+Part 5 - Handling channel allocation
+====================================
+
+Allocating Channels
+-------------------
+
+Channels are required to be configured prior to starting the test run.
+Attempting to run the test without configuring the channels will fail.
+
+Example::
+
+    % echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
+    dmatest: Could not start test, no channels configured
+
+Channels are registered using the "channel" parameter. Channels can be requested by their
+name, once requested, the channel is registered and a pending thread is added to the test list.
+
+Example::
+
+    % echo dma0chan2 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan2
+
+More channels can be added by repeating the example above.
+Reading back the channel parameter will return the name of last channel that was added successfully.
+
+Example::
+
+    % echo dma0chan1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan1
+    % echo dma0chan2 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan2
+    % cat /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
+    dma0chan2
+
+Another method of requesting channels is to request a channel with an empty string, Doing so
+will request all channels available to be tested:
+
+Example::
+
+    % echo "" > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan0
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan3
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan4
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan5
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan6
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan7
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan8
+
+At any point during the test configuration, reading the "test_list" parameter will
+print the list of currently pending tests.
+
+Example::
+
+    % cat /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/test_list
+    dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan0
+    dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan3
+    dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan4
+    dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan5
+    dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan6
+    dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan7
+    dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan8
+
+Note: Channels will have to be configured for each test run as channel configurations do not
+carry across to the next test run.
+
+Releasing Channels
+-------------------
+
+Channels can be freed by setting run to 0.
+
+Example::
+    % echo dma0chan1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
+    dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan1
+    % cat /sys/class/dma/dma0chan1/in_use
+    1
+    % echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
+    % cat /sys/class/dma/dma0chan1/in_use
+    0
+
+Channels allocated by previous test runs are automatically freed when a new
+channel is requested after completing a successful test run.
