[PATCH] RFC: dma-buf: Require VM_SPECIAL vma for mmap

by Daniel Vetter

tldr; DMA buffers aren't normal memory, expecting that you can use them like that (like calling get_user_pages works, or that they're accounting like any other normal memory) cannot be guaranteed. Since some userspace only runs on integrated devices, where all buffers are actually all resident system memory, there's a huge temptation to assume that a struct page is always present and useable like for any more pagecache backed mmap. This has the potential to result in a uapi nightmare. To stop this gap require that DMA buffer mmaps are VM_SPECIAL, which blocks get_user_pages and all the other struct page based infrastructure for everyone. In spirit this is the uapi counterpart to the kernel-internal CONFIG_DMABUF_DEBUG. Motivated by a recent patch which wanted to swich the system dma-buf heap to vm_insert_page instead of vm_insert_pfn.

[PATCH 1/2] mm: replace BUG_ON in vm_insert_page with a return of an error

by Suren Baghdasaryan

Replace BUG_ON(vma->vm_flags & VM_PFNMAP) in vm_insert_page with WARN_ON_ONCE and returning an error. This is to ensure users of the vm_insert_page that set VM_PFNMAP are notified of the wrong flag usage and get an indication of an error without panicing the kernel. This will help identifying drivers that need to clear VM_PFNMAP before using dmabuf system heap which is moving to use vm_insert_page.

[PATCH v2 1/2] procfs: Allow reading fdinfo with PTRACE_MODE_READ

by Kalesh Singh

Android captures per-process system memory state when certain low memory events (e.g a foreground app kill) occur, to identify potential memory hoggers. In order to measure how much memory a process actually consumes, it is necessary to include the DMA buffer sizes for that process in the memory accounting. Since the handle to DMA buffers are raw FDs, it is important to be able to identify which processes have FD references to a DMA buffer. Currently, DMA buffer FDs can be accounted using /proc/<pid>/fd/* and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo -- both are only readable by the process owner, as follows: 1. Do a readlink on each FD. 2. If the target path begins with "/dmabuf", then the FD is a dmabuf FD. 3. stat the file to get the dmabuf inode number. 4. Read/ proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>, to get the DMA buffer size. Accessing other processes’ fdinfo requires root privileges. This limits the use of the interface to debugging environments and is not suitable for production builds. Granting root privileges even to a system process increases the attack surface and is highly undesirable. Since fdinfo doesn't permit reading process memory and manipulating process state, allow accessing fdinfo under PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCRED.

[PATCH v3] dmabuf: Add the capability to expose DMA-BUF stats in sysfs

by Hridya Valsaraju

This patch allows statistics to be enabled for each DMA-BUF in sysfs by enabling the config CONFIG_DMABUF_SYSFS_STATS. The following stats will be exposed by the interface: /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers/<inode_number>/exporter_name /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers/<inode_number>/size /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers/<inode_number>/attachments/<attach_uid>/device /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers/<inode_number>/attachments/<attach_uid>/map_counter The inode_number is unique for each DMA-BUF and was added earlier [1] in order to allow userspace to track DMA-BUF usage across different processes. Currently, this information is exposed in /sys/kernel/debug/dma_buf/bufinfo. However, since debugfs is considered unsafe to be mounted in production, it is being duplicated in sysfs. This information will be used to derive DMA-BUF per-exporter stats and per-device usage stats for Android Bug reports. The corresponding userspace changes can be found at [2]. Telemetry tools will also capture this information(along with other memory metrics) periodically as well as on important events like a foreground app kill (which might have been triggered by Low Memory Killer). It will also contribute to provide a snapshot of the system memory usage on other events such as OOM kills and Application Not Responding events. A shell script that can be run on a classic Linux environment to read out the DMA-BUF statistics can be found at [3](suggested by John Stultz). The patch contains the following improvements over the previous version: 1) Each attachment is represented by its own directory to allow creating a symlink to the importing device and to also provide room for future expansion. 2) The number of distinct mappings of each attachment is exposed in a separate file. 3) The per-buffer statistics are now in /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers inorder to make the interface expandable in future. All of the improvements above are based on suggestions/feedback from Daniel Vetter and Christian König.

