The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.

This patch converts drivers/dma/* from tasklet to BH workqueue.

Based on the work done by Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-6.10

Hi Allen,

Subsytem is dmaengine, can you rename this to dmaengine: ...

Thanks for conversion, am happy with BH alternative as it helps in
dmaengine where we need shortest possible time between tasklet and
interrupt handling to maximize dma performance

Can we name these as bh_work to signify that we are always in bh

This is good conversion, thanks for ensuring system_bh_highpri_wq is
used here

I still feel that we want something different for dmaengine,
at least in the long run. As we have discussed in the past,
the tasklet context in these drivers is what the callbacks
from the dma client device is run in, and a lot of these probably
want something other than tasklet context, e.g. just call
complete() on a client-provided completion structure.

Instead of open-coding the use of the system_bh_wq in each
dmaengine, how about we start with a custom WQ_BH
specifically for the dmaengine subsystem and wrap them
inside of another interface.

Since almost every driver associates the tasklet with the
dma_chan, we could go one step further and add the
work_queue structure directly into struct dma_chan,
with the wrapper operating on the dma_chan rather than
the work_queue.

 My apologies, will have it fixed in v2.

I think that is very great idea. having this wrapped in dma_chan would
be very good way as well

Am not sure if Allen is up for it :-)

 Thanks Arnd, I know we did speak about this at LPC. I did start
working on using completion. I dropped it as I thought it would
be easier to move to workqueues.

Vinod, I would like to give this a shot and put out a RFC, I would
really appreciate review and feedback.

Thanks,

It's definitely easier to do the workqueue conversion as a first
step, and I agree adding support for the completion right away is
probably too much. Moving the work_struct into the dma_chan
is probably not too hard though, if you leave your current
approach for the cases where the tasklet is part of the
dma_dev rather than the dma_chan.

 Alright, I will work on moving work_struck into the dma_chan and
leave the dma_dev as is (using bh workqueues) and post a RFC.
Once reviewed, I could move to the next step.

Thank you.

That might be better from a performance pov but the current design is a
global tasklet and not a per chan one... We would need to carefully
review and test this for sure

Sounds like a good plan to me

Why is "my" driver not allowed to use system_bh_highpri_wq?

I can't see the reasoning between some drivers using system_bh_wq
and others being highpri?

Given the DMA usecase I would expect them all to be high prio.

It didnt use tasklet_hi_schedule(), I guess Allen has done the
conversion of tasklet_schedule -> system_bh_wq and tasklet_hi_schedule
-> system_bh_highpri_wq

Anyway, we are going to use a dma queue so should be better performance
