Help me out here; if you pass a u32 for a u64, doesn't the C standard guarantee that the higher, unused 32 bits will be 0? Because the only thing the flag still does is do this lower_32 check in fence_is_later.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17] drm/xe: improve dma-resv handling for backup object

by Sasha Levin

From: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld(a)intel.com> [ Upstream commit edb1745fc618ba8ef63a45ce3ae60de1bdf29231 ] Since the dma-resv is shared we don't need to reserve and add a fence slot fence twice, plus no need to loop through the dependencies. Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld(a)intel.com> Cc: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom(a)linux.intel.com> Cc: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost(a)intel.com> Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cavitt <jonathan.cavitt(a)intel.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom(a)linux.intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250829164715.720735-2-matthew.auld@intel.com Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus: YES Explanation - What it fixes - Removes redundant dma-resv operations when a backup BO shares the same reservation object as the original BO, preventing the same fence from being reserved/added twice to the same `dma_resv`. - Avoids scanning the same dependency set twice when source and destination BOs share the same `dma_resv`. - Why the change is correct - The backup object is created to share the parent’s reservation object, so a single reserve/add is sufficient: - The backup BO is initialized with the parent’s resv: `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:1309` (`xe_bo_init_locked(..., bo->ttm.base.resv, ...)`), ensuring `bo->ttm.base.resv == backup->ttm.base.resv`. - The patch adds an explicit invariant check to document and enforce this: `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:1225` (`xe_assert(xe, bo->ttm.base.resv == backup->ttm.base.resv)`). - With shared `dma_resv`, adding the same fence twice is at best redundant (wasting fence slots and memory) and at worst error-prone. Reserving fence slots only once and adding the fence once is the correct behavior. - Specific code changes and effects - Evict path (GPU migration copy case): - Before: reserves and adds fence on both `bo->ttm.base.resv` and `backup->ttm.base.resv`. - After: reserves and adds exactly once, guarded by the shared-resv assertion. - See single reserve and add: `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:1226` (reserve) and `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:1237` (add fence). This is the core fix; the removed second reserve/add on the backup is the redundant part eliminated. - Restore path (migration copy back): - Same simplification: reserve once, add once on the shared `dma_resv`. - See single reserve and add: `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:1375` (reserve) and `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:1387` (add fence). - Dependency handling in migrate: - Before: added deps for both src and dst based only on `src_bo != dst_bo`. - After: only add dst deps if the resv objects differ, avoiding double-walking the same `dma_resv`. - See updated condition: `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c:932` (`src_bo->ttm.base.resv != dst_bo->ttm.base.resv`). - User-visible impact without the patch - Duplicate `dma_resv_add_fence()` calls on the same reservation object can: - Consume extra shared-fence slots and memory. - Inflate dependency lists, causing unnecessary scheduler waits and overhead. - Increase failure likelihood of `dma_resv_reserve_fences()` under memory pressure. - These paths are exercised during suspend/resume flows of pinned VRAM BOs (evict/restore), so reliability and performance in power transitions can be affected. - Scope and risk - Small, focused changes localized to the Intel Xe driver migration/evict/restore paths: - Files: `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c`, `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c`. - No API changes or architectural refactors; logic strictly reduces redundant operations. - The `xe_assert` acts as a safety net to catch unexpected non-shared `resv` usage; normal runtime behavior is unchanged when the invariant holds. - The CPU copy fallback paths are untouched. - Stable backport considerations - This is a clear correctness and robustness fix, not a feature. - Low regression risk if the stable branch also creates the backup BO with the parent’s `dma_resv` (as shown by the use of `xe_bo_init_locked(..., bo->ttm.base.resv, ...)` in `drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:1309`). - If a stable branch diverges and the backup BO does not share the resv, this patch would need adjustment (i.e., keep dual reserve/add in that case). The added `xe_assert` helps surface such mismatches during testing. Conclusion: This commit fixes a real bug (duplicate fence reserve/add and duplicate dependency scanning on a shared `dma_resv`) with a minimal, well-scoped change. It aligns with stable rules (important bugfix, low risk, contained), so it should be backported. drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c | 13 +------------ drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c index d07e23eb1a54d..5a61441d68af5 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c @@ -1242,14 +1242,11 @@ int xe_bo_evict_pinned(struct xe_bo *bo) else migrate = mem_type_to_migrate(xe, bo->ttm.resource->mem_type); + xe_assert(xe, bo->ttm.base.resv == backup->ttm.base.resv); ret = dma_resv_reserve_fences(bo->ttm.base.resv, 1); if (ret) goto out_backup; - ret = dma_resv_reserve_fences(backup->ttm.base.resv, 1); - if (ret) - goto out_backup; - fence = xe_migrate_copy(migrate, bo, backup, bo->ttm.resource, backup->ttm.resource, false); if (IS_ERR(fence)) { @@ -1259,8 +1256,6 @@ int xe_bo_evict_pinned(struct xe_bo *bo) dma_resv_add_fence(bo->ttm.base.resv, fence, DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL); - dma_resv_add_fence(backup->ttm.base.resv, fence, - DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL); dma_fence_put(fence); } else { ret = xe_bo_vmap(backup); @@ -1338,10 +1333,6 @@ int xe_bo_restore_pinned(struct xe_bo *bo) if (ret) goto out_unlock_bo; - ret = dma_resv_reserve_fences(backup->ttm.base.resv, 1); - if (ret) - goto out_unlock_bo; - fence = xe_migrate_copy(migrate, backup, bo, backup->ttm.resource, bo->ttm.resource, false); @@ -1352,8 +1343,6 @@ int xe_bo_restore_pinned(struct xe_bo *bo) dma_resv_add_fence(bo->ttm.base.resv, fence, DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL); - dma_resv_add_fence(backup->ttm.base.resv, fence, - DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL); dma_fence_put(fence); } else { ret = xe_bo_vmap(backup); diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c index 2a627ed64b8f8..ba9b8590eccb2 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c @@ -901,7 +901,7 @@ struct dma_fence *xe_migrate_copy(struct xe_migrate *m, if (!fence) { err = xe_sched_job_add_deps(job, src_bo->ttm.base.resv, DMA_RESV_USAGE_BOOKKEEP); - if (!err && src_bo != dst_bo) + if (!err && src_bo->ttm.base.resv != dst_bo->ttm.base.resv) err = xe_sched_job_add_deps(job, dst_bo->ttm.base.resv, DMA_RESV_USAGE_BOOKKEEP); if (err) -- 2.51.0

