[PATCH] docs: dmaengine: add explanation for DMA_ASYNC_TX capability

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Kendra Moore <kendra.j.moore3443@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch replaces the TODO for DMA_ASYNC_TX in the DMA engine
provider documentation. The flag is automatically set by the DMA
framework when a device supports key asynchronous memory-to-memory
operations such as memcpy, memset, xor, pq, xor_val, and pq_val.

It must not be set by drivers directly.
