[Query]: What should we do in txd->tx_submit() and device_issue_pending()

[viresh kumar]

Hi Dan/Vinod,

I have one query regarding implementation of few routines in DMA drivers.

What the exact purpose of txd->tx_submit() and device_issue_pending() routines?

Should tx_submit() always start physical transfer (Obviously, if channel is free)?
Or should it just queue requests and then finally a call to device_issue_pending()
must start physical transfers?
