[PATCH 0/8 v4] ARM: DMA-mapping framework redesign

by Marek Szyprowski

Hello, This is another update on my attempt on DMA-mapping framework redesign for ARM architecture. It includes a few minor changes since last version. We have focused mainly on IOMMU mapper, keeping the DMA-mapping redesign patches almost unchanged. All patches have been now rebased onto v3.2-rc4 kernel + IOMMU/next branch to include latest changes from IOMMU kernel tree. This series also contains support for mapping with pages larger than 4KiB using new, extended IOMMU API. This code has been provided by Andrzej Pietrasiewicz. All the code has been tested on Samsung Exynos4 'UniversalC210' board with IOMMU driver posted by KyongHo Cho. GIT tree will all the patches (including some Samsung Exynos4 stuff): http://git.infradead.org/users/kmpark/linux-samsung/shortlog/refs/heads/3.2… git://git.infradead.org/users/kmpark/linux-samsung 3.2-rc4-dma-v5-samsung History: Initial version of the DMA-mapping redesign patches: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg21241.html Second version of the patches: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-mm-sig/2011-September/000571.html http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-mm-sig/2011-September/000577.html Third version of the patches: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg25490.html TODO: - start the discussion about chaning alloc_coherent into alloc_attrs in dma_map_ops structure. - start the discussion about dma_mmap function - provide documentation for the new dma attributes Best regards -- Marek Szyprowski Samsung Poland R&D Center Patch summary: Marek Szyprowski (8): ARM: dma-mapping: remove offset parameter to prepare for generic dma_ops ARM: dma-mapping: use asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h ARM: dma-mapping: implement dma sg methods on top of any generic dma ops ARM: dma-mapping: move all dma bounce code to separate dma ops structure ARM: dma-mapping: remove redundant code and cleanup common: dma-mapping: change alloc/free_coherent method to more generic alloc/free_attrs ARM: dma-mapping: use alloc, mmap, free from dma_ops ARM: initial proof-of-concept IOMMU mapper for DMA-mapping arch/arm/Kconfig | 9 + arch/arm/common/dmabounce.c | 78 +++- arch/arm/include/asm/device.h | 4 + arch/arm/include/asm/dma-iommu.h | 36 ++ arch/arm/include/asm/dma-mapping.h | 404 +++++------------ arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c | 899 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ arch/arm/mm/vmregion.h | 2 +- include/linux/dma-attrs.h | 1 + include/linux/dma-mapping.h | 13 +- 9 files changed, 994 insertions(+), 452 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/arm/include/asm/dma-iommu.h -- 1.7.1.569.g6f426

Well I think we need to solve outstanding issues in the dma_buf framework first. Currently dma_buf isn't really up to par to handle coherency between the cpu and devices and there's also not yet any way to handle dma address space fragmentation/exhaustion. I fear that if you jump ahead with improving the ttm support alone we might end up with something incompatible to the stuff dma_buf eventually will grow, resulting in decent amounts of wasted efforts. Cc'ed a bunch of relevant lists to foster input from people. For a starter you seem to want much more low-level integration with the dma api than existing users commonly need. E.g. if I understand things correctly drivers just call dma_alloc_coherent and the platform/board code then decides whether the device needs a contigious allocation from cma or whether something else is good, too (e.g. vmalloc for the cpu + iommu). Another thing is that I think doing lru eviction in case of dma address space exhaustion (or fragmentation) needs at least awereness of what's going on in the upper layers. iommus are commonly shared between devices and I presume that two ttm drivers sitting behind the same iommu and fighting over it's resources can lead to some hilarious outcomes.

