The name is assigned before this by the above __string(name, dmabuf->name). You really shouldn't be taking any locks in a tracepoint. A tracepoint is a callback, that isn't called most of the time. You could be hiding very hard to find deadlocks by taking a lock in a tracepoint callback. You need to take the lock around the tracepoint call itself where it is called in the code. Not in the TRACE_EVENT. You may need to have something like: @@ -220,6 +223,8 @@ static int dma_buf_mmap_internal(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma) dmabuf->size >> PAGE_SHIFT) return -EINVAL; + if (trace_dma_buf_mmap_internal_enabled()) { + guard(spinlock)(&dmabuf->namelock); + trace_dma_buf_mmap_internal(dmabuf); + } + return dmabuf->ops->mmap(dmabuf, vma); } The "trace_dma_buf_mmap_internal_enabled()" is a static branch, where it is either a nop or a jump to the tracing code. It's not a normal conditional branch. It acts the same as tracepoints themselves do. > + __entry->size = dmabuf->size; > + __entry->ino = dmabuf->file->f_inode->i_ino; > + __entry->f_refcnt = file_count(dmabuf->file); > + ), > + > + TP_printk("exp_name=%s name=%s size=%zu ino=%lu f_refcnt=%ld", > + __get_str(exp_name), > + __get_str(name), > + __entry->size, > + __entry->ino, > + __entry->f_refcnt) > +); Below seems to be a lot of very similar TRACE_EVENT()s. A TRACE_EVENT() is literally defined as: #define TRACE_EVENT(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print) \ DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(name, \ PARAMS(proto), \ PARAMS(args), \ PARAMS(tstruct), \ PARAMS(assign), \ PARAMS(print)); \ DEFINE_EVENT(name, name, PARAMS(proto), PARAMS(args)); That is, it is both a DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and a DEFINE_EVENT(). You can make one DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and use many DEFINE_EVENT()s with it. Each DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() takes up around 4 to 5 kilobytes of memory. Each DEFINE_EVENT() takes around 300 bytes to 1K of memory. The more DEFINE_EVENT()s you use with a single DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(), the more memory you save.

The problem is that you can't guarantee that because you run into deadlocks. As soon as a dma_fence() is created and published by calling add_fence it can be memory management loops back and depends on that fence. So you actually can't issue any new IO which might block the unmap operation. > > sg_table = map_attach() | > move_notify() | > -> add_fence(fence) | > | issue_IO(sg_table) > | // IO completed > unmap_attachment(sg_table) | > signal_fence(fence) | > >> For example once the fence is created you can't make any memory allocations any more, that's why we have this dance of reserving fence slots, creating the fence and then adding it. > > Looks I have some terminology gap here. By "memory allocations" you > don't mean kmalloc, right? I assume it's about new users of the > mapping. kmalloc() as well as get_free_page() is exactly what is meant here. You can't make any memory allocation any more after creating/publishing a dma_fence. The usually flow is the following: 1. Lock dma_resv object 2. Prepare I/O operation, make all memory allocations etc... 3. Allocate dma_fence object 4. Push I/O operation to the HW, making sure that you don't allocate memory any more. 5. Call dma_resv_add_fence(with fence allocate in #3). 6. Unlock dma_resv object If you stride from that you most likely end up in a deadlock sooner or later.

What about the other architectures? HZ is defined as jiffies per second, So even if it changes to 10,100 or 1000 depending on the architecture 2*HZ is always two seconds expressed in jiffies.

Exactly that's the reason why I bring that up. I think that drivers should be in charge of timeouts is the wrong approach. See the reason why we have the timeout (and documented that it is a must have) is because we have both core memory management as well a desktop responsiveness depend on it. > What is even your motivation? What problem does this solve? Is the OOM > killer currently hanging for anyone? Can you link a bug report? I'm not sure if we have an external bug report (we have an internal one), but for amdgpu there were customer complains that 10 seconds is to long. So we changed it to 2 seconds for amdgpu, and now there are complains from internal AMD teams that 2 seconds is to short. While working on that I realized that the timeout is actually not driver dependent at all. What can maybe argued is that a desktop system should have a shorter timeout than some server, but that one driver needs a different timeout than another driver doesn't really makes sense to me. I mean what is actually HW dependent on the requirement that I need a responsive desktop system? >> >> Some AMD internal team is pushing for 10 seconds, but that also means that for example we wait 10 seconds for the OOM killer to do something.

The GPU scheduler has a very similar define, MAX_WAIT_SCHED_ENTITY_Q_EMPTY which is currently just 1 second. The real question is what is the maximum amount of time we can wait for the HW before we should trigger a timeout? Some AMD internal team is pushing for 10 seconds, but that also means that for example we wait 10 seconds for the OOM killer to do something. That sounds like way to long. Regards, Christian. > > P.

Reasonable maximum signaling timeout for dma_fences

by Christian König

Hi everybody, we have documented here https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/dma-buf.html#dma-fence-cr… that dma_fence objects must signal in a reasonable amount of time, but at the same time note that drivers might have a different idea of what reasonable means. Recently I realized that this is actually not a good idea. Background is that the wall clock timeout means that for example the OOM killer might actually wait for this timeout to be able to terminate a process and reclaim the memory used. And this is just an example of how general kernel features might depend on that. Some drivers and fence implementations used 10 seconds and that raised complains by end users. So at least amdgpu recently switched to 2 second which triggered an internal discussion about it. This patch set here now adds a define to the dma_fence header which gives 2 seconds as reasonable amount of time. SW-sync is modified to always taint the kernel (since it doesn't has a timeout), VGEM is switched over to the new define and the scheduler gets a warning and taints the kernel if a driver uses a timeout longer than that. I have not much intention of actually committing the patches (maybe except the SW-sync one), but question is if 2 seconds are reasonable? Regards, Christian.

Can you elaborate on the core > dma-fence dma-buf rules? I most likely mixed that up, in other words that was a different discussion. When you use dma_fences to indicate async completion of events you need to be super duper careful that you only do this for in flight events, have the fence creation in the right order etc... For example once the fence is created you can't make any memory allocations any more, that's why we have this dance of reserving fence slots, creating the fence and then adding it. >> Since I don't see any dma_fence implementation at all that might actually be the case. > > See Patch 5, struct blk_mq_dma_fence.

There is a WIP feature in AMDs GPU driver package for ROCm. But that can't be used as general purpose DMA-buf approach, because it makes use of internal knowledge about how the GPU driver is using the backing store. BTW when you use DMA addresses from DMA-buf always keep in mind that this memory can be written by others at the same time, e.g. you can't do things like compute a CRC first, then write to backing store and finally compare CRC.
