Re: [Linaro-mm-sig] [RFC] Synchronizing access to buffers shared with dma-buf between drivers/devices

by Rob Clark

Some comments inline.. at this stage mostly superficial issues about how the API works, etc.. not had a chance to dig too much into the implementation yet (although some of my comments about the API would change those anyways). Anyways, thanks for getting the ball rolling on this, and I think I can volunteer linaro to pick up and run w/ this if needed.

I'm guessing that is some implementation detail about mali driver peaking through? But maybe instead of inventing something new, we can just use 'struct kthread_work' instead of 'struct kds_callback' plus the two 'void *'s? If the user needs some extra args they can embed 'struct kthread_work' in their own struct and use container_of() magic in the cb. Plus this is a natural fit if you want to dispatch callbacks instead on a kthread_worker, which seems like it would simplify a few things when it comes to deadlock avoidance.. ie., not resource deadlock avoidance, but dispatching callbacks when some lock is held. /me wonders what sort of fun would otherwise happen if the cb ever indirectly called kds_resource_set_release()? > +/* Synchronous wait for a set of resources. > + * Function will return when one of these have happened: > + * - all resources have been obtained > + * - timeout lapsed while waiting > + * - a signal was received while waiting > + * > + * Caller considered to own/use the resources when the function returns. > + * Caller must release the resources using \a kds_rset_release. > + * > + * Calling this function while holding already locked resources or other > locking primitives is dangerous. > + * One must if this is needed decide on a lock order of the resources > and/or the other locking primitives > + * and always take the resources/locking primitives in the specific order. > + * > + * Use the ERR_PTR framework to decode the return value. > + * NULL = time out > + * If IS_ERR then PTR_ERR gives: > + * ERESTARTSYS = signal received, retry call after signal > + * all other values = internal error, lock failed > + * Other values = successful wait, now the owner, must call > kds_resource_set_release > + */ > +struct kds_resource_set * kds_waitall( > + int number_resources, > + unsigned long * exclusive_access_bitmap, > + struct kds_resource ** resource_list, > + unsigned long jifies_timeout); > + > +/* Release resources after use. > + * Caller must handle that other async callbacks will trigger, > + * so must avoid holding any locks a callback will take. > + * > + * The function takes a pointer to your poiner to handle a race > + * between a cancelation and a completion. > + * > + * If the caller can't guarantee that a race can't occur then > + * the passed in pointer must be the same in both call paths > + * to allow kds to manage the potential race. > + */ > +void kds_resource_set_release(struct kds_resource_set ** pprset); maybe using a worker as mentioned above for dealing w/ async cb's simplify's things?

[PATCH] ARM: mm: fix type of the arm_dma_limit global variable

by Marek Szyprowski

arm_dma_limit stores physical address of maximal address accessible by DMA, so the phys_addr_t type makes much more sence for it instead of u32. This patch fixes the following build warning: arch/arm/mm/init.c:380: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast Reported-by: Russell King <linux(a)arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski(a)samsung.com> --- arch/arm/mm/init.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm/mm/init.c b/arch/arm/mm/init.c index 8f5813b..39f2a86 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mm/init.c +++ b/arch/arm/mm/init.c @@ -211,7 +211,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(arm_dma_zone_size); * allocations.

[GIT PULL] CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates for v3.5

by Marek Szyprowski

Hi Linus, I would like to ask for pulling Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) and ARM DMA-mapping framework updates for v3.5. The following changes since commit 76e10d158efb6d4516018846f60c2ab5501900bc: Linux 3.4 (2012-05-20 15:29:13 -0700) with the top-most commit 0f51596bd39a5c928307ffcffc9ba07f90f42a8b Merge branch 'for-next-arm-dma' into for-linus are available in the git repository at: git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping.git for-linus These patches contains 2 major updates for DMA mapping subsystem (mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) which 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 migrates system pages to create a space for the required big chunk of physically contiguous memory. For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles: 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator': http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/ 'CMA and ARM': http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/ 'A deep dive into CMA': http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/ and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous versions: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204 The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the core, common code. The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework. This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware. For more information please refer to the following thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c).