[PATCH 1/1] dma-buf: heaps: Map system heap pages as managed by linux vm

by Suren Baghdasaryan

Currently system heap maps its buffers with VM_PFNMAP flag using remap_pfn_range. This results in such buffers not being accounted for in PSS calculations because vm treats this memory as having no page structs. Without page structs there are no counters representing how many processes are mapping a page and therefore PSS calculation is impossible. Historically, ION driver used to map its buffers as VM_PFNMAP areas due to memory carveouts that did not have page structs [1]. That is not the case anymore and it seems there was desire to move away from remap_pfn_range [2]. Dmabuf system heap design inherits this ION behavior and maps its pages using remap_pfn_range even though allocated pages are backed by page structs. Clear VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP flags when mapping memory allocated by the system heap and replace remap_pfn_range with vm_insert_page, following Laura's suggestion in [1]. This would allow correct PSS calculation for dmabufs.

[PATCH] RFC: dma-fence: Document recoverable page fault implications

by Daniel Vetter

Recently there was a fairly long thread about recoreable hardware page faults, how they can deadlock, and what to do about that. While the discussion is still fresh I figured good time to try and document the conclusions a bit.

This also means no implicit fencing for shared buffers in these cases. + +Recoverable Hardware Page Faults Implications +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Modern hardware supports recoverable page faults, which has a lot of +implications for DMA fences. + +First, a pending page fault obviously holds up the work that's running on the +accelerator and a memory allocation is usually required to resolve the fault. +But memory allocations are not allowed to gate completion of DMA fences, which +means any workload using recoverable page faults cannot use DMA fences for +synchronization. Synchronization fences controlled by userspace must be used +instead. + +On GPUs this poses a problem, because current desktop compositor protocols on +Linus rely on DMA fences, which means without an entirely new userspace stack +built on top of userspace fences, they cannot benefit from recoverable page +faults. The exception is when page faults are only used as migration hints and +never to on-demand fill a memory request. For now this means recoverable page +faults on GPUs are limited to pure compute workloads. + +Furthermore GPUs usually have shared resources between the 3D rendering and +compute side, like compute units or command submission engines. If both a 3D +job with a DMA fence and a compute workload using recoverable page faults are +pending they could deadlock: + +- The 3D workload might need to wait for the compute job to finish and release + hardware resources first. + +- The compute workload might be stuck in a page fault, because the memory + allocation is waiting for the DMA fence of the 3D workload to complete. + +There are a few ways to prevent this problem: + +- Compute workloads can always be preempted, even when a page fault is pending + and not yet repaired. Not all hardware supports this. + +- DMA fence workloads and workloads which need page fault handling have + independent hardware resources to guarantee forward progress. This could be + achieved through e.g. through dedicated engines and minimal compute unit + reservations for DMA fence workloads. + +- The reservation approach could be further refined by only reserving the + hardware resources for DMA fence workloads when they are in-flight. This must + cover the time from when the DMA fence is visible to other threads up to + moment when fence is completed through dma_fence_signal(). + +- As a last resort, if the hardware provides no useful reservation mechanics, + all workloads must be flushed from the GPU when switching between jobs + requiring DMA fences or jobs requiring page fault handling: This means all DMA + fences must complete before a compute job with page fault handling can be + inserted into the scheduler queue. And vice versa, before a DMA fence can be + made visible anywhere in the system, all compute workloads must be preempted + to guarantee all pending GPU page faults are flushed. + +Note that workloads that run on independent hardware like copy engines or other +GPUs do not have any impact. This allows us to keep using DMA fences internally +in the kernel even for resolving hardware page faults, e.g. by using copy +engines to clear or copy memory needed to resolve the page fault. + +In some ways this page fault problem is a special case of the `Infinite DMA +Fences` discussions: Infinite fences from compute workloads are allowed to +depend on DMA fences, but not the other way around. And not even the page fault +problem is new, because some other CPU thread in userspace might +hit a page fault which holds up a userspace fence - supporting page faults on +GPUs doesn't anything fundamentally new. -- 2.30.0
