From 50c7cd2bd3786258606c6c7c8356064c08ab2383 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxime Ripard Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2015 12:19:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: Add scatter-gathered memset The current API allows the driver to accelerate memset by using the DMA controller. However, it does so over a contiguous memory area, which might proves inefficient when you have to do it over a non-contiguous yet repititive pattern, since you have to create a number of descriptors and then submit each other. Add a memset operation going over a scatter list to handle such cases in a single call.
