[RFC] ARM: dma-mapping: outer cache is invalidated twice

by Per Forlin

Hi, My question concerns this patch -------- commit 2ffe2da3e71652d4f4cae19539b5c78c2a239136 Author: Russell King <rmk+kernel(a)arm.linux.org.uk> Date: Sat Oct 31 16:52:16 2009 +0000 ARMv6 and ARMv7 CPUs can perform speculative prefetching, which makes DMA cache coherency handling slightly more interesting. Rather than being able to rely upon the CPU not accessing the DMA buffer until DMA has completed, we now must expect that the cache could be loaded with possibly stale data from the DMA buffer. Where DMA involves data being transferred to the device, we clean the cache before handing it over for DMA, otherwise we invalidate the buffer to get rid of potential writebacks. On DMA Completion, if data was transferred from the device, we invalidate the buffer to get rid of any stale speculative prefetches. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel(a)arm.linux.org.uk> Tested-By: Santosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar(a)ti.com> --------- file: arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c > void ___dma_page_cpu_to_dev(struct page *page, unsigned long off, > size_t size, enum dma_data_direction dir) > { > ... > if (dir == DMA_FROM_DEVICE) { > outer_inv_range(paddr, paddr + size); > ... > } > EXPORT_SYMBOL(___dma_page_cpu_to_dev); > > void ___dma_page_dev_to_cpu(struct page *page, unsigned long off, > size_t size, enum dma_data_direction dir) > { > ... > if (dir != DMA_TO_DEVICE) > outer_inv_range(paddr, paddr + size); > ... > } outer_inv_range () is called twice for DMA_FROM_DEVICE. The first time to "get rid of potential writebacks" and the second time to "get rid of any stale speculative prefetches" outer_inv_range() is a rather expensive operation. In the first case isn't it enough to just call cache_sync()?

Dispatcher server part will get the return value of the test case and the serial port log, then create test result together with some info from job message, client dispatcher test logs. I think server dispatcher can fetch the client test logs initiatively after client dispatcher ends. If there is no result from the client, after timeout, 1. server dispatcher send some "Ctrl+C" to client dispatcher to end it. 2. then restart the client dispatcher. 3. try to get the client dispatcher remained test logs. 4. mark the test case to TIMEOUT and create the test result. PS. If step 1 can not end the client dispatcher, it may need a reboot for server dispatcher have lost the control of serial line. Test result bundle composed of every test case result, for each test case result, it includes: - LOG casename:Test case name testsuite:Test suite name testcmd:Test case Command timeout:Timeout retvalue:Return value version:kernel version(by "cat /proc/version") seriallog: serial port log ENDLOG e.g. - LOG casename:PERF001 testsuite:abrek testcmd:x11perf timeout:60000 retvalue:0 version:2.6.35-xxxx seriallog: xxx xxx xxx ENDLOG And a test result bundle: LOG casename:PERF001 testsuite:abrek testcmd:x11perf timeout:60000 retvalue:0 version:2.6.35-xxxx seriallog: xxx xxx xxx ENDLOG LOG casename:USB002 testsuite:abrek testcmd:usb_app timeout:60000 retvalue:0 version:2.6.35-xxxx seriallog: yyy yyy yyy ENDLOG What do you think? The flow to get test result: 1. Server dispatcher sends commands to client dispatcher via serial line to invoke client dispatcher, capture all the serial log and wait for the client dispatcher ends. 2. Client dispatcher executes the command, save logs to some place on the board. 3. If client dispatcher ends normally(return to the "root@testimage:~$" string), server dispatcher uses "echo $?" to get the return value. Or terminate the client dispatcher after timeout. 4. Server dispatcher gets client dispatcher test logs. 5. Server dispatcher uses the collected information to create test result. -- Best wishes, Spring Zhang

LAVA scheduler spec

by Paul Larson

Hi Mirsad, I'm looking at the recent edits to https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Validation/Specs/ValidationScheduler and wanted to start a thread to discuss. Would love to hear thoughts from others as well. We could probably use some more in the way of implementation details, but this is starting to take shape pretty well, good work. I have a few comments below: > Admin users can also cancel any scheduled jobs. Job submitters should be allowed to cancel their own jobs too, right? I think in general, the user stories need tweaking. Many of them center around automatic scheduling of jobs based on some event (adding a machine, adding a test, etc). Based on the updated design, this kind of logic would be in the piece we were referring to as the driver. The scheduler shouldn't be making those decisions on its own, but it should provide an interface for both humans to schedule jobs (web, cli) as well as and api for machines (driver) to do this. > should we avoid scheduling image tests twice because a hwpack is coming in after images or vv. Is this a question? Again, I don't think that's the scheduler's call. The scheduler isn't deciding what tests to run, and what to run them on. In this case, assuming we have the resources to pull it off, running the new image with the old, and the new hwpack would be good to do. > Test job definition Is this different from the job definition used by the dipatcher? Please tell me if I'm missing something here, but I think to schedule something, you only really need two blobs of information: 1a. specific host to run on -OR- 1b. (any/every system matching given criteria) This one is tricky, and though it sounds really useful, my personally feeling is that it is of questionable value. In theory, it lets you make more efficient use of your hardware when you have multiple identical machines. In practice, what I've seen on similar systems is that humans typically know exactly which machine they want to run something on. Where it might really come in to play is later when we have a driver automatically scheduling jobs for us. 2. job file - this is the piece that the job dispatcher consumes. It could be handwritten, machine generated, or created based on a web form where the user selects what they want. > Test job status One distinction I want to make here is job status vs. test result. A failed test can certainly have a "complete" job status. Incomplete, as a job status, just means that the dispatcher was unable to finsish all the steps in the job. For instance, a better example would be if we had a test that required an image to be deployed, booted, and a test run on it. If we tried to deploy the image and hit a kernel panic on reboot, that is an incomplete job because it never made it far enough to run the specified test. > Link to test results in launch-control If we tie this closely enough with launch-control, it seems we could just communicate the job id to the dispatcher so that it gets rolled up with the bundle. That way the dashboard would have a backlink to the job, and could create the link to the bundle once it is deserialized. Just a different option if it's easier. I don't see an obvious advantage to either approach. Thanks, Paul Larson
