Merge commit 'dmaengine-3.13-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/dmaengine

Pull dmaengine changes from Dan

1/ Bartlomiej and Dan finalized a rework of the dma address unmap
   implementation.

2/ In the course of testing 1/ a collection of enhancements to dmatest
   fell out.  Notably basic performance statistics, and fixed / enhanced
   test control through new module parameters 'run', 'wait', 'noverify',
   and 'verbose'.  Thanks to Andriy and Linus for their review.

3/ Testing the raid related corner cases of 1/ triggered bugs in the
   recently added 16-source operation support in the ioatdma driver.

4/ Some minor fixes / cleanups to mv_xor and ioatdma.

Part 2 - When dmatest is built as a module...
After mounting debugfs and loading the module, the /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest
folder with nodes will be created. There are two important files located. First
is the 'run' node that controls run and stop phases of the test, and the second
one, 'results', is used to get the test case results.
Note that in this case test will not run on load automatically.
Example of usage:
% modprobe dmatest channel=dma0chan0 timeout=2000 iterations=1 run=1
...or:
% modprobe dmatest
% echo dma0chan0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
% echo 2000 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/timeout
% echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/iterations
% echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run
% echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
...or on the kernel command line:
dmatest.channel=dma0chan0 dmatest.timeout=2000 dmatest.iterations=1 dmatest.run=1
Hint: available channel list could be extracted by running the following
command:
% ls -1 /sys/class/dma/
After a while you will start to get messages about current status or error like
in the original code.
Once started a message like "dmatest: Started 1 threads using dma0chan0" is
emitted. After that only test failure messages are reported until the test
stops.
Note that running a new test will not stop any in progress test.
The following command should return actual state of the test.
% cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run
The following command returns the state of the test.
% cat /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
To wait for test done the user may perform a busy loop that checks the state.
To wait for test completion userpace can poll 'run' until it is false, or use
the wait parameter. Specifying 'wait=1' when loading the module causes module
initialization to pause until a test run has completed, while reading
/sys/module/dmatest/parameters/wait waits for any running test to complete
before returning. For example, the following scripts wait for 42 tests
to complete before exiting. Note that if 'iterations' is set to 'infinite' then
waiting is disabled.
% while [ $(cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run) = "Y" ]
> do
> echo -n "."
> sleep 1
> done
> echo
Example:
% modprobe dmatest run=1 iterations=42 wait=1
% modprobe -r dmatest
...or:
% modprobe dmatest run=1 iterations=42
% cat /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/wait

Part 4 - Gathering the test results
The module provides a storage for the test results in the memory. The gathered
data could be used after test is done.
Test results are printed to the kernel log buffer with the format:
The special file 'results' in the debugfs represents gathered data of the in
progress test. The messages collected are printed to the kernel log as well.
"dmatest: result <channel>: <test id>: '<error msg>' with src_off=<val> dst_off=<val> len=<val> (<err code>)"
Example of output:
% cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/results
dma0chan0-copy0: #1: No errors with src_off=0x7bf dst_off=0x8ad len=0x3fea (0)
% dmesg | tail -n 1
dmatest: result dma0chan0-copy0: #1: No errors with src_off=0x7bf dst_off=0x8ad len=0x3fea (0)
The message format is unified across the different types of errors. A number in
the parens represents additional information, e.g. error code, error counter,
or status.
or status. A test thread also emits a summary line at completion listing the
number of tests executed, number that failed, and a result code.
Comparison between buffers is stored to the dedicated structure.
Example:
% dmesg | tail -n 1
dmatest: dma0chan0-copy0: summary 1 test, 0 failures 1000 iops 100000 KB/s (0)
Note that the verify result is now accessible only via file 'results' in the
debugfs.
The details of a data miscompare error are also emitted, but do not follow the
above format.
