[RFC v3 3/7] dmaengine: Add dma_chan_is_in_use() function

From: Haavard Skinnemoen
Date: Tue Feb 12 2008 - 11:44:53 EST


This moves the code checking if a DMA channel is in use from
show_in_use() into an inline helper function, dma_is_in_use(). DMA
controllers can use this in order to give clients exclusive access to
channels (usually necessary when setting up slave DMA.)

I have to admit that I don't really understand the channel refcounting
logic at all... dma_chan_get() simply increments a per-cpu value. How
can we be sure that whatever CPU calls dma_chan_is_in_use() sees the
same value?
