From: Rob Clark <rob(a)ti.com>
Works in a similar way to get_file(), and is needed in cases such as
when the exporter needs to also keep a reference to the dmabuf (that
is later released with a dma_buf_put()), and possibly other similar
cases.

1.7.5.4
Hello everyone,
The patches adds support for DMABUF [1] exporting to V4L2 stack. It was
updated from [7] after Laurent Pinchart's review. The previous patchset was
split into two parts. The support for DMABUF importing was posted in [2]. The
exporter part is dependant on DMA mapping redesign [3] which is not merged into
the mainline. Therefore it is posted as a separate patchset.
This patchset is rebased on 3.4-rc1 plus the following patchsets:
- support for DMABUF importing in V4L2 [2]
- DMA mapping redesign [3]
- support for dma_get_pages extension [4]
- support for vmap extension to dmabuf framework by Dave Airlie [5][6]

1.7.5.4
Compared to Rob Clark's RFC I've ditched the prepare/finish hooks
and corresponding ioctls on the dma_buf file. The major reason for
that is that many people seem to be under the impression that this is
also for synchronization with outstanding asynchronous processsing.
I'm pretty massively opposed to this because:
- It boils down reinventing a new rather general-purpose userspace
synchronization interface. If we look at things like futexes, this
is hard to get right.
- Furthermore a lot of kernel code has to interact with this
synchronization primitive. This smells a look like the dri1 hw_lock,
a horror show I prefer not to reinvent.
- Even more fun is that multiple different subsystems would interact
here, so we have plenty of opportunities to create funny deadlock
scenarios.
I think synchronization is a wholesale different problem from data
sharing and should be tackled as an orthogonal problem.
Now we could demand that prepare/finish may only ensure cache
coherency (as Rob intended), but that runs up into the next problem:
We not only need mmap support to facilitate sw-only processing nodes
in a pipeline (without jumping through hoops by importing the dma_buf
into some sw-access only importer), which allows for a nicer
ION->dma-buf upgrade path for existing Android userspace. We also need
mmap support for existing importing subsystems to support existing
userspace libraries. And a loot of these subsystems are expected to
export coherent userspace mappings.
So prepare/finish can only ever be optional and the exporter /needs/
to support coherent mappings. Given that mmap access is always
somewhat fallback-y in nature I've decided to drop this optimization,
instead of just making it optional. If we demonstrate a clear need for
this, supported by benchmark results, we can always add it in again
later as an optional extension.
Other differences compared to Rob's RFC is the above mentioned support
for mapping a dma-buf through facilities provided by the importer.
Which results in mmap support no longer being optional.
Note that this dma-buf mmap patch does _not_ support every possible
insanity an existing subsystem could pull of with mmap: Because it
does not allow to intercept pagefaults and shoot down ptes importing
subsystems can't add some magic of their own at these points (e.g. to
automatically synchronize with outstanding rendering or set up some
special resources). I've done a cursory read through a few mmap
implementions of various subsytems and I'm hopeful that we can avoid
this (and the complexity it'd bring with it).
Additonally I've extended the documentation a bit to explain the hows
and whys of this mmap extension.
In case we ever want to add support for explicitly cache maneged
userspace mmap with a prepare/finish ioctl pair, we could specify that
userspace needs to mmap a different part of the dma_buf, e.g. the
range starting at dma_buf->size up to dma_buf->size*2. This works
because the size of a dma_buf is invariant over it's lifetime. The
exporter would obviously need to fall back to coherent mappings for
both ranges if a legacy clients maps the coherent range and the
architecture cannot suppor conflicting caching policies. Also, this
would obviously be optional and userspace needs to be able to fall
back to coherent mappings.
v2:
- Spelling fixes from Rob Clark.
- Compile fix for !DMA_BUF from Rob Clark.
- Extend commit message to explain how explicitly cache managed mmap
support could be added later.
- Extend the documentation with implementations notes for exporters
that need to manually fake coherency.
v3:
- dma_buf pointer initialization goof-up noticed by Rebecca Schultz
Zavin.

