[PATCH v2 RESEND 0/4] CMA & device tree, once again

by Marek Szyprowski

Hello, (please ignore previous patchset, I've attached wrong version of patches) This is one more respin of the patches which add support for creating reserved memory regions defined in device tree. The last attempt (http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-mm-sig/2014-February/003738.html) ended in merging only half of the code, so right now we have complete documentation merged and only basic code, which implements a half of it is written in the documentation. Although the merged patches allow to reserve memory, there is no way of using it for devices and drivers. This situation makes CMA rather useless, as the main architecture (ARM), which used it, has been converted from board-file based system initialization to device tree. Thus there is no place to use direct calls to dma_declare_contiguous() and some new solution, which bases on device tree, is urgently needed. This patch series fixes this issue. It provides two, already widely discussed and already present in the kernel, drivers for reserved memory: first based on DMA-coherent allocator, second using Contiguous Memory Allocator. The first one nicely implements typical 'carved out' reserved memory way of allocating contiguous buffers in a kernel-style way. The memory is used exclusively by devices assigned to the given memory region. The second one allows to reuse reserved memory for movable kernel pages (like disk buffers, anonymous memory) and migrates it out when device to allocates contiguous memory buffer. Both driver provides memory buffers via standard dma-mapping API. The patches have been rebased on top of latest CMA and mm changes merged to akmp kernel tree. To define a 64MiB CMA region following node is needed: multimedia_reserved: multimedia_mem_region { compatible = "shared-dma-pool"; reusable; size = <0x4000000>; alignment = <0x400000>; }; Similarly, one can define 64MiB region with DMA coherent memory: multimedia_reserved: multimedia_mem_region { compatible = "shared-dma-pool"; no-map; size = <0x4000000>; alignment = <0x400000>; }; Then the defined region can be assigned to devices: scaler: scaler@12500000 { memory-region = <&multimedia_reserved>; /* ... */ }; codec: codec@12600000 { memory-region = <&multimedia_reserved>; /* ... */ }; Best regards Marek Szyprowski Samsung R&D Institute Poland Changes since v1: (http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg343702.html) - fixed possible memory leak in case of reserved memory allocation failure (thanks to Joonsoo Kim) Changes since the version posted in '[PATCH v6 00/11] reserved-memory regions/CMA in devicetree, again' thread http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-mm-sig/2014-February/003738.html: - rebased on top of '[PATCH v3 -next 0/9] CMA: generalize CMA reserved area management code' patch series on v3.16-rc3 - improved dma-coherent driver, now it correctly handles assigning more than one device to the given memory region Patch summary: Marek Szyprowski (4): drivers: of: add automated assignment of reserved regions to client devices drivers: of: initialize and assign reserved memory to newly created devices drivers: dma-coherent: add initialization from device tree drivers: dma-contiguous: add initialization from device tree drivers/base/dma-coherent.c | 137 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/of/of_reserved_mem.c | 70 ++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/of/platform.c | 7 ++ include/linux/cma.h | 3 + include/linux/of_reserved_mem.h | 7 ++ mm/cma.c | 62 ++++++++++++++---- 7 files changed, 323 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) -- 1.9.2

