v2->v3 Split oom killer patch only. Based on Nishanth's patch, which change ion_debug_heap_total with id. 1. add heap_found 2. Solve the issue about serveral id share one type. Use ion_debug_heap_total(client, heap->id) instead of ion_debug_heap_total(client, heap->type) since id is unique while type can be shared. Fortunately Nishanth has update one patch, so rebase on the patch v1->v2 Sync to Aug 30 common.git v0->v1: 1. move ion_shrink out of mutex, suggested by Nishanth 2. check error flag of ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) 3. add msleep to allow schedule out.

A few questions about the best way to implement RandR 1.4 / PRIME buffer sharing

by Aaron Plattner

So I've been experimenting with support for Dave Airlie's new RandR 1.4 provider object interface, so that Optimus-based laptops can use our driver to drive the discrete GPU and display on the integrated GPU. The good news is that I've got a proof of concept working. During a review of the current code, we came up with a few concerns: 1. The output source is responsible for allocating the shared memory Right now, the X server calls CreatePixmap on the output source screen and then expects the output sink screen to be able to display from whatever memory the source allocates. Right now, the source has no mechanism for asking the sink what its requirements are for the surface. I'm using our own internal pitch alignment requirements and that seems to be good enough for the Intel device to scan out, but that could be pure luck. Does it make sense to add a mechanism for drivers to negotiate this with each other, or is it sufficient to just define a lowest common denominator format and if your hardware can't deal with that format, you just don't get to share buffers? One of my coworkers brought to my attention the fact that Tegra requires a specific pitch alignment, and cannot accommodate larger pitches. If other SoC designs have similar restrictions, we might need to add a handshake mechanism. 2. There's no fallback mechanism if sharing can't be negotiated If RandR fails to share a pixmap with the output sink screen, the whole modeset fails. This means you'll end up not seeing anything on the screen and you'll probably think your computer locked up. Should there be some sort of software copy fallback to ensure that something at least shows up on the display? 3. How should the memory be allocated? In the prototype I threw together, I'm allocating the shared memory using shm_open and then exporting that as a dma-buf file descriptor using an ioctl I added to the kernel, and then importing that memory back into our driver through dma_buf_attach & dma_buf_map_attachment. Does it make sense for user-space programs to be able to export shmfs files like that? Should that interface go in DRM / GEM / PRIME instead? Something else? I'm pretty unfamiliar with this kernel code so any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Aaron P.S. for those unfamiliar with PRIME: Dave Airlie added new support to the X Resize and Rotate extension version 1.4 to support offloading display and rendering to different drivers. PRIME is the DRM implementation in the kernel, layered on top of DMA-BUF, that implements the actual sharing of buffers between drivers. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/randrproto/tree/randrproto.txt?id=ra… http://airlied.livejournal.com/75555.html - update on hotplug server http://airlied.livejournal.com/76078.html - randr 1.5 demo videos ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.

[GIT PULL] DMA-mapping fixes for v3.6

by Marek Szyprowski

Hi Linus, I would like to ask for pulling another set of fixes for ARM dma-mapping subsystem. Commit e9da6e9905e6 replaced custom consistent buffer remapping code with generic vmalloc areas. It however introduced some regressions caused by limited support for allocations in atomic context. This series contains fixes for those regressions. For some subplatforms the default, pre-allocated pool for atomic allocations turned out to be too small, so a function for setting its size has been added. Another set of patches adds support for atomic allocations to IOMMU-aware DMA-mapping implementation. The last part of this pull request contains two fixes for Contiguous Memory Allocator, which relax too strict requirements. The following changes since commit fea7a08acb13524b47711625eebea40a0ede69a0: Linux 3.6-rc3 (2012-08-22 13:29:06 -0700) are available in the git repository at: fixes-for-3.6 for you to fetch changes up to 479ed93a4b98eef03fd8260f7ddc00019221c450: ARM: dma-mapping: IOMMU allocates pages from atomic_pool with GFP_ATOMIC (2012-08-28 21:01:07 +0200) Thanks!

