FSL DMA engine transfer to PCI memory

[Felix Radensky]

Hi,

I'm trying to use FSL DMA engine to perform DMA transfer from
memory buffer obtained by kmalloc() to PCI memory. This is on
custom board based on P2020 running linux-2.6.35. The PCI
device is Altera FPGA, connected directly to SoC PCI-E controller.

I can successfully writel() to PCI memory via address obtained from 
pci_ioremap_bar().
Here's my DMA transfer routine

static int dma_transfer(struct dma_chan *chan, void *dst, void *src, 
size_t len)
{
     int rc = 0;
     dma_addr_t dma_src;
     dma_addr_t dma_dst;
     dma_cookie_t cookie;
     struct completion cmp;
     enum dma_status status;
     enum dma_ctrl_flags flags = 0;
     struct dma_device *dev = chan->device;
     struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = NULL;
     unsigned long tmo = msecs_to_jiffies(FPGA_DMA_TIMEOUT_MS);

     dma_src = dma_map_single(dev->dev, src, len, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
     if (dma_mapping_error(dev->dev, dma_src)) {
         printk(KERN_ERR "Failed to map src for DMA\n");
         return -EIO;
     }

     dma_dst = (dma_addr_t)dst;

     flags = DMA_CTRL_ACK |
         DMA_COMPL_SRC_UNMAP_SINGLE  |
         DMA_COMPL_SKIP_DEST_UNMAP |
         DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT;

     tx = dev->device_prep_dma_memcpy(chan, dma_dst, dma_src, len, flags);
     if (!tx) {
         printk(KERN_ERR "%s: Failed to prepare DMA transfer\n",
                __FUNCTION__);
         dma_unmap_single(dev->dev, dma_src, len, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
         return -ENOMEM;
     }

     init_completion(&cmp);
     tx->callback = dma_callback;
     tx->callback_param = &cmp;
     cookie = tx->tx_submit(tx);

     if (dma_submit_error(cookie)) {
         printk(KERN_ERR "%s: Failed to start DMA transfer\n",
                __FUNCTION__);
         return -ENOMEM;
     }

     dma_async_issue_pending(chan);

     tmo = wait_for_completion_timeout(&cmp, tmo);
     status = dma_async_is_tx_complete(chan, cookie, NULL, NULL);

     if (tmo == 0) {
         printk(KERN_ERR "%s: Transfer timed out\n", __FUNCTION__);
         rc = -ETIMEDOUT;
     } else if (status != DMA_SUCCESS) {
         printk(KERN_ERR "%s: Transfer failed: status is %s\n",
                __FUNCTION__,
                status == DMA_ERROR ? "error" : "in progress");

         dev->device_control(chan, DMA_TERMINATE_ALL, 0);
         rc = -EIO;
     }

     return rc;
}

The destination address is PCI memory address returned by 
pci_ioremap_bar().
The transfer silently fails, destination buffer doesn't change 
contents, but no
error condition is reported.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Felix.
