMA-coherent (i.e. hardware doesn't ensure that data in
the CPU cache is identical to data in main memory),
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN must be set so that the memory allocator
makes sure that kmalloc'ed buffer doesn't share a cache line with
the others. See arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h as an example.

Note that ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is about DMA memory alignment
constraints. You don't need to worry about the architecture data
alignment constraints (e.g. the alignment constraints about 64-bit
objects).
Struct scatterlist must contain, at a minimum, the following
members:

struct page *page;
unsigned int offset;
unsigned int length;

The base address is specified by a "page+offset" pair.

Previous versions of struct scatterlist contained a "void *address"
field that was sometimes used instead of page+offset. As of Linux
2.5., page+offset is always used, and the "address" field has been
deleted.

listed below will be removed (they may be marked as __deprecated
in the near future).

The following functions now either have a s3c_ specific variant
or are merged into gpiolib. See the definitions in
arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/gpio-cfg.h:

s3c2410_gpio_setpin() gpio_set_value() or gpio_direction_output()
s3c2410_gpio_getpin() gpio_get_value() or gpio_direction_input()

s3c2410_gpio_getcfg() s3c_gpio_getcfg()
s3c2410_gpio_pullup() s3c_gpio_setpull()


GPIOLIB conversion
------------------

If you need to convert your board or driver to use gpiolib from the exiting
s3c2410 api, then here are some notes on the process.

1) If your board is exclusively using an GPIO, say to control peripheral
power, then it will require to claim the gpio with gpio_request() before
it can use it.

It is recommended to check the return value, with at least WARN_ON()
during initialisation.

2) The s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin() can be directly replaced with s3c_gpio_cfgpin()
as they have the same arguments, and can either take the pin specific
values, or the more generic special-function-number arguments.

3) s3c2410_gpio_pullup() changs have the problem that whilst the
s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 1) can be easily translated to the
s3c_gpio_setpull(x, S3C_GPIO_PULL_NONE), the s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0)
are not so easy.

The s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0) case enables the pull-up (or in the case
of some of the devices, a pull-down) and as such the new API distinguishes
between the UP and DOWN case. There is currently no 'just turn on' setting
which may be required if this becomes a problem.

4) s3c2410_gpio_setpin() can be replaced by gpio_set_value(), the old call
does not implicitly configure the relevant gpio to output. The gpio
direction should be changed before using gpio_set_value().

5) s3c2410_gpio_getpin() is replaceable by gpio_get_value() if the pin
has been set to input. It is currently unknown what the behaviour is
when using gpio_get_value() on an output pin (s3c2410_gpio_getpin
would return the value the pin is supposed to be outputting).

6) s3c2410_gpio_getirq() should be directly replacable with the
gpio_to_irq() call.

The s3c2410_gpio and gpio_ calls have always operated on the same gpio
numberspace, so there is no problem with converting the gpio numbering
between the calls.

from gpio pin number to register base address as in earlier kernels. This
is due to the number space required for newer SoCs where the later

The Samsung S3C24XX range of ARM9 System-on-Chip CPUs are supported
by the 's3c2410' architecture of ARM Linux. Currently the S3C2410,
S3C2412, S3C2413, S3C2416 S3C2440, S3C2442, S3C2443 and S3C2450 devices
are supported.
S3C2412, S3C2413, S3C2440, S3C2442 and S3C2443 devices are supported.

Support for the S3C2400 and S3C24A0 series are in progress.

The S3C2416 and S3C2450 devices are very similar and S3C2450 support is
included under the arch/arm/mach-s3c2416 directory. Note, whilst core
support for these SoCs is in, work on some of the extra peripherals
and extra interrupts is still ongoing.

As of v2.6.34, the move towards using gpiolib support is almost
complete, and very little of the old calls are left.