Exporting ion buffer to multiple process from same driver

by Nishanth Peethambaran

Hi, I am trying to export an ion_buffer allocate from kernel space to multiple user-space clients. Eg: Allow multiple process to mmap framebuffer allocated using ion by fb driver. The following is the pseudo-code for that. Is this fine? there a cleaner way to do it? Or is it expected to share buffers across process only by user-space sharing fds using sockets/binder and not directly in kernel. fb driver init/probe: (init process context) ------------------------------------------------- /* Create an ion client and allocate framebuffer */ init_client = ion_client_create(idev,...); init_hdl = ion_alloc(init_client,...); /* Create a global dma_buf instance for the buffer */ fd = ion_share_dma_buf(init_client, init_hdl); // - Inc refcount of ion_buffer // - Create a dma_buf and anon-file for the ion buffer // - Get a free fd and install to anon file g_dma_buf = dma_buf_get(fd); // - Get the dma_buf pointer and inc refcount of anon_file dma_buf_put(g_dma_buf); // - Dec extra refcount of anon_file which happened in prev command put_unused_fd(fd); // - Free up the fd as fd is not exported to user-space here. fb driver exit: (init process context) ------------------------------------------ /* Free the dma_buf reference */ dma_buf_put(g_dma_buf); // - Dec refcount of anon_file. Free the dma_buf and dec refcount of ion_buffer if anon_file refcount = 0 /* Free the framebuffer and destroy the ion client created for init process */ ion_free(init_client, init_hdl); ion_client_destroy(init_client); fb device open: (user process context) ----------------------------------------------- /* Create an ion client for the user process */ p_client = ion_client_create(idev,...); fb device ioctl to import ion handle for the fb: (user process context) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /* Import a ion_handle from the global dma_buf */ fd = dma_buf_fd(g_dmabuf, O_CLOEXEC); // - Get ref to anon file // - Get a free fd and install to anon file p_hdl = ion_import_dma_buf(p_client, fd); // - Inc refcount of ion_buffer // - create a ion_handle for the buffer for this process/client dma_buf_put(g_dmabuf); // - Free the anon file reference taken in first step put_unused_fd(fd); // - Free up the fd as fd is not exported to user-space here. fb device release: (user process context) --------------------------------------------------- /* Destroy the client created */ ion_client_destroy(p_client); - Nishanth Peethambaran

CMA page migration failure due to buffers on bh_lru

by Laura Abbott

Hi, I've been observing a high rate of failures with CMA allocations on my ARM system. I've set up a test case set up with a 56MB CMA region that essentially does the following: total_failures = 0; loop forever: loop_failure = 0; for (i = 0; i < 56; i++) chunk[i] = dma_allocate(&cma_dev, 1MB) if (!chunk[i]) loop_failure = 0 if (loop_failure) total_failures++ loop_failure = 0 for (i = 0; i < 56; i++) dma_free(&cma_dev, chunk[i], 1MB) In the background, I also have a process doing some amount of filesystem activity (adb push/pull since this is an android system). During the course of my investigations I generally get ~8500 loops total and ~450 total failures (i.e. one or more buffers could not be allocated). This is unacceptably high for our use cases. In every case the allocation failure was ultimately due to a migration failure; the pages contained buffers which could not be dropped because the buffers were busy (move_to_new_page -> fallback_migrate_page -> try_to_release_page -> try_to_free_buffers -> drop_buffers -> buffer_busy). In every case, the b_count on the buffer head was always 1. The problem arises because of the LRU lists for buffer heads: __getblk __getblk_slow grow_buffers grow_dev_page find_or_create_page -- create a possibly movable page __find_get_block __find_get_block_slow find_get_page -- return the movable page bh_lru_install get_bh -- buffer head now has a reference The reference taken in bh_lru_install won't be dropped until the bh is evicted from the lru. This means the page cannot be migrated as long as the buffer exists on an LRU list. The real issue is that unless the buffer gets evicted quickly the page can remain non-migratible for long periods of time. This makes CMA regions unusable for long periods of time given that we generally don't want to size CMA regions any larger than necessary ergo any failure will cause a problem. My quick and dirty workaround for testing is to remove the GFP_MOVABLE flag from find_or_create_page but this seems significantly less than optimal. Ideally, it seems like the buffers should be evicted from the LRU when trying to drop (expand on invalid_bh_lru?) but I'm not familiar enough with the code path to know if this is a good approach. Any suggestions/feedback is appreciated. Thanks. Laura -- Sent by an employee of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. The Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of the Code Aurora Forum.