[PATCHv18 0/11] Contiguous Memory Allocator

by Marek Szyprowski

Welcome everyone last time in 2011! We finally managed to finish (yet) another release of the Contiguous Memory Allocator patches. This version resolves a lot of issues reported in the previous version and improves the reliability of the memory allocation. The most important changes are code cleanup after a review from Mel Gorman, fixing of the anoying bugs (like HIGHMEM crash on ARM) and adding allocation retry procedure in case of temporary migration fail. This version should finally solve all the issues that are a result of changing the migration code base from memory hotplug to memory compaction. ARM integration code has not been changed since last two versions, it provides implementation of all the ideas that has been discussed during Linaro Sprint meeting. Here are the details: This version provides a solution for complete integration of CMA to DMA mapping subsystem on ARM architecture. The issue caused by double dma pages mapping and possible aliasing in coherent memory mapping has been finally resolved, both for GFP_ATOMIC case (allocations comes from coherent memory pool) and non-GFP_ATOMIC case (allocations comes from CMA managed areas). For coherent, nommu, ARMv4 and ARMv5 systems the current DMA-mapping implementation has been kept. For ARMv6+ systems, CMA has been enabled and a special pool of coherent memory for atomic allocations has been created. The size of this pool defaults to DEFAULT_CONSISTEN_DMA_SIZE/8, but can be changed with coherent_pool kernel parameter (if really required). All atomic allocations are served from this pool. I've did a little simplification here, because there is no separate pool for writecombine memory - such requests are also served from coherent pool. I don't think that such simplification is a problem here - I found no driver that use dma_alloc_writecombine with GFP_ATOMIC flags. All non-atomic allocation are served from CMA area. Kernel mapping is updated to reflect required memory attributes changes. This is possible because during early boot, all CMA area are remapped with 4KiB pages in kernel low-memory. This version have been tested on Samsung S5PC110 based Goni machine and Exynos4 UniversalC210 board with various V4L2 multimedia drivers. Coherent atomic allocations has been tested by manually enabling the dma bounce for the s3c-sdhci device. All patches are prepared for Linux Kernel v3.2-rc7. A few words for these who see CMA for the first time: The Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) makes it possible for device drivers to allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted. The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA allows to transparently reuse memory region reserved for the big chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the framework will migrate system pages to create a required big chunk of physically contiguous memory. For more information you can refer to nice LWN articles: http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/ and http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/ as well as links to previous versions of the CMA framework. The CMA framework has been initially developed by Michal Nazarewicz at Samsung Poland R&D Center. Since version 9, I've taken over the development, because Michal has left the company. TODO (optional): - implement support for contiguous memory areas placed in HIGHMEM zone - resolve issue with movable pages with pending io operations I would also like to with everyone a Happy New Year! See You again in 2012!

