[PATCH v4 3/4] dma/ae4dma: add data path operations
Raghavendra Ningoji

Mon Jul 6 13:55:32 CEST 2026
Implement the dmadev fast path (copy, submit, completed,
completed_status and burst_capacity) for the AMD AE4DMA PMD and wire
the entry points through fp_obj in ae4dma_dmadev_create().
The framework-visible ring index is a free-running 16-bit value; the
HW ring slot is derived as (hw_base + idx) & (nb_desc - 1), which is
why the vchan ring depth is kept a power of two. completed() and
completed_status() always report the last completed ring_idx via
last_idx, even when no new op is reaped, as required by the dmadev
API. Only memory-to-memory copy is advertised, so fp_obj->fill is
left zero-initialised.
AE4DMA-specific completion handling: the engine reports completion by
advancing the per-queue read_idx register rather than reliably writing
a status word back, so the driver uses read_idx as the source of truth
and only reads the descriptor err_code byte to flag failures.

@@ -51,3 +51,27 @@ On probe the PMD performs the following steps for each PCI function:
IOVA-contiguous memory, programs the queue base address and ring
depth into the per-queue registers, and enables the queue.
* Interrupts are masked; completion is polled by the application.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Once a dmadev has been started, copies are submitted with
+``rte_dma_copy()`` and completions are reaped with ``rte_dma_completed()``
+or ``rte_dma_completed_status()``. See the
+:ref:`Enqueue / Dequeue API <dmadev_enqueue_dequeue>` section of the
+dmadev library documentation for details.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* Only memory-to-memory copies are supported. Fill, scatter-gather and
+ any other operation types are not advertised in
+ ``rte_dma_info::dev_capa``.
+* The maximum number of descriptors per virtual channel is fixed by
+ hardware at 32, and the engine reserves one slot to distinguish a full
+ ring from an empty one, so at most 31 operations can be outstanding
+ (``rte_dma_burst_capacity()`` returns at most 31). The PMD rounds the
+ requested ring size up to a power of two and clamps it to 32.
+* Only a single virtual channel per dmadev is supported; use the 16
+ per-PCI-function dmadevs to obtain channel-level parallelism.
+* Interrupt-driven completion is not supported.
