Could you run a test where only a known part of the BAR can be treated
as memory?
A large BAR is likely to have some areas that can be accessed as memory.

Both Tvrtko [1] and I [2] have recently proposed some improvals for
drm_sched.
While taking Tvrtko's feedback into account for my patch, I realized
that both his and my patch can be fully replaced with a bigger and far
more beautiful series.
If I am not mistaken, it turns out that the entire entity->entity_idle
completion is also nothing but a workaround around the grave mistake of
not using the greatest helper with parallel programming that exists in
computer science: Locking.
This series adds locking to the last_scheduled field and all checks
related to detect the idleness of the entity. As before, the
job_scheduled event queue causes the periodic checks.
This way, we can get rid of memory barriers, RCU, a few lines of code,
make things more readable, understandable...
Tested with drm-sched-unit tests. I'm a bit busy right now, but wanted
to show you guys the idea. Before merging I'd test it more exhaustively
with Nouveau.
Greetings,

2.54.0
Several drivers call dma_buf_fd() — which internally calls fd_install()
— before copy_to_user() returns the fd number to userspace. If
copy_to_user() fails, the fd is already published in the caller's fd
table but the ioctl returns an error, so userspace never learns the fd
number. Worse, the window between fd_install() and copy_to_user()
allows other threads to observe and manipulate the fd (dup, close,
SCM_RIGHTS), making any "close it on the failure path" fix unsafe.
The fix is to split the allocation into three steps: reserve an fd with
get_unused_fd_flags() (not yet visible to other threads), do
copy_to_user(), and only then publish the fd with fd_install() via the
new dma_buf_fd_install() helper. On copy_to_user() failure,
put_unused_fd() + dma_buf_put() cleanly unwind with no user-visible
side effects.
Patch 1 introduces dma_buf_fd_install() in dma-buf.c (wrapping
fd_install() together with the DMA_BUF_TRACE call to preserve export
tracing) and applies the fix to dma-heap.
Patch 2 applies the same fix to fastrpc, which even had a comment
acknowledging the problem could not be fixed before.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20260703080922.1838362-1-shoubaineng@gmai…
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20260710105430.3059661-1-shoubaineng@gmai…
Changes in v3:
- Split into two patches (dma-heap + fastrpc separately)
- Add dma_buf_fd_install() to preserve trace_dma_buf_fd tracepoint
(spotted by T.J. Mercier and sashiko-bot on v2)
- Add fastrpc fix using the new helper (suggested by T.J. Mercier)

2.34.1
Changes since v4:
- Fix an uninitialized memory bug for FenceCbRegistration with
ManuallyDrop.
- Return FenceCtx as impl PinInit
- Make FenceCtx return an impl PinInit<T, Error> (Danilo)
- Reformat some comments
- Adjust the docu for rcu_barrier(), so that it matches the C side's
docu and our docu for rcu::synchronize_rcu().
Changes since v3:
- Add a FIXME for an encountered Rust compiler bug. (Gary)
- Add new Rust files also to DRM drivers & common infrastructure
MAINTAINERS file. (Danilo)
- Reposition ECANCELED error code. (Miguel)
- Replace refcounted FenceCtx in DriverFenceData with a reference plus
life time. (Boris)
- Re-add rcu_barrier() patch, since we now can use it for dropping the
fence context. (Danilo)
- Add forgotten R-b from Alice, and Acks for MAINTAINERS from
Christian and Sumit.
Changes since v2:
- Don't drop DriverFenceData as a whole, but only the members we
really want to drop. Gives more robustness. (Gary).
- Break apart large pin_init_from_closure(). (Danilo, Onur)
- Remove rcu_barrier() and synchronize_rcu() from FenceCtx::drop().
FenceCtx might drop in atomic context, where you must not perform
those operations. With the current way C dma_fence is designed, the
driver must wait for a grace period manually until it unloads.
- Repair the DriverFenceBorrow implementation, properly injecting a
life time into it. (Danilo)
- Fix memory layout bug for rcu_head. (Onur)
- Drop RCU patches, since this series doesn't need them anymore.
Changes since v1:
- Remove unnecessary mutable references (Alice)
- Split up unsafe comments where possible (Danilo)
- Remove PhantomData + implement FenceCtx ops trait (Boris)
- Consistently call FenceCtx generic data `T`. FenceDataType is
derived from that. (Boris)
- Add abstractions for call_rcu() and synchronize_rcu() (Danilo)
- Add ECANCELED error code in Rust (Alice)
- Remove the rcu_barrier() from FenceCtx::drop() – because we now use
call_rcu(), there can be no UAF access to the FenceCtx anymore. In
any case, it is illegal to use either call_rcu() or
synchronize_rcu() in FenceCtx::drop(), because our new
drop_driver_fence_data() can run in atomic context and might put the
last fence_ctx reference.
So we now only have to guard against module unload, which it seems
either the driver or Rust driver-core / module unload infrastructure
must solve.
- Minor formatting etc. changes
- Add C helpers to MAINTAINERS. (Danilo)
- Ensure that `Fence::is_signaled()` is fully synchronized, i.e., all
callbacks really have run. See [1] and [2]. (Myself, Christian
König)
Changes since the RFCs:
- Include support for ForeignOwnable for ARef, so that a Fence can be
stuffed into an XArray et al. (Code by Danilo)
- Implement ForeignOwnable (with new borrow type) for DriverFence, so
that it can be stuffed into an XArray.
- Include the rcu::RcuBox data type to defer dropping data with RCU
(Cody by Alice)
- Port DmaFence to RcuBox to make UAF bugs through later, new dma_fence
callbacks (backend_ops) impossible.
- Force users to pass their fence data in an RcuBox (or have it not
need drop()) through a Sealed trait.
- Document the rules for the user's DriverFence::data's drop
implementation very clearly (deadlock danger).
- rustfmt, Clippy.
- Various style suggestions, safety comments, etc. (Önur)
- Add __rust_helper prefix to helper functions. (Önur)
Changes in RFC v3:
- Omit JobQueue patches for now
- Completely redesign the memory layout: Instead of a Fence
refcounting a DriverFence, both now live in the same allocation to
allow for future support the dma_fence backend_ops callbacks which
need to do container_of. (mostly Boris's feedback)
- Allow for pre-allocating fences to avoid deadlocks when submitting
jobs to a GPU. (Boris)
- Simultaneously, allow for pre-preparing fence callback objects, so
the driver can allocate them when it sees fit. (code largely stolen
and inspired by Daniel).
- Signal fences on drop, ensure synchronization.
- Force users to set an error code when signalling.
- Write more documentation
- A ton of minor other changes.

