[PATCH v6 0/2] dma-buf: heaps: Create a CMA heap for each CMA reserved region

by Maxime Ripard

Hi, Here's another attempt at supporting user-space allocations from a specific carved-out reserved memory region. The initial problem we were discussing was that I'm currently working on a platform which has a memory layout with ECC enabled. However, enabling the ECC has a number of drawbacks on that platform: lower performance, increased memory usage, etc. So for things like framebuffers, the trade-off isn't great and thus there's a memory region with ECC disabled to allocate from for such use cases. After a suggestion from John, I chose to first start using heap allocations flags to allow for userspace to ask for a particular ECC setup. This is then backed by a new heap type that runs from reserved memory chunks flagged as such, and the existing DT properties to specify the ECC properties. After further discussion, it was considered that flags were not the right solution, and relying on the names of the heaps would be enough to let userspace know the kind of buffer it deals with. Thus, even though the uAPI part of it had been dropped in this second version, we still needed a driver to create heaps out of carved-out memory regions. In addition to the original usecase, a similar driver can be found in BSPs from most vendors, so I believe it would be a useful addition to the kernel. Some extra discussion with Rob Herring [1] came to the conclusion that some specific compatible for this is not great either, and as such an new driver probably isn't called for either. Some other discussions we had with John [2] also dropped some hints that multiple CMA heaps might be a good idea, and some vendors seem to do that too. So here's another attempt that doesn't affect the device tree at all and will just create a heap for every CMA reserved memory region. It also falls nicely into the current plan we have to support cgroups in DRM/KMS and v4l2, which is an additional benefit.

It really depends on the platform, the type of cache, and the size of the buffer. I remember that back in the N900 days a selective cash clean of a large buffer for full resolution images took several dozens of milliseconds, possibly close to 100ms. We had to clean the whole D-cache to make it fast enough, but you can't always do that as Lucas mentioned. > Bracketed access is fine with me. > > Flushing a cache should be an option.

If CPU access is strictly required for your use case, the way forward is to implement V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_MMAP_CACHE_HINT in the capture driver. Very little drivers enable that. Once your driver have that capability, you will be able to set V4L2_MEMORY_FLAG_NON_COHERENT while doing REQBUFS or CREATE_BUFS ioctl. That gives you allocation with CPU cache working, but you'll get the invalidation (or flush) overhead by default. When capture data have not been read by CPU, you can always queue it back with the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE. But for your use case, it seems that you want the invalidation to take place, otherwise your software will endup reading old cache data instead of the next frame data. Please note that the integration in the DMABuf SYNC ioctl was missing for a while, so make sure you have recent enough kernel or get ready for backports. The feature itself was commonly used with CPU only access, notably on ChromeOS using libyuv. No DMABuf was involved initially. regards, Nicolas [0] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/userspace-api/media/v4l/vidioc-reqbu… > > Best regards, > Pavel

If you need to touch the buffers using the CPU then you are either stuck with uncached memory or you need to implement bracketed access to do the necessary cache maintenance. Be aware that completely flushing the cache is not really an option, as that would impact other workloads, so you have to flush the cache by walking the virtual address space of the buffer, which may take a significant amount of CPU time. However, if you are only going to use the buffer with the GPU I see no reason to touch it from the CPU side. Why would you even need to copy the content? After all dma-bufs are meant to enable zero-copy between DMA capable accelerators. You can simply import the V4L2 buffer into a GL texture using EGL_EXT_image_dma_buf_import. Using this path you don't need to bother with the cache at all, as the GPU will directly read the video buffers from RAM.
