How about something like this: The fence ops of a dma_fence currently need to life as long as the dma_fence is alive. This means that the module who originally issued a dma_fence can't unload unless all of them are freed up. As first step to solve this issue protect the fence ops by RCU. While it is counter intuitive to protect a constant function pointer table by RCU it allows modules to wait for an RCU grace period to make sure that nobody is executing their functions any more. > >> >> v2: make one the now duplicated lockdep warnings a comment instead. >> v3: Add more documentation to ->wait and ->release callback. >> v4: fix typo in documentation >> v5: rebased on drm-tip >> >> Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig(a)amd.com> >> --- >> drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c | 69 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ >> include/linux/dma-fence.h | 29 ++++++++++++++-- >> 2 files changed, 73 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c b/drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c >> index e05beae6e407..de9bf18be3d4 100644 >> --- a/drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c >> +++ b/drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c >> @@ -522,6 +522,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(dma_fence_signal); >> signed long >> dma_fence_wait_timeout(struct dma_fence *fence, bool intr, signed long timeout) >> { >> + const struct dma_fence_ops *ops; >> signed long ret; >> >> if (WARN_ON(timeout < 0)) >> @@ -533,15 +534,21 @@ dma_fence_wait_timeout(struct dma_fence *fence, bool intr, signed long timeout) >> >> dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling(fence); >> >> - if (trace_dma_fence_wait_start_enabled()) { > > Why can wait_start_enabled() be removed?

They're only used by i915. Actually they are mostly used by the trace points and debugfs, so we certainly can't remove them.

But the check for !ops is added in patch #2 when we actually start to set ops = NULL when the fence signals. I intentionally separated that because it is basically the second step in making the solution to detach the fence ops from the module by RCU work. We could merge the two patches together, but I think the separation actually makes sense should anybody start to complain about the additional RCU overhead.

Well only when you provide a ->signaled() callback in the dma_fence_ops.

Yes, the code would have crashed before if anything than a sync_pt created by sync_pt_create was encountered here.

I believe they handle > memory that is inaccesible to CPU. If that is the only list of options then maybe just the name will work Ok. I *think* CMA and system should be reliably CC private. The protected ones seem to have their own internal definition, and probably can't exist on CC VM systems.. Meaning we don't have any shared things leaking through which would be the point. Jason

So what do the other heap names do? Always private? Do you ever get heaps that are unknowably private or shared (eg MMIO backed?) Jason

Independence for dma_fences! v7

by Christian König

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 v7: The patch adding the dma_fence_was_initialized() function was pushed upstream individually since that is really an independent cleanup. Fixed some missing i915 bits in patch "dma-buf: abstract fence locking". Please review and comment, Christian.

Re: [PATCH 4/5] dma-buf: heaps: allow heap to specify valid heap flags

I'm not really in this space anymore, so take my feedback with a grain of salt. While the heap allocate flags argument is unused, it was intended to be used for generic allocation flags that would apply to all or at least a wide majority of heaps. It was definitely not added to allow for per-heap or heap specific flags (as this patch tries to utilize it). That was the mess we had with ION driver that we were trying to avoid. The intent of dma-buf heaps is to try to abstract all the different device memory constraints so there only needs to be a [usage] -> [heap] mapping, and otherwise userland can be generalized so that it doesn't need to be re-written to work with different devices/memory types. Adding heap-specific allocation flags prevents that generalization. So instead of adding heap specific flags, the general advice has been to add a separate heap name for the flag property. Now, there has been many discussions around "protected buffers" (which doesn't seem to map exactly to this confidental computing primitive, but sounds like it might be related) , which have bounced between being a allocation flag or a device specific heap without much resolution. I appreciate in this patch seires you've pushed your concept down into a DMA_ATTR_, as I do feel the kernel should have a deeper sense of protected buffers (or any general propery like this) as a concept if it is going to be a generic allocation flag, instead of it being a somewhat thin creation of the outer heap-driver layer. But, it seems like the use case here is still far too narrow for a top level allocation flag. So I'd advocate against introducing heap-specific flags like this. thanks -john