[PATCH v5 00/11] Add DRM for stih4xx platforms

by Benjamin Gaignard

This series of patches add the support of DRM/KMS drivers for STMicroelectronics chipsets stih416 and stih407. version 5: - Rework sti_drm_drv probes functions to support deferred probe. This allow hdmi to delayed framebuffer creation until I2C is available. - Add ops functsions in sti_layer structure to simpify GDP and VID code. - Add NOTES file to describe how the DRM concepts are mapped on hardware. patches could be found here: git://git.linaro.org/people/benjamin.gaignard/kernel.git on branch: drm_kms_for_next-v5 version 4: - Remove depency between TVout it subdevices HDMI and HDA - Rework and simplify VTG and VTAC code - Fix numbers of typo and indentation - Remove debug (will be push in separate patches) - Fix remarks done in previous patcheset patches could be found here: git://git.linaro.org/people/benjamin.gaignard/kernel.git on branch: drm_kms_for_next-v4 version 3: - Correctly split code between probe and bind funtions - Squash some commits - remove HQ-VDP device code to have a smaller patcheset, we will introduce it later. patches could be found here: git://git.linaro.org/people/benjamin.gaignard/kernel.git on branch: drm_kms_for_next-v3 version 2: - Use componentized device instead of register sub-devices in master driver probe function - Fix Makefile and Kconfig to only allow built-in compilation patches could be found here: git://git.linaro.org/people/benjamin.gaignard/kernel.git on branch: drm_kms_for_next-v2 version 1: - First path submission Hardware is split in two main blocks: Compositor and TVout. Each of them includes specific hardware IPs and the display timing are controlled by a specific Video Timing Generator hardware IP (VTG). Compositor is made of the follow hardware IPs: - GDP (Generic Display Pipeline) which is an entry point for graphic (RGB) buffers - VDP (Video Diplay Pipeline) which is an entry point for video (YUV) buffers - HQVDP (High Quality Video Display Processor) that supports scaling, deinterlacing and some miscellaneous image quality improvements. It fetches the Video decoded buffers from memory, processes them and pushes them to the Compositor through a HW dedicated bus. - Mixer is responsible of mixing all the entries depending of their respective z-order and layout TVout is divided in 3 parts: - HDMI to generate HDMI signals, depending of chipset version HDMI phy can change. - HDA to generate signals for HD analog TV - VIP to control/switch data path coming from Compositor On stih416 compositor and Tvout are on different dies so a Video Trafic Advance inter-die Communication mechanism (VTAC) is needed. +---------------------------------------------+ +----------------------------------------+ | +-------------------------------+ +----+ | | +----+ +--------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | +---------+ +----+ | | | | +----+ +------+ | | | | | | | | | VIP |---->|HDMI| | | | | |GPD +------------->| | | | | | | | | | | | +----+ | | | | +----+ |Mixer |--|-->| | | | | |---|->| switcher| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +----+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |---->|HDA | | | | | +------+ | |VTAC|========>|VTAC| | +---------+ +----+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Compositor | | | | | | | | TVout | | | +-------------------------------+ | | | | | | +--------------------------+ | | ^ | | | | | | ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | +--------------+ | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | VTG (master) |----->| | | | | |----->| VTG (slave) | | | +--------------+ +----+ | | +----+ +-------------+ | |Digital die | | Analog Die| +---------------------------------------------+ +----------------------------------------+ On stih407 Compositor and Tvout are on the same die +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | +-------------------------------+ +--------------------------+ | | | | | +---------+ +----+ | | | | +----+ +------+ | | | VIP |---->|HDMI| | | | | |GPD +------------->| | | | | | +----+ | | | | +----+ |Mixer |--|--|->| switcher| | | | | +----+ +-----+ | | | | | | +----+ | | | | |VDP +-->+HQVDP+--->| | | | | |---->|HDA | | | | | +----+ +-----+ +------+ | | +---------+ +----+ | | | | | | | | | | Compositor | | TVout | | | +-------------------------------+ +--------------------------+ | | ^ ^ | | | | | | +--------------+ | | | VTG | | | +--------------+ | |Digital die | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ In addition of the drivers for the IPs listed before a thin I2C driver (hdmiddc) is used by HDMI driver to retrieve EDID for monitor.

