[PATCH v4 0/8] dma-buf: heaps: Turn heaps into modules

by Maxime Ripard

Hi, The recent introduction of heaps in the optee driver [1] made possible the creation of heaps as modules. It's generally a good idea if possible, including for the already existing system and CMA heaps. The system one is pretty trivial, the CMA one is a bit more involved, especially since we have a call from kernel/dma/contiguous.c to the CMA heap code. This was solved by turning the logic around and making the CMA heap call into the contiguous DMA code.

[PATCH v2] dma/contiguous: Fix broken build

by Maxime Ripard

Commit 3a236f6a5cf2 ("dma: contiguous: Turn heap registration logic around") didn't remove one last call to dma_heap_cma_register_heap() that it removed, thus breaking the build. That last call is in dma_contiguous_reserve(), to handle the registration of the default CMA region heap instance. The default CMA region instance is already somewhat handled by retrieving it through the dev_get_cma_area() call in the CMA heap driver. However, since commit 854acbe75ff4 ("dma-buf: heaps: Give default CMA heap a fixed name"), we will create two heap instances for the CMA default region. The first one is always called "default_cma_region", and is the one handled by the call to dev_get_cma_area() mentioned earlier. The second one is the name it used to have prior to that last commit for backward compatibility. In the case where the default CMA region is defined in the DT, then that region is registered through rmem_cma_setup() and that region is added to the list of CMA regions to create a CMA heap instance for. In the case where the default CMA region is not defined in the DT though used to be the case covered by the now removed dma_heap_cma_register_heap() in dma_contiguous_reserve(). If we only remove the call to dma_heap_cma_register_heap(), then the legacy name of the CMA heap will not be registered anymore. We thus need to replace that call with a call to rmem_cma_insert_area() to make sure we queue this instance, if created, to create a heap instance. Once that call to dma_heap_cma_register_heap() replaced, we can also remove the now unused function definition, its now empty header, and all includes of this header.

When pfence changed, need to transfer the reference from the original fence to the new fence. That is why it releases the reference for the original fence in the end. Yeah exactly that. We have documented the behavior in the kerneldoc: * Advance the fence pointer to the chain node which will signal this sequence * number. But that is somehow not enough.
