When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data. Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is halted once it's full. Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments. With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms, average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time (75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus). The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer. This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach, I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty, avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as well: It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel. On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz, they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds. Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition: TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up. If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled. I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.