We found that after certain point of time (during boot), min watermark check is failing when "free_pages" and "free_cma_pages" are almost equal and falls below the min level. system details: ARM embedded device: RAM: 256MB Kernel version: 3.10.17 Fixed Reserved memory: ~40MB Available memory: 217MB CMA reserved 1 : 56MB ZRAM configured: 128MB or 64MB min_free_kbytes: 1625 (default) Memory controller group enabled (MEMCG) After boot-up the "free -tm" command shows free memory as: ~50MB CMA is used for all UI display purposes. CMA used during bootup is close to ~6MB. Thus most of the free memory is in the form of CMA free memory. ZRAM getting uses was around ~5MB. During boot-up itself we observe that the following conditions are met. if (free_pages - free_cma <= min + lowmem_reserve) { printk"[PINTU]: __zone_watermark_ok: failed !\n"); return false; } Here: free_pages was: 12940, free_cma was: 12380, min: 566, lowmem: 0 Thus is condition is met most of the time. And because of this watermark failure, Kswapd is waking up frequently. The /proc/pagetypeinfo reports that most of the higher order pages are from CMA regions. We also observed that ZRAM is trying to allocate memory from CMA region and failing. We also tried by decreasing the CMA region to 20MB. With this the watermark failure is not happening in boot time. But if we launch more than 3 apps {Browser, music-player etc}, again the watermark started failing. Also we tried decreasing the min_free_kbytes=256, and with this also watermark is passed. Our observation is that ZRAM/zsmalloc trying to allocate memory from CMA areas and failed. Please let us know if anybody have come across the same problem and how to resolve this issue. Thank You!

[RFC PATCH] mm: cma: allow O_DIRECT I/O on CMA pages

by Marc Carino

It is desirable to perform "zero copy" operations on the numerous embedded systems that run the Linux kernel, to enable efficient performance on resource-constrained systems. Usually such embedded systems leverage mechanisms like CMA to carve-out regions of contiguous physical memory for use by bus-mastering peripherals. This patch adds some logic which determines if user-space is attempting to perform direct I/O mapping on CMA pages, and if so, ensures the mapping succeeds. This patch is a 1st attempt to allow O_DIRECT on the memory carved-out by CMA. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated!

There's an event mechanism still to come - mostly for communicating fences and shader interrupts back to userspace, but also used for "device change" notifications, so no polling of sysfs. That could would be interesting. On i915 my plan is to internally use the recently added struct fence from Maarten. For the external interface for userspace that wants explicit control over fences I'm leaning towards polishing the android syncpt stuff (currently in staging). But in any case I _really_ want to avoid that we end up with multiple different and incompatible explicit fencing interfaces on linux.

Frankly I really have no idea what is going on. ZRAM/zsmalloc should not try to alloc memory from CMA. I don't have access you the mentioned source code. What flags are passed to alloc_pages() in zram/zsmalloc? It should get pages from non-movable pool. Best regards -- Marek Szyprowski, PhD Samsung R&D Institute Poland

Issues: 1) When free memory pages and CMA free pages are almost equal, min watermark check is failing, resulting in swapping. 2) Almost all the free memory in system is CMA free memory. 3) When ZRAM tries to allocate pages from CMA free areas, the allocation fails.

