[PATCH 00/12] dmaengine: dw-edma: Prepare for PCI EP DMA (part 1/3)

From: Koichiro Den

Hi,

This is part 1 of three series for PCI endpoint DMA.

The three series are:

* part 1: dmaengine: dw-edma: Prepare for PCI EP DMA
* part 2: PCI: endpoint: Expose endpoint DMA resources
* part 3: PCI: endpoint: Add PCI DMA endpoint function

This first series contains the dmaengine and dw-edma groundwork needed
to let a PCI endpoint function delegate selected endpoint-integrated DMA
channels to a PCI host. It does not add the endpoint function itself.


Background
==========

I previously posted this RFC:

[PATCH 00/15] PCI: endpoint: Remote DMA support via vNTB
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20260312165005.1148676-1-den@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

That design exposed the endpoint-local PCIe DMA engine through
vNTB. This version moves the DMA engine into its own endpoint function
instead. The host then sees a DMA controller PCI function, and vNTB does
not need to carry a DMA-specific ABI.

The immediate motivation is NTB transport between a directly attached EP
and RC. The goal is to use the endpoint-local DMA engine and avoid the
extra CPU copy in both directions.


Scope
=====

This series:

* makes dma_get_slave_channel() available outside dmaengine core so an
endpoint function can reserve exact channels before delegation,
* adds dw-edma helpers for channel lookup and per-channel interrupt routing,
* adds a partial channel ownership mode for delegated channel sets, and
* prepares dw-edma-pcie to describe device-specific DMA layouts through
match data.

The PCI endpoint metadata format, DesignWare endpoint resource exposure,
and the endpoint function driver are added by parts 2 and 3.


Dependencies
============

This series is based on dmaengine/next at:

362ee0c0dc52 ("dmaengine: Move MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE next to the table itself")

Parts 2 and 3 depend on this series.


Best regards,
Koichiro