Alright, so since the last RFCs did not reveal significant design
issues, I decided to transition this series to a v1 and hope that we can
get it upstream.
This now includes code for more common infrastructure that dma_fence
needs, contributed by Danilo and Alice.
---
Old cover letter for RFC:
So, this is the spiritual successor of the first / second RFC [1]. v2
also contained code for drm::JobQueue, but mostly to show how the fence
code would be used. JobQueue is under heavy rework right now, so I don't
want to bother your eyes with it. The docstring examples should show how
Rust fences are supposed to be used, though.
This v3 contains a huge amount of highly valuable feedback from a
variety of people, notably Boris, but also from Alice, Gary and Danilo.
There are some TODOs open (a better trait for fence backend_ops and RCU
support), but my hope is that this effort is now finally approaching its
end.
I would greatly appreciate feedback and especially more information
about what might be missing to make this usable, which is obviously
where Daniel's and Boris's feedback will be valuable once more.
Please regard this patch just as what it's titled: an RFC, to discuss a
bit more and to inform a broader community about what the current state
is and where this is heading at.
Many regards,
Philipp

2.54.0
This series adds support for the video protection region (VPR) used on
Tegra SoC devices. It's a special region of memory that is protected
from accesses by the CPU and used to store DRM protected content (both
decrypted stream data as well as decoded video frames).
Patches 1 through 3 add DT binding documentation for the VPR and add the
VPR to the list of memory-region items for display, host1x and NVDEC.
New set_memory_device() and set_memory_normal() helpers are defined in
patch 4 and will subsequently be used to set the memory type of the VPR
to make sure it won't be accessed by the CPU once it's made part of the
protected region.
Patch 5 adds bitmap_allocate(), which is like bitmap_allocate_region()
but works on sizes that are not a power of two.
Patch 6 introduces new APIs needed by the Tegra VPR implementation that
allow CMA areas to be dynamically created at runtime rather than using
the fixed, system-wide list. This is used in this driver specifically
because it can use an arbitrary number of these areas (though they are
currently limited to 4).
Patch 7 adds some infrastructure for DMA heap implementations to provide
information through debugfs.
The Tegra VPR implementation is added in patch 8. See its commit message
for more details about the specifics of this implementation.
Finally, patches 9-11 add the VPR placeholder node on Tegra234 and
Tegra264 and hook it up to the host1x node so that it can make use of
this region.
Changes in v3:
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260122161009.3865888-1-thierry.reding@kernel.org
- introduce set_memory_device() and set_memory_normal()
- rename VPR nodes to "protected"
- add Tegra264 placeholder nodes
Changes in v2:
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20250902154630.4032984-1-thierry.reding@gmail.com
- Tegra VPR implementation is now more optimized to reduce the number of
(very slow) resize operations, and allows cross-chunk allocations
- dynamic CMA areas are now trackd separately from static ones, but the
global number of CMA pages accounts for all areas

