Merge tag 'pinctrl-v7.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrlgrafted
Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"Core changes:
- Use the non-blocking mux_state_try_select() in the generic MUX pin
control back-end
- Free pin maps on pinctrl_generic_to_map() failure in the core
helpers
New hardware pin control:
- Qualcomm Maili TLMM SoC, PMG1110 PMIC, and Eliza LPASS LPI TLMM SoC
(this is for the low power audio, LPASS = Low Power Audio SubSystem
portions)
- Upboard support on top of the Intel pin controller
- Apple T6030 and T6031 support (just compatible strings)
- Samsung Exynos 8855 SoC
- Mediatek MT6858 SoC
- Rockchip RK3308B and RV1106 SoCs
- Airoha EN7523 and AN7563 SoCs
Improvements:
- Qualcomm TLMM GPIOs are unconditionally marked as wakeup capable
- Qualcomm improvements on top of the Qualcomm PDC (power domain
controller) irqchip improvements from tglx:s tree
- Qualcomm IPQ806x and IPQ9650 non-urgent pin grop fixups
- The NPCM8xx driver has been put into shape fixing many pin and
group definitions
- Some non-urgent Tegra 264 pin assignments are fixed up
- Some non-urgent fixups to Airoha AN7581 and AN7583 registers and
pin assignments, missing features etc"

It is used by dm-snapshot and dm-mirror. + +Users of kcopyd must first create a client and indicate how many memory pages +to set aside for their copy jobs. This is done with a call to +kcopyd_client_create():: + + int kcopyd_client_create(unsigned int num_pages, + struct kcopyd_client **result); + +To start a copy job, the user must set up io_region structures to describe +the source and destinations of the copy. Each io_region indicates a +block-device along with the starting sector and size of the region. The source +of the copy is given as one io_region structure, and the destinations of the +copy are given as an array of io_region structures:: + + struct io_region { + struct block_device *bdev; + sector_t sector; + sector_t count; + }; + +To start the copy, the user calls kcopyd_copy(), passing in the client +pointer, pointers to the source and destination io_regions, the name of a +completion callback routine, and a pointer to some context data for the copy:: + + int kcopyd_copy(struct kcopyd_client *kc, struct io_region *from, + unsigned int num_dests, struct io_region *dests, + unsigned int flags, kcopyd_notify_fn fn, void *context); + + typedef void (*kcopyd_notify_fn)(int read_err, unsigned int write_err, + void *context); + +When the copy completes, kcopyd will call the user's completion routine, +passing back the user's context pointer. It will also indicate if a read or +write error occurred during the copy. + +When a user is done with all their copy jobs, they should call +kcopyd_client_destroy() to delete the kcopyd client, which will release the +associated memory pages:: + + void kcopyd_client_destroy(struct kcopyd_client *kc); |
