tldr; DMA buffers aren't normal memory, expecting that you can use
them like that (like calling get_user_pages works, or that they're
accounting like any other normal memory) cannot be guaranteed.
Since some userspace only runs on integrated devices, where all
buffers are actually all resident system memory, there's a huge
temptation to assume that a struct page is always present and useable
like for any more pagecache backed mmap. This has the potential to
result in a uapi nightmare.
To stop this gap require that DMA buffer mmaps are VM_SPECIAL, which
blocks get_user_pages and all the other struct page based
infrastructure for everyone. In spirit this is the uapi counterpart to
the kernel-internal CONFIG_DMABUF_DEBUG.
Motivated by a recent patch which wanted to swich the system dma-buf
heap to vm_insert_page instead of vm_insert_pfn.

2.30.0
Replace BUG_ON(vma->vm_flags & VM_PFNMAP) in vm_insert_page with
WARN_ON_ONCE and returning an error. This is to ensure users of the
vm_insert_page that set VM_PFNMAP are notified of the wrong flag usage
and get an indication of an error without panicing the kernel.
This will help identifying drivers that need to clear VM_PFNMAP before
using dmabuf system heap which is moving to use vm_insert_page.

Android captures per-process system memory state when certain low memory
events (e.g a foreground app kill) occur, to identify potential memory
hoggers. In order to measure how much memory a process actually consumes,
it is necessary to include the DMA buffer sizes for that process in the
memory accounting. Since the handle to DMA buffers are raw FDs, it is
important to be able to identify which processes have FD references to
a DMA buffer.
Currently, DMA buffer FDs can be accounted using /proc/<pid>/fd/* and
/proc/<pid>/fdinfo -- both are only readable by the process owner,
as follows:
1. Do a readlink on each FD.
2. If the target path begins with "/dmabuf", then the FD is a dmabuf FD.
3. stat the file to get the dmabuf inode number.
4. Read/ proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>, to get the DMA buffer size.
Accessing other processes’ fdinfo requires root privileges. This limits
the use of the interface to debugging environments and is not suitable
for production builds. Granting root privileges even to a system process
increases the attack surface and is highly undesirable.
Since fdinfo doesn't permit reading process memory and manipulating
process state, allow accessing fdinfo under PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCRED.

Currently system heap maps its buffers with VM_PFNMAP flag using
remap_pfn_range. This results in such buffers not being accounted
for in PSS calculations because vm treats this memory as having no
page structs. Without page structs there are no counters representing
how many processes are mapping a page and therefore PSS calculation
is impossible.
Historically, ION driver used to map its buffers as VM_PFNMAP areas
due to memory carveouts that did not have page structs [1]. That
is not the case anymore and it seems there was desire to move away
from remap_pfn_range [2].
Dmabuf system heap design inherits this ION behavior and maps its
pages using remap_pfn_range even though allocated pages are backed
by page structs.
Clear VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP flags when mapping memory allocated by the
system heap and replace remap_pfn_range with vm_insert_page, following
Laura's suggestion in [1]. This would allow correct PSS calculation
for dmabufs.

While the discussion is still fresh I figured good time to try and
document the conclusions a bit.

I'll be away next week, but figured I'll type this up quickly for some
comments and to check whether I got this all roughly right.
Critique very much wanted on this, so that we can make sure hw which
can't preempt (with pagefaults pending) like gfx10 has a clear path to
support page faults in upstream. So anything I missed, got wrong or
like that would be good.

userspace is allowed to use userspace fencing or long running compute
workloads. This also means no implicit fencing for shared buffers in these
cases.
+
+Recoverable Hardware Page Faults Implications
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Modern hardware supports recoverable page faults, which has a lot of
+implications for DMA fences.
+
+First, a pending page fault obviously holds up the work that's running on the
+accelerator and a memory allocation is usually required to resolve the fault.
+But memory allocations are not allowed to gate completion of DMA fences, which
+means any workload using recoverable page faults cannot use DMA fences for
+synchronization. Synchronization fences controlled by userspace must be used
+instead.
+
+On GPUs this poses a problem, because current desktop compositor protocols on
+Linus rely on DMA fences, which means without an entirely new userspace stack
+built on top of userspace fences, they cannot benefit from recoverable page
+faults. The exception is when page faults are only used as migration hints and
+never to on-demand fill a memory request. For now this means recoverable page
+faults on GPUs are limited to pure compute workloads.
+
+Furthermore GPUs usually have shared resources between the 3D rendering and
+compute side, like compute units or command submission engines. If both a 3D
+job with a DMA fence and a compute workload using recoverable page faults are
+pending they could deadlock:
+
+- The 3D workload might need to wait for the compute job to finish and release
+ hardware resources first.
+
+- The compute workload might be stuck in a page fault, because the memory
+ allocation is waiting for the DMA fence of the 3D workload to complete.
+
+There are a few ways to prevent this problem:
+
+- Compute workloads can always be preempted, even when a page fault is pending
+ and not yet repaired. Not all hardware supports this.
+
+- DMA fence workloads and workloads which need page fault handling have
+ independent hardware resources to guarantee forward progress. This could be
+ achieved through e.g. through dedicated engines and minimal compute unit
+ reservations for DMA fence workloads.
+
+- The reservation approach could be further refined by only reserving the
+ hardware resources for DMA fence workloads when they are in-flight. This must
+ cover the time from when the DMA fence is visible to other threads up to
+ moment when fence is completed through dma_fence_signal().
+
+- As a last resort, if the hardware provides no useful reservation mechanics,
+ all workloads must be flushed from the GPU when switching between jobs
+ requiring DMA fences or jobs requiring page fault handling: This means all DMA
+ fences must complete before a compute job with page fault handling can be
+ inserted into the scheduler queue. And vice versa, before a DMA fence can be
+ made visible anywhere in the system, all compute workloads must be preempted
+ to guarantee all pending GPU page faults are flushed.
+
+Note that workloads that run on independent hardware like copy engines or other
+GPUs do not have any impact. This allows us to keep using DMA fences internally
+in the kernel even for resolving hardware page faults, e.g. by using copy
+engines to clear or copy memory needed to resolve the page fault.
+
+In some ways this page fault problem is a special case of the `Infinite DMA
+Fences` discussions: Infinite fences from compute workloads are allowed to
+depend on DMA fences, but not the other way around. And not even the page fault
+problem is new, because some other CPU thread in userspace might
+hit a page fault which holds up a userspace fence - supporting page faults on
+GPUs doesn't anything fundamentally new.

As long as the pinning is refcounted I think it should be fine, it's just
that if you have multiple vmaps (e.g. 2 udl devices plugged in) we'll set
up 2 vmaps. Which is a point pointless, but not really harmful. At least
on 64bit where there's enough virtual address space.

If this would break for amdgpu/radeon/nouveau then we already have a bug,
since 2 udl devices can provoke this issue already as-is. So I don't think
this should be a blocker.