@@ -313,6 +306,83 @@ Access to a dma_buf from the kernel context involves three steps:
enum dma_data_direction dir);
+Direct Userspace Access/mmap Support
+------------------------------------
+
+Being able to mmap an export dma-buf buffer object has 2 main use-cases:
+- CPU fallback processing in a pipeline and
+- supporting existing mmap interfaces in importers.
+
+1. CPU fallback processing in a pipeline
+
+ In many processing pipelines it is sometimes required that the cpu can access
+ the data in a dma-buf (e.g. for thumbnail creation, snapshots, ...). To avoid
+ the need to handle this specially in userspace frameworks for buffer sharing
+ it's ideal if the dma_buf fd itself can be used to access the backing storage
+ from userspace using mmap.
+
+ Furthermore Android's ION framework already supports this (and is otherwise
+ rather similar to dma-buf from a userspace consumer side with using fds as
+ handles, too). So it's beneficial to support this in a similar fashion on
+ dma-buf to have a good transition path for existing Android userspace.
+
+ No special interfaces, userspace simply calls mmap on the dma-buf fd.
+
+2. Supporting existing mmap interfaces in exporters
+
+ Similar to the motivation for kernel cpu access it is again important that
+ the userspace code of a given importing subsystem can use the same interfaces
+ with a imported dma-buf buffer object as with a native buffer object. This is
+ especially important for drm where the userspace part of contemporary OpenGL,
+ X, and other drivers is huge, and reworking them to use a different way to
+ mmap a buffer rather invasive.
+
+ The assumption in the current dma-buf interfaces is that redirecting the
+ initial mmap is all that's needed. A survey of some of the existing
+ subsystems shows that no driver seems to do any nefarious thing like syncing
+ up with outstanding asynchronous processing on the device or allocating
+ special resources at fault time. So hopefully this is good enough, since
+ adding interfaces to intercept pagefaults and allow pte shootdowns would
+ increase the complexity quite a bit.
+
+ Interface:
+ int dma_buf_mmap(struct dma_buf *, struct vm_area_struct *,
+ unsigned long);
+
+ If the importing subsystem simply provides a special-purpose mmap call to set
+ up a mapping in userspace, calling do_mmap with dma_buf->file will equally
+ achieve that for a dma-buf object.
+
+3. Implementation notes for exporters
+
+ Because dma-buf buffers have invariant size over their lifetime, the dma-buf
+ core checks whether a vma is too large and rejects such mappings. The
+ exporter hence does not need to duplicate this check.
+
+ Because existing importing subsystems might presume coherent mappings for
+ userspace, the exporter needs to set up a coherent mapping. If that's not
+ possible, it needs to fake coherency by manually shooting down ptes when
+ leaving the cpu domain and flushing caches at fault time. Note that all the
+ dma_buf files share the same anon inode, hence the exporter needs to replace
+ the dma_buf file stored in vma->vm_file with it's own if pte shootdown is
+ requred. This is because the kernel uses the underlying inode's address_space
+ for vma tracking (and hence pte tracking at shootdown time with
+ unmap_mapping_range).
+
+ If the above shootdown dance turns out to be too expensive in certain
+ scenarios, we can extend dma-buf with a more explicit cache tracking scheme
+ for userspace mappings. But the current assumption is that using mmap is
+ always a slower path, so some inefficiencies should be acceptable.
+
+ Exporters that shoot down mappings (for any reasons) shall not do any
+ synchronization at fault time with outstanding device operations.
+ Synchronization is an orthogonal issue to sharing the backing storage of a
+ buffer and hence should not be handled by dma-buf itself. This is explictly
+ mentioned here because many people seem to want something like this, but if
+ different exporters handle this differently, buffer sharing can fail in
+ interesting ways depending upong the exporter (if userspace starts depending
+ upon this implicit synchronization).
+
Miscellaneous notes
-------------------
@@ -336,6 +406,20 @@ Miscellaneous notes
the exporting driver to create a dmabuf fd must provide a way to let
userspace control setting of O_CLOEXEC flag passed in to dma_buf_fd().
+- If an exporter needs to manually flush caches and hence needs to fake
+ coherency for mmap support, it needs to be able to zap all the ptes pointing
+ at the backing storage. Now linux mm needs a struct address_space associated
+ with the struct file stored in vma->vm_file to do that with the function
+ unmap_mapping_range. But the dma_buf framework only backs every dma_buf fd
+ with the anon_file struct file, i.e. all dma_bufs share the same file.
+
+ Hence exporters need to setup their own file (and address_space) association
+ by setting vma->vm_file and adjusting vma->vm_pgoff in the dma_buf mmap
+ callback. In the specific case of a gem driver the exporter could use the
+ shmem file already provided by gem (and set vm_pgoff = 0). Exporters can then
+ zap ptes by unmapping the corresponding range of the struct address_space
+ associated with their own file.

Hi all,
I have one question on memory migration. As we know, malloc() from
user app will allocate MIGRATE_MOVABLE pages. But if we want to use
this memory as DMA usage, we can't accept MIGRATE_MOVABLE type. Could
we change its behavior before DMA working?
Thanks
Haojian

1.7.5.4
Hey there,
We ran a call today on the topics of V4L2/dmabuf integration and the
DMA mapping changes; I've included minutes and actions below.
In summary:
- We're not going to see the V4L2 patches in 3.4; they haven't had
enough review or testing and Mauro is very busy this merge window.
- We're going to put in effort to validate the work on Exynos4 and
OMAP4 using test applications that Rob and Tomasz are maintaining.
- Sumit's maintaining an up-to-date branch containing all the
in-flight DRM/V4L2/dmabuf-dependent work that we can carry
meanwhile:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/sumitsemwal/linux-3.x.git;a=shortlog;…
Laurent, I missed one thing that you mentioned in the call and it's
included in an XXX: below; if you could note what it was it would be
great.
Please feel free to correct my possibly wild misunderstandings in the
minutes and summary above. Thanks!