[PATCH v2 0/9] Updated fence patch series

by Maarten Lankhorst

So after some more hacking I've moved dma-buf to its own subdirectory, drivers/dma-buf and applied the fence patches to its new place. I believe that the first patch should be applied regardless, and the rest should be ready now. :-) Changes to the fence api: - release_fence -> fence_release etc. - __fence_init -> fence_init - __fence_signal -> fence_signal_locked - __fence_is_signaled -> fence_is_signaled_locked - Changing BUG_ON to WARN_ON in fence_later, and return NULL if it triggers. Android can expose fences to userspace. It's possible to make the new fence mechanism expose the same fences to userspace by changing sync_fence_create to take a struct fence instead of a struct sync_pt. No other change is needed, because only the fence parts of struct sync_pt are used. But because the userspace fences are a separate problem and I haven't really looked at it yet I feel it should stay in staging, for now. --- Maarten Lankhorst (9): dma-buf: move to drivers/dma-buf fence: dma-buf cross-device synchronization (v18) seqno-fence: Hardware dma-buf implementation of fencing (v6) dma-buf: use reservation objects android: convert sync to fence api, v6 reservation: add support for fences to enable cross-device synchronisation dma-buf: add poll support, v3 reservation: update api and add some helpers reservation: add suppport for read-only access using rcu Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl | 8 MAINTAINERS | 4 drivers/Makefile | 1 drivers/base/Kconfig | 9 drivers/base/Makefile | 1 drivers/base/dma-buf.c | 743 -------------------- drivers/base/reservation.c | 39 - drivers/dma-buf/Makefile | 1 drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c | 907 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/dma-buf/fence.c | 431 +++++++++++ drivers/dma-buf/reservation.c | 477 +++++++++++++ drivers/dma-buf/seqno-fence.c | 73 ++ drivers/gpu/drm/armada/armada_gem.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/drm_prime.c | 8 drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_dmabuf.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_dmabuf.c | 3 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c | 1 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_gem.h | 1 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_prime.c | 7 drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_gem_dmabuf.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_prime.c | 8 drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/gem.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_object.c | 2 drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-dma-contig.c | 2 drivers/staging/android/Kconfig | 1 drivers/staging/android/Makefile | 2 drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c | 3 drivers/staging/android/sw_sync.c | 6 drivers/staging/android/sync.c | 913 ++++++++---------------- drivers/staging/android/sync.h | 79 +- drivers/staging/android/sync_debug.c | 247 ++++++ drivers/staging/android/trace/sync.h | 12 include/drm/drmP.h | 3 include/linux/dma-buf.h | 21 - include/linux/fence.h | 360 +++++++++ include/linux/reservation.h | 82 ++ include/linux/seqno-fence.h | 116 +++ include/trace/events/fence.h | 128 +++ 39 files changed, 3258 insertions(+), 1451 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 drivers/base/dma-buf.c delete mode 100644 drivers/base/reservation.c create mode 100644 drivers/dma-buf/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c create mode 100644 drivers/dma-buf/fence.c create mode 100644 drivers/dma-buf/reservation.c create mode 100644 drivers/dma-buf/seqno-fence.c create mode 100644 drivers/staging/android/sync_debug.c create mode 100644 include/linux/fence.h create mode 100644 include/linux/seqno-fence.h create mode 100644 include/trace/events/fence.h -- Signature

[REPOST PATCH 0/8] fence synchronization patches

by Maarten Lankhorst

The following series implements fence and converts dma-buf and android sync to use it. Patch 5 and 6 add support for polling to dma-buf, blocking until all fences are signaled. Patch 7 and 8 provide some helpers, and allow use of RCU in the reservation api. The helpers make it easier to convert ttm, and make dealing with rcu less painful. Patches slightly updated to fix compilation with armada and new atomic primitives, but otherwise identical. --- Maarten Lankhorst (8): fence: dma-buf cross-device synchronization (v17) seqno-fence: Hardware dma-buf implementation of fencing (v5) dma-buf: use reservation objects android: convert sync to fence api, v5 reservation: add support for fences to enable cross-device synchronisation dma-buf: add poll support, v3 reservation: update api and add some helpers reservation: add suppport for read-only access using rcu Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl | 3 drivers/base/Kconfig | 9 drivers/base/Makefile | 2 drivers/base/dma-buf.c | 168 ++++ drivers/base/fence.c | 468 ++++++++++++ drivers/base/reservation.c | 440 ++++++++++++ drivers/gpu/drm/armada/armada_gem.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/drm_prime.c | 8 drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_dmabuf.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_dmabuf.c | 3 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c | 1 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_gem.h | 1 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_prime.c | 7 drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_gem_dmabuf.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_prime.c | 8 drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/gem.c | 2 drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_object.c | 2 drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-dma-contig.c | 2 drivers/staging/android/Kconfig | 1 drivers/staging/android/Makefile | 2 drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c | 3 drivers/staging/android/sw_sync.c | 6 drivers/staging/android/sync.c | 913 ++++++++---------------- drivers/staging/android/sync.h | 79 +- drivers/staging/android/sync_debug.c | 247 ++++++ drivers/staging/android/trace/sync.h | 12 include/drm/drmP.h | 3 include/linux/dma-buf.h | 21 - include/linux/fence.h | 355 +++++++++ include/linux/reservation.h | 82 ++ include/linux/seqno-fence.h | 119 +++ include/trace/events/fence.h | 128 +++ 33 files changed, 2435 insertions(+), 668 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/base/fence.c create mode 100644 drivers/staging/android/sync_debug.c create mode 100644 include/linux/fence.h create mode 100644 include/linux/seqno-fence.h create mode 100644 include/trace/events/fence.h -- Signature
