It looks like dma_buf_dynamic_attach() actually takes the dma_resv lock to update the attachment list, so that should work.

What if the policy is just "only one eventfd ever" i.e. the first call of the ioctl succeeds but later calls on the same dmabuf return an error? No, exactly that is what I'm trying to avoid.

I agree, (although I think the "invalidate_attachment" needs to be discussed). In the end the importer should be given a choice, either pin and accept that subsequent attachers might see errors or accept app disruption. > > Attachment could also scan existing attachments to preferentially > pick matching > mapping_types that are compatible with existing attachments, thus > avoiding > invalidation where possible. Current design appears to be that attach only determines the set of theoretically possible mapping types, disregarding other attachments. Taking other attachments into account is also problematic because the dma-resv lock is not held. Looking at current GPU drivers, what you describe above is typically done at pin() time, but if some importers want an early very likely decision on what mapping_type to use, one could introduce a separate function that match the mapping_types, but that would be very similar to the map() function but without returning a sgt/mapping, or a pin() without actually pinning. One could reuse the invalidate_mappings() callback to indicate the mapping type is no longer valid? /Thomas > > Map time functions (eg. dma_buf_sgt_map_attachment) would check > attach->valid > and return a failure if a subsequent attachment/event had invalidated > the > mapping type. > > Importers with invalidated attachments would then have to retry > creating the > attachment, probably getting a different mapping_type.

[PATCH RFC v2 0/8] memcg: dma-buf cgroup accounting and charge transfer

by Albert Esteve

This series adds memory cgroup accounting for dma-buf allocations, building on T.J. Mercier's earlier series [1] and incorporating feedback from the v1 and LPC discussions. Patch 1 introduces the MEMCG_DMABUF stat and charge/uncharge helpers. Rather than charging at the page level via __GFP_ACCOUNT (which would require every dma-buf exporter to implement charging, and makes cross-cgroup transfer impractical without access to backing pages), we track charges externally on struct dma_buf via a MEMCG_DMABUF stat counter and route all accounting through a single path, removing the __GFP_ACCOUNT flag from system-heap allocations to avoid double counting. Patch 2 adds a charge_fd field to DMA_HEAP_IOCTL_ALLOC, accepting either a pidfd or a cgroupfd to identify the target cgroup at allocation time. If the target cgroup cannot accommodate the charge, the allocation returns -ENOMEM. Patches 3-4 add LSM hooks for the two charge_fd flavours: security_dma_buf_charge_task() gates the pidfd path (target identified by task credentials) and security_dma_buf_charge_cgroup() gates the cgroupfd path (target identified by cgroup directory label). Patches 5-6 implement the SELinux side under a dma_buf object class with charge_task and charge_cgroup permissions. For charge_cgroup, the target SID is derived from the cgroup directory's SELinux label. Patch 7 adds DMA_BUF_IOCTL_XFER_CHARGE, a general ioctl on any dma-buf fd to transfer charges (or charge) post-allocation. This covers the double-hop allocator case (SurfaceFlinger -> gralloc) and works for buffers from any exporter (DRM, V4L2, etc.). If the receiving cgroup lacks capacity for the charge, the ioctl returns -ENOMEM and the original charge is preserved. Patch 8 adds selftests. Known limitations: - Single-owner model: a dma-buf carries one memcg charge regardless of how many processes share it. - Only memcg accounting. CMA heaps would additionally need dmem controller integration. - Charging CMA-backed heaps to memcg charges unreclaimable memory: when a cgroup hits its limit, try_charge_memcg() may trigger a reclaim pass that cannot free CMA pages. A future version could move charging into per-heap callbacks. - If a transfer of an uncharged buffer fails, the buffer remains uncharged. The allocator (userspace) is expected to handle this (e.g., retry, free, ...). - The LSM hook is intentionally narrow. Broader cgroup access controls could be a separate effort.