ACTION: Kiko to check with Nicolas on this piece, see if he
can review or help Marek with the ARM-related pieces
Tomasz could use the 3.3-WIP branch
Sumit: rebasing not a good idea, but could pull in for-next
Suggests Tomasz bases work on Linus' mainline
Had problems with Tomasz' branch that is based on -next
His branch includes Tomasz RFCv2 patches as well
Laurent: agree with Sumit
ACTION: Sumit to email Tomasz and CC: Inki Dae
ACTION: send around latest drm-prime branch
Tomasz: so no XXX: exporter support for V4L?
Laurent: doesn't have time to update XXX at the moment
Needs porting to videobuf2
Rob: Looks like Daniel V. has also replied to the V4L patches so
it's going to be hard for 3.4
Mauro's lack of time makes 3.4 not possible anyway
mmap support also likely to miss 3.4
EGLImage extension needs sorting out
Can be carried in our WIP branch meanwhile
Mauro: what are the test applications being used for dmabuf?
Rob: using Panda with camera adapter board (omap-drm)
Would like others to have similar setups
Requires YUV sensor, but there are patches that support the
RAW YUV conversion which allows other sensors to be used
Mauro: but what software app are you using?
Rob: has test code in github:
https://github.com/robclark/omapdrmtest
Tomasz:
Have posted one test application on dri-devel (March 6th)
http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg19634.html
Second application posted to linux-media
As a reply to RFCv1 dma-buf V4L2 patches (Jan 26th)
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg42522.html
Mauro: include both applications together with patches when
posting
Sumit: could ask Inki to provide similar exynos-drm test application
in parallel to Rob's omap-drm; same interface will simplify
testing
Marek:
device-to-device coordinate will be needed
Will start next week ideally
For a device-to-device operation, need this to avoid touching
CPU cache
Not sure about ARM stuff for 3.4; need review
If they don't go in, will keep on dma-mapping-next
Konrad's comments are addressed and Reviewed-bys added
Take care,

I think that "linaro-mm-sig(a)lists.linaro.org" would be the best for
further discussion, putting linaro-mm-sig on Cc:.

Hello everyone,
This patchset adds support for DMABUF [2] importing to V4L2 stack.
The support for DMABUF exporting was moved to separate patchset
due to dependency on patches for DMA mapping redesign by
Marek Szyprowski [4].
v5:
- removed change of importer/exporter behaviour
- fixes vb2_dc_pages_to_sgt basing on Laurent's hints
- changed pin/unpin words to lock/unlock in Doc
v4:
- rebased on mainline 3.4-rc2
- included missing importing support for s5p-fimc and s5p-tv
- added patch for changing map/unmap for importers
- fixes to Documentation part
- coding style fixes
- pairing {map/unmap}_dmabuf in vb2-core
- fixing variable types and semantic of arguments in videobufb2-dma-contig.c
v3:
- rebased on mainline 3.4-rc1
- split 'code refactor' patch to multiple smaller patches
- squashed fixes to Sumit's patches
- patchset is no longer dependant on 'DMA mapping redesign'
- separated path for handling IO and non-IO mappings
- add documentation for DMABUF importing to V4L
- removed all DMABUF exporter related code
- removed usage of dma_get_pages extension
v2:
- extended VIDIOC_EXPBUF argument from integer memoffset to struct
v4l2_exportbuffer
- added patch that breaks DMABUF spec on (un)map_atachment callcacks but allows
to work with existing implementation of DMABUF prime in DRM
- all dma-contig code refactoring patches were squashed
- bugfixes
v1: List of changes since [1].
- support for DMA api extension dma_get_pages, the function is used to retrieve
pages used to create DMA mapping.
- small fixes/code cleanup to videobuf2
- added prepare and finish callbacks to vb2 allocators, it is used keep
consistency between dma-cpu acess to the memory (by Marek Szyprowski)
- support for exporting of DMABUF buffer in V4L2 and Videobuf2, originated from
[3].
- support for dma-buf exporting in vb2-dma-contig allocator
- support for DMABUF for s5p-tv and s5p-fimc (capture interface) drivers,
originated from [3]
- changed handling for userptr buffers (by Marek Szyprowski, Andrzej
Pietrasiewicz)
- let mmap method to use dma_mmap_writecombine call (by Marek Szyprowski)
