[PATCH 0/2] Document the DMA-buf mapping lifetime negotiation

by Leon Romanovsky

DMA-buf lets an exporter pin, move or revoke the backing storage under an importer, and which of the three applies is decided by the optional callbacks each side implements and by whether dma_buf_pin() succeeds. Nothing in Documentation/ describes that, and the single reference to the mechanism still names move_notify(), removed in v7.1. Thanks Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro(a)nvidia.com> --- Leon Romanovsky (2): PCI/P2PDMA: Update DMABUF lifecycle docs after move_notify() rename dma-buf: Document how exporters and importers agree on mapping lifetime Documentation/driver-api/dma-buf.rst | 6 +++ Documentation/driver-api/pci/p2pdma.rst | 6 ++- drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c | 85 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 94 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 8049741ac93acd3a590dac070e12571fddf0e294 change-id: 20260820-document-dma-buf-3f8b41e32f57 Best regards, -- Leon Romanovsky <leonro(a)nvidia.com>

Nope, I'm fine, it just explains why it wasn't seen in other tested. You were backporting and mix&matched things. It confirms the upstream kernel was fine from the start. There are other importers besides RDMA, so I still think that this is a good change regardless. Having each segment remain page aligned, and staying away from ULONG_MAX that might trigger overflows is a friendly and robust thing to do for less sophisticated importers. Jason

This patch is fine, but pedenatically a scatterlist's entry limit should be bounded to dma_get_max_seg_size(), though I don't think it helps this. Operating scatterlists at the size limits has proven problematic in a number of places already... > In addition, a non-page-aligned sgl length will trigger an edge case > in `ib_umem_find_best_pgsz()`.

That's an IB side bug, the newer logic that joins adjacent SGLs should have avoided it? Jason

I'll > restructure v5 as follows: > > drm_work_fence: kref, work_struct, dma_fence_cb, stored fence ref, > wq, ops — add_callback, cancel, cancel_sync Yeah, this pattern came up so often that I already considered adding it to the core dma_fence framework. So if you feel really brave make that a dma_fence_work helper. If I'm not completely mistaken AI should be able to find quite a number of use cases for that already. > > drm_user_fence: embeds drm_work_fence, adds mm_struct and the > kthread_use_mm/mmput boilerplate, thin wrappers > > XE will continue to use drm_user_fence.

It would be really nice if we could move those compare functionality (>, <, !=, == etc...) XE has for the user value into the drm_user_fence handling as well. We also need to add a heck of documentation that while this is able to consume dma_fences it *CAN'T* be used to implement dma_fence_ops. I had more than enough headache because of that.

I suggest this because I was thinking about it the other day (I forget the exact context) and reconsidered a pattern where a fence signals and then I need a worker because some work must be done outside of IRQ context. A user fence is one example, since copy_to_user() can fault, which is not allowed in IRQ context. At various times in Xe we've had multiple patterns like this, although at the moment user fences are probably the only case that requires it. If we looked across DRM as a whole, I suspect we'd find this pattern open-coded in a number of places. Yes, drm_user_fence would be a very thin layer on top of drm_work_fence, but I still see value in the split.
