* DMA_CTRL_ACK

- - Undocumented feature
|
|
|
- - No one really has an idea of what it's about, besides being
|
|
|
- related to reusing the DMA transaction descriptors or having
|
|
|
- additional transactions added to it in the async-tx API
|
|
|
- - Useless in the case of the slave API
|
|
|
+ - If set, the transfer can be reused after being completed.
|
|
|
+ - There is a guarantee the transfer won't be freed until it is acked
|
|
|
+ by async_tx_ack().
|
|
|
+ - As a consequence, if a device driver wants to skip the dma_map_sg() and
|
|
|
+ dma_unmap_sg() in between 2 transfers, because the DMA'd data wasn't used,
|
|
|
+ it can resubmit the transfer right after its completion.