The dynamic timeout may be useful for any I2C bus controller, not only
for qcom-geni. Structure i2c_adapter already has field "timeout". Isn't
it worth to move the timeout calculation to i2c-core, so that the core
updates the timeout field in i2c_adapter structure, and the controller
driver just uses this value, instead of duplicating the calculation in
every driver that will use this feature?
Also, such parameters as I2C_TIMEOUT_SAFETY_COEFFICIENT and
I2C_TIMEOUT_MIN_USEC may be configurable by user (for example, in
device tree) for more flexibility.
Best regards,

The patch set allows to register a dmabuf to an io_uring instance for
a specified file and use it with io_uring read / write requests. The
infrastructure is not tied to io_uring and there could be more users
in the future. A similar idea was attempted some years ago by Keith [1],
from where I borrowed a good number of changes, and later was brough up
by Tushar and Vishal from Intel.
It's an opt-in feature for files, and they need to implement a new
file operation to use it. Only NVMe block devices are supported in this
series. The user API is built on top of io_uring's "registered buffers",
where a dmabuf is registered in a special way, but after it can be used
as any other "registered buffer" with IORING_OP_{READ,WRITE}_FIXED
requests. It's created via a new file operation and the resulted map is
then passed through the I/O stack in a new iterator type. There is some
additional infrastructure to bind it all, which also counts requests
using a dmabuf map and managing lifetimes, which is used to implement
map invalidation.
It was tested for GPU <-> NVMe transfers. Also, as it maintains a
long-term dma mapping, it helps with the IOMMU cost. The numbers
below are for udmabuf reads previously run by Anuj for different
IOMMU modes:
- STRICT: before = 570 KIOPS, after = 5.01 MIOPS
- LAZY: before = 1.93 MIOPS, after = 5.01 MIOPS
- PASSTHROUGH: before = 5.01 MIOPS, after = 5.01 MIOPS
There are some liburing tests that can serve as an example:

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/20220805162444.3985535-1-kbusch@fb.com/
v3: - Rework io_uring registration
- Move token/map infrastructure code out of blk-mq
- Simplify callbacks: remove a separate blk-mq table, which was
mostly just forwarding calls (to nvme).
- Don't skip dma sync depending on request direction
- Fix a couple of hangs
- Rename s/dma/dmabuf/
- Other small changes
v2: - Don't pass raw dma addresses, wrap it into a driver specific object
- Split into two objects: token and map
- Implement move_notify

Hi everyone,
dma_fences have ever lived under the tyranny dictated by the module
lifetime of their issuer, leading to crashes should anybody still holding
a reference to a dma_fence when the module of the issuer was unloaded.
The basic problem is that when buffer are shared between drivers
dma_fence objects can leak into external drivers and stay there even
after they are signaled. The dma_resv object for example only lazy releases
dma_fences.
So what happens is that when the module who originally created the dma_fence
unloads the dma_fence_ops function table becomes unavailable as well and so
any attempt to release the fence crashes the system.
Previously various approaches have been discussed, including changing the
locking semantics of the dma_fence callbacks (by me) as well as using the
drm scheduler as intermediate layer (by Sima) to disconnect dma_fences
from their actual users, but none of them are actually solving all problems.
Tvrtko did some really nice prerequisite work by protecting the returned
strings of the dma_fence_ops by RCU. This way dma_fence creators where
able to just wait for an RCU grace period after fence signaling before
they could be save to free those data structures.
Now this patch set here goes a step further and protects the whole
dma_fence_ops structure by RCU, so that after the fence signals the
pointer to the dma_fence_ops is set to NULL when there is no wait nor
release callback given. All functionality which use the dma_fence_ops
reference are put inside an RCU critical section, except for the
deprecated issuer specific wait and of course the optional release
callback.
Additional to the RCU changes the lock protecting the dma_fence state
previously had to be allocated external. This set here now changes the
functionality to make that external lock optional and allows dma_fences
to use an inline lock and be self contained.
v4:
Rebases the whole set on upstream changes, especially the cleanup
from Philip in patch "drm/amdgpu: independence for the amdkfd_fence!".
Adding two patches which brings the DMA-fence self tests up to date.
The first selftest changes removes the mock_wait and so actually starts
testing the default behavior instead of some hacky implementation in the
test. This one got upstreamed independent of this set.
The second drops the mock_fence as well and tests the new RCU and inline
spinlock functionality.
v5:
Rebase on top of drm-misc-next instead of drm-tip, leave out all driver
changes for now since those should go through the driver specific paths
anyway.
Address a few more review comments, especially some rebase mess and
typos. And finally fix one more bug found by AMDs CI system.
v6:
Minor style changes, re-ordered patch #1, dropped the scheduler fence
change for now
Please review and comment,
Christian.
As udmabuf increasingly enjoys popularity - being used in projects like
libcamera, Gstreamer, Mesa and KWin - users more frequently encounter
cases where the current default size limit of 64MB is too low. Examples
include allocating video buffers at a 8K resolution - and even 4K is
affected when using non-subsampled video formats or high bit depths.
While the limit can already be changed via the kernel command line,
exposing it as a kernel config makes that easier and more discoverable
for distros. Thus let's do that.