[PATCH RFC 00/26] Add DMA-buf mapping types and convert vfio/iommufd to use them

by Jason Gunthorpe

Since its introduction, DMA-buf has only supported using scatterlist for the exporter and importer to exchange address information. This is not sufficient for all use cases as dma_addr_t is a very specific and limited type that should not be abused for things unrelated to the DMA API. There are several motivations for addressing this now: 1) VFIO to IOMMUFD and KVM requires a physical address, not a dma_addr_t scatterlist, it cannot be represented in the scatterlist structure 2) xe vGPU requires the host driver to accept a DMABUF from VFIO of its own VF and convert it into an internal VRAM address on the PF 3) We are starting to look at replacement datastructures for scatterlist 4) Ideas around UALink/etc are suggesting not using the DMA API None of these can sanely be achieved using scatterlist. Introduce a new mechanism called "mapping types" which allows DMA-buf to work with more map/unmap options than scatterlist. Each mapping type encompasses a full set of functions and data unique to itself. The core code provides a match-making system to select the best type offered by the exporter and importer to be the active mapping type for the attachment. Everything related to scatterlist is moved into a DMA-buf SGT mapping type, and into the "dma_buf_sgt_*" namespace for clarity. Existing exporters are moved over to explicitly declare SGT mapping types and importers are adjusted to use the dma_buf_sgt_* named importer helpers. Mapping types are designed to be extendable, a driver can declare its own mapping type for its internal private interconnect and use that without having to adjust the core code. The new attachment sequence starts with the importing driver declaring what mapping types it can accept: struct dma_buf_mapping_match imp_match[] = { DMA_BUF_IMAPPING_MY_DRIVER(dev, ...), DMA_BUF_IMAPPING_SGT(dev, false), }; attach = dma_buf_mapping_attach(dmabuf, imp_match, ...) Most drivers will do this via a dma_buf_sgt_*attach() helper. The exporting driver can then declare what mapping types it can supply: int exporter_match_mapping(struct dma_buf_match_args *args) { struct dma_buf_mapping_match exp_match[] = { DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_MY_DRIVER(my_ops, dev, ...), DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_SGT(sgt_ops, dev, false), DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_PAL(PAL_ops), }; return dma_buf_match_mapping(args, exp_match, ...); } Most drivers will do this via a helper: static const struct dma_buf_ops ops = { DMA_BUF_SIMPLE_SGT_EXP_MATCH(map_func, unmap_func) }; During dma_buf_mapping_attach() the core code will select a mutual match between the importer and exporter and record it as the active match in the attach->map_type. Each mapping type has its own types/function calls for mapping/unmapping, and storage in the attach->map_type for its information. As such each mapping type can offer function signatures and data that exactly matches its needs. This series goes through a sequence of: 1) Introduce the basic mapping type framework and the main components of the SGT mapping type 2) Automatically make all existing exporters and importers use core generated SGT mapping types so every attachment has a SGT mapping type 3) Convert all exporter drivers to natively create a SGT mapping type 4) Move all dma_buf_* functions and types that are related to SGT into dma_buf_sgt_* 5) Remove all the now-unused items that have been moved into SGT specific structures. 6) Demonstrate adding a new Physical Address List alongside SGT. Due to the high number of files touched I would expect this to be broken into phases, but this shows the entire picture.

This isn't right. For the regular vb2 mem ops (dma-sg, dma-contig), a buffer in the prepared state is expected to be ready for hardware usage, meaning only the hardware can access it until the buffer is finished. The vmalloc ops are special in a way that CPU is the "hardware". > > Keep this opt-in because some vb2-vmalloc drivers pass buffers to > hardware. End access in process context because DMA-BUF callbacks may > sleep. That is at least unexpected, but also probably wrong (I haven't checked all the drivers) - the vmalloc mem ops are expected to be used by drivers that only access the buffer contents from the CPU. Putting all the above together, what I think we need is: 1) prepare/finish ops in vb2_vmalloc_memops to invoke the dma_buf_begin/end_cpu_access() API if the buffer is backed by a DMA-buf, 2) some vb2 API for drivers using the regular (dma-) memops to invoke the dma_buf_begin/end_cpu_access() API for them when they need to perform some CPU accesses to the buffers - typically they would do that in their vb2_ops::buf_prepare/finish callbacks, but definitelly must not after the buffer is already prepared. It sounds like this series focuses on uvcvideo and vivid, which likely means that 1) alone would be enough to fix the original problem. WDYT?
