I'm sorry for previous email content without greeting.
A bit more description… We are working on enabling RDMA over PCIe NTB on
OpenPOWER using https://github.com/ntrdma project. During initialization
dma_request_channel() founds no available channels. We also found that there no
channels at all in dma_device_list. This is probably powerpc specific problem.
Could someone explain if that is hardware limitation or arch specific part
should be changed?
Ben, a while ago you answered regarding DMA master on POWER8, may be you have
idea here also?
Thank you in advance!

We're trying to use Slave-DMA API of the DMA Engine in the linux kernel on
POWER8 OpenPOWER platform. And we discovered that dma_request_channel() always
fails.
Does it mean that Turismo hardware does not support Slave-DMA? Or DMA
subsystem in the linux kernel needs to be fixed, doesn't it?
