> Hi,
> 
> The following 7 patches enabling fsl-dma and talitos offload raid
> operations for improving raid performance and balancing CPU load.
> 
> Write performance will be improved by 25-30% tested by iozone.
> Write performance is improved about 2% after using spin_lock_bh replace
> spin_lock_irqsave.
> CPU load will be reduced by 8%.
> 
> Changes in V4:
> 	- fix an error in talitos when dest addr is same with src addr,
> dest
> 	should be freed only one time if src is same with dest addr;
> 	- correct coding style in fsl-dma according to Ira's comments;
> 	- fix a race condition in fsl-dma fsl_tx_status(), remove the
> interface
> 	which is used to free descriptors in queue ld_completed, this
> interface
> 	has been included in fsldma_cleanup_descriptor(), in v3, there is
> one
> 	place missed spin_lock protect;
> 	- split the original patch 3/4 up to 2 patches 3/7 and 4/7
> according to
> 	Li Yang's comments.
> 	- fix a warning of unitialized cookie;
> 	- add memory copy self test in fsl-dma;
> 	- add more detail description about use spin_lock_bh() to instead
> of
> 	spin_lock_irqsave() according to Timur's comments;
> 
> Changes in v3:
> 	- change release process of fsl-dma descriptor for resolve the
> 	potential race condition
> 	- add test result when use spin_lock_bh replace spin_lock_irqsave
> 	- modify the benchmark results according to the latest patch
> 
> Changes in v2:
> 	- rebase onto cryptodev tree
> 	- split the patch 3/4 up to 3 independent patches
> 	- remove the patch 4/4, the fix is not for cryptodev tree