Addressed comments and suggestions from Mel Godman related to changes in memory compaction code, most important points: - removed "mm: page_alloc: handle MIGRATE_ISOLATE in free_pcppages_bulk()" and moved all the logic to set_migratetype_isolate - see "mm: page_alloc: set_migratetype_isolate: drain PCP prior to isolating" patch - code in "mm: compaction: introduce isolate_{free,migrate}pages_range()" patch have been simplified and improved - removed "mm: mmzone: introduce zone_pfn_same_memmap()" patch 2. Fixed crash on initialization if HIGHMEM is available on ARM platforms 3. Fixed problems with allocation of contiguous memory if all free pages are occupied by page cache and reclaim is required. 4. Added a workaround for temporary migration failures (now CMA tries to allocate different memory block in such case), what heavily increased reliability of the CMA. 5. Minor cleanup here and there. 6. Rebased onto v3.2-rc7 kernel tree. v17: 1. Replaced whole CMA core memory migration code to the new one kindly provided by Michal Nazarewicz. The new code is based on memory compaction framework not the memory hotplug, like it was before. This change has been suggested by Mel Godman. 2. Addressed most of the comments from Andrew Morton and Mel Gorman in the rest of the CMA code. 3. Fixed broken initialization on ARM systems with DMA zone enabled. 4. Rebased onto v3.2-rc2 kernel. v16: 1. merged a fixup from Michal Nazarewicz to address comments from Dave Hansen about checking if pfns belong to the same memory zone 2. merged a fix from Michal Nazarewicz for incorrect handling of pages which belong to page block that is in MIGRATE_ISOLATE state, in very rare cases the migrate type of page block might have been changed from MIGRATE_CMA to MIGRATE_MOVABLE because of this bug 3. moved some common code to include/asm-generic 4. added support for x86 DMA-mapping framework for pci-dma hardware, CMA can be now even more widely tested on KVM/QEMU and a lot of common x86 boxes 5. rebased onto next-20111005 kernel tree, which includes changes in ARM DMA-mapping subsystem (CONSISTENT_DMA_SIZE removal) 6. removed patch for CMA s5p-fimc device private regions (served only as example) and provided the one that matches real life case - s5p-mfc device v15: 1. fixed calculation of the total memory after activating CMA area (was broken from v12) 2. more code cleanup in drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c 3. added address limit for default CMA area 4. rewrote ARM DMA integration: - removed "ARM: DMA: steal memory for DMA coherent mappings" patch - kept current DMA mapping implementation for coherent, nommu and ARMv4/ARMv5 systems - enabled CMA for all ARMv6+ systems - added separate, small pool for coherent atomic allocations, defaults to CONSISTENT_DMA_SIZE/8, but can be changed with kernel parameter coherent_pool=[size] v14: 1. Merged with "ARM: DMA: steal memory for DMA coherent mappings" patch, added support for GFP_ATOMIC allocations. 2. Added checks for NULL device pointer v13: (internal, intentionally not released) v12: 1. Fixed 2 nasty bugs in dma-contiguous allocator: - alignment argument was not passed correctly - range for dma_release_from_contiguous was not checked correctly 2. Added support for architecture specfic dma_contiguous_early_fixup() function 3. CMA and DMA-mapping integration for ARM architechture has been rewritten to take care of the memory aliasing issue that might happen for newer ARM CPUs (mapping of the same pages with different cache attributes is forbidden). TODO: add support for GFP_ATOMIC allocations basing on the "ARM: DMA: steal memory for DMA coherent mappings" patch and implement support for contiguous memory areas that are placed in HIGHMEM zone v11: 1. Removed genalloc usage and replaced it with direct calls to bitmap_* functions, dropped patches that are not needed anymore (genalloc extensions) 2. Moved all contiguous area management code from mm/cma.c to drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c 3. Renamed cm_alloc/free to dma_alloc/release_from_contiguous 4. Introduced global, system wide (default) contiguous area configured with kernel config and kernel cmdline parameters 5. Simplified initialization to just one function: dma_declare_contiguous() 6. Added example of device private memory contiguous area v10: 1. Rebased onto 3.0-rc2 and resolved all conflicts 2. Simplified CMA to be just a pure memory allocator, for use with platfrom/bus specific subsystems, like dma-mapping. Removed all device specific functions are calls. 3. Integrated with ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. 4. Code cleanup here and there. 5. Removed private context support. v9: 1. Rebased onto 2.6.39-rc1 and resolved all conflicts 2. Fixed a bunch of nasty bugs that happened when the allocation failed (mainly kernel oops due to NULL ptr dereference). 3. Introduced testing code: cma-regions compatibility layer and videobuf2-cma memory allocator module. v8: 1. The alloc_contig_range() function has now been separated from CMA and put in page_allocator.c. This function tries to migrate all LRU pages in specified range and then allocate the range using alloc_contig_freed_pages(). 2. Support for MIGRATE_CMA has been separated from the CMA code. I have not tested if CMA works with ZONE_MOVABLE but I see no reasons why it shouldn't. 3. I have added a @private argument when creating CMA contexts so that one can reserve memory and not share it with the rest of the system. This way, CMA acts only as allocation algorithm. v7: 1. A lot of functionality that handled driver->allocator_context mapping has been removed from the patchset. This is not to say that this code is not needed, it's just not worth posting everything in one patchset. Currently, CMA is "just" an allocator. It uses it's own migratetype (MIGRATE_CMA) for defining ranges of pageblokcs which behave just like ZONE_MOVABLE but dispite the latter can be put in arbitrary places. 2. The migration code that was introduced in the previous version actually started working. v6: 1. Most importantly, v6 introduces support for memory migration. The implementation is not yet complete though. Migration support means that when CMA is not using memory reserved for it, page allocator can allocate pages from it. When CMA wants to use the memory, the pages have to be moved and/or evicted as to make room for CMA. To make it possible it must be guaranteed that only movable and reclaimable pages are allocated in CMA controlled regions. This is done by introducing a MIGRATE_CMA migrate type that guarantees exactly that. Some of the migration code is "borrowed" from Kamezawa Hiroyuki's alloc_contig_pages() implementation. The main difference is that thanks to MIGRATE_CMA migrate type CMA assumes that memory controlled by CMA are is always movable or reclaimable so that it makes allocation decisions regardless of the whether some pages are actually allocated and migrates them if needed. The most interesting patches from the patchset that implement the functionality are: 09/13: mm: alloc_contig_free_pages() added 10/13: mm: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added 11/13: mm: MIGRATE_CMA isolation functions added 12/13: mm: cma: Migration support added [wip] Currently, kernel panics in some situations which I am trying to investigate. 2. cma_pin() and cma_unpin() functions has been added (after a conversation with Johan Mossberg). The idea is that whenever hardware does not use the memory (no transaction is on) the chunk can be moved around. This would allow defragmentation to be implemented if desired. No defragmentation algorithm is provided at this time. 3. Sysfs support has been replaced with debugfs. I always felt unsure about the sysfs interface and when Greg KH pointed it out I finally got to rewrite it to debugfs. v5: (intentionally left out as CMA v5 was identical to CMA v4) v4: 1. The "asterisk" flag has been removed in favour of requiring that platform will provide a "*=<regions>" rule in the map attribute. 2. The terminology has been changed slightly renaming "kind" to "type" of memory. In the previous revisions, the documentation indicated that device drivers define memory kinds and now, v3: 1. The command line parameters have been removed (and moved to a separate patch, the fourth one). As a consequence, the cma_set_defaults() function has been changed -- it no longer accepts a string with list of regions but an array of regions. 2. The "asterisk" attribute has been removed. Now, each region has an "asterisk" flag which lets one specify whether this region should by considered "asterisk" region. 3. SysFS support has been moved to a separate patch (the third one in the series) and now also includes list of regions. v2: 1. The "cma_map" command line have been removed. In exchange, a SysFS entry has been created under kernel/mm/contiguous. The intended way of specifying the attributes is a cma_set_defaults() function called by platform initialisation code. "regions" attribute (the string specified by "cma" command line parameter) can be overwritten with command line parameter; the other attributes can be changed during run-time using the SysFS entries. 2. The behaviour of the "map" attribute has been modified slightly. Currently, if no rule matches given device it is assigned regions specified by the "asterisk" attribute. It is by default built from the region names given in "regions" attribute. 3. Devices can register private regions as well as regions that can be shared but are not reserved using standard CMA mechanisms. A private region has no name and can be accessed only by devices that have the pointer to it. 4. The way allocators are registered has changed. Currently, a cma_allocator_register() function is used for that purpose. Moreover, allocators are attached to regions the first time memory is registered from the region or when allocator is registered which means that allocators can be dynamic modules that are loaded after the kernel booted (of course, it won't be possible to allocate a chunk of memory from a region if allocator is not loaded). 5.