[PATCH v6 0/2] accel: Add Arm Ethos-U NPU

by Rob Herring (Arm)

The Arm Ethos-U65/85 NPUs are designed for edge AI inference applications[0]. The driver works with Mesa Teflon. The Ethos support was merged on 10/15. The UAPI should also be compatible with the downstream (open source) driver stack[2] and Vela compiler though that has not been implemented. Testing so far has been on i.MX93 boards with Ethos-U65 and a FVP model with Ethos-U85. More work is needed in mesa for handling U85 command stream differences, but that doesn't affect the UAPI. A git tree is here[3].

[PATCH v8 0/5] dma-buf: heaps: Create a CMA heap for each CMA reserved region

by Maxime Ripard

Hi, Here's another attempt at supporting user-space allocations from a specific carved-out reserved memory region. The initial problem we were discussing was that I'm currently working on a platform which has a memory layout with ECC enabled. However, enabling the ECC has a number of drawbacks on that platform: lower performance, increased memory usage, etc. So for things like framebuffers, the trade-off isn't great and thus there's a memory region with ECC disabled to allocate from for such use cases. After a suggestion from John, I chose to first start using heap allocations flags to allow for userspace to ask for a particular ECC setup. This is then backed by a new heap type that runs from reserved memory chunks flagged as such, and the existing DT properties to specify the ECC properties. After further discussion, it was considered that flags were not the right solution, and relying on the names of the heaps would be enough to let userspace know the kind of buffer it deals with. Thus, even though the uAPI part of it had been dropped in this second version, we still needed a driver to create heaps out of carved-out memory regions. In addition to the original usecase, a similar driver can be found in BSPs from most vendors, so I believe it would be a useful addition to the kernel. Some extra discussion with Rob Herring [1] came to the conclusion that some specific compatible for this is not great either, and as such an new driver probably isn't called for either. Some other discussions we had with John [2] also dropped some hints that multiple CMA heaps might be a good idea, and some vendors seem to do that too. So here's another attempt that doesn't affect the device tree at all and will just create a heap for every CMA reserved memory region. It also falls nicely into the current plan we have to support cgroups in DRM/KMS and v4l2, which is an additional benefit.