[RFC v2 0/2] Introduce DMA buffer sharing mechanism

by Sumit Semwal

Hello Everyone, This is RFC v2 for DMA buffer sharing mechanism - changes from v1 are in the changelog below. Various subsystems - V4L2, GPU-accessors, DRI to name a few - have felt the need to have a common mechanism to share memory buffers across different devices - ARM, video hardware, GPU. This need comes forth from a variety of use cases including cameras, image processing, video recorders, sound processing, DMA engines, GPU and display buffers, and others. This RFC is an attempt to define such a buffer sharing mechanism- it is the result of discussions from a couple of memory-management mini-summits held by Linaro to understand and address common needs around memory management. [1] A new dma_buf buffer object is added, with operations and API to allow easy sharing of this buffer object across devices. The framework allows: - a new buffer-object to be created with fixed size. - different devices to 'attach' themselves to this buffer, to facilitate backing storage negotiation, using dma_buf_attach() API. - association of a file pointer with each user-buffer and associated allocator-defined operations on that buffer. This operation is called the 'export' operation. - this exported buffer-object to be shared with the other entity by asking for its 'file-descriptor (fd)', and sharing the fd across. - a received fd to get the buffer object back, where it can be accessed using the associated exporter-defined operations. - the exporter and user to share the scatterlist using map_dma_buf and unmap_dma_buf operations. Documentation present in the patch-set gives more details. This is based on design suggestions from many people at the mini-summits, most notably from Arnd Bergmann <arnd(a)arndb.de>, Rob Clark <rob(a)ti.com> and Daniel Vetter <daniel(a)ffwll.ch>. The implementation is inspired from proof-of-concept patch-set from Tomasz Stanislawski <t.stanislaws(a)samsung.com>, who demonstrated buffer sharing between two v4l2 devices.

[PATCH] cma: fix limit adjustment in dma_declare_contiguous()
