Hello everyone,
This patchset is an incremental patch to patchset created by Sumit Semwal [1].
The patches are dedicated to help find a better solution for support of buffer
sharing by V4L2 API. It is expected to start discussion on the final
installment for dma-buf in vb2-dma-contig allocator. Current version of the
patches contain little documentation. It is going to be fixed after achieving
consensus about design for buffer exporting. Moreover the API between vb2-core
and the allocator should be revised.
The patches were successfully tested to cooperate with EXYNOS DRM driver using
DMABUF mechanism.
Please note, that the amount of changes to vb2-dma-contig.c was significant
making the difference patch very difficult to read.
The patchset makes use of dma_get_pages extension for DMA API, which is posted
on a top of dma-mapping patches by Marek Szyprowski [4] [5].
The tree, that contains all needed patches, can be found here [6].
v2:
- extended VIDIOC_EXPBUF argument from integer memoffset to struct
v4l2_exportbuffer
- added patch that breaks DMABUF spec on (un)map_atachment callcacks but allows
to work with existing implementation of DMABUF prime in DRM
- all dma-contig code refactoring patches were squashed
- bugfixes
v1: List of changes since [1].
- support for DMA api extension dma_get_pages, the function is used to retrieve
pages used to create DMA mapping.
- small fixes/code cleanup to videobuf2
- added prepare and finish callbacks to vb2 allocators, it is used keep
consistency between dma-cpu acess to the memory (by Marek Szyprowski)
- support for exporting of DMABUF buffer in V4L2 and Videobuf2, originated from
[3].
- support for dma-buf exporting in vb2-dma-contig allocator
- support for DMABUF for s5p-tv and s5p-fimc (capture interface) drivers,
originated from [3]
- changed handling for userptr buffers (by Marek Szyprowski, Andrzej
Pietrasiewicz)
- let mmap method to use dma_mmap_writecombine call (by Marek Szyprowski)

1.7.5.4
Hello eveyone,
On Linaro Memory Management meeting in Budapest (May 2011) we have
discussed about the design of DMA mapping framework. We tried to
identify the drawbacks and limitations as well as to provide some a
solution for them. The discussion was mainly about ARM architecture, but
some of the conclusions need to be applied to cross-architecture code.
The first issue we identified is the fact that on some platform (again,
mainly ARM) there are several functions for allocating DMA buffers:
dma_alloc_coherent, dma_alloc_writecombine and dma_alloc_noncoherent
(not functional now). For each of them there is a match dma_free_*
function. This gives us quite a lot of functions in the public API and
complicates things when we need to have several different
implementations for different devices selected in runtime (if IOMMU
controller is available only for a few devices in the system). Also the
drivers which use less common variants are less portable because of the
lacks of dma_alloc_writecombine on other architectures.
The solution we found is to introduce a new public dma mapping functions
with additional attributes argument: dma_alloc_attrs and
dma_free_attrs(). This way all different kinds of architecture specific
buffer mappings can be hidden behind the attributes without the need of
creating several versions of dma_alloc_ function.
dma_alloc_coherent() can be wrapped on top of new dma_alloc_attrs() with
NULL attrs parameter. dma_alloc_writecombine and dma_alloc_noncoherent
can be implemented as a simple wrappers which sets attributes to
DMA_ATTRS_WRITECOMBINE or DMA_ATTRS_NON_CONSISTENT respectively. These
new attributes will be implemented only on the architectures that really
support them, the others will simply ignore them defaulting to the
dma_alloc_coherent equivalent.
The next step in dma mapping framework update is the introduction of
dma_mmap/dma_mmap_attrs() function. There are a number of drivers
(mainly V4L2 and ALSA) that only exports the DMA buffers to user space.
Creating a userspace mapping with correct page attributes is not an easy
task for the driver. Also the DMA-mapping framework is the only place
where the complete information about the allocated pages is available,
especially if the implementation uses IOMMU controller to provide a
contiguous buffer in DMA address space which is scattered in physical
memory space.
Usually these drivers don't touch the buffer data at all, so the mapping
in kernel virtual address space is not needed. We can introduce
DMA_ATTRIB_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute which lets kernel to skip/ignore
creation of kernel virtual mapping. This way we can save previous
vmalloc area and simply some mapping operation on a few architectures.
This patch series is a preparation for the above changes in the public
dma mapping API. The main goal is to modify dma_map_ops structure and
let all users to use for implementation of the new public funtions.
The proof-of-concept patches for ARM architecture have been already
posted a few times and now they are working resonably well. They perform
conversion to dma_map_ops based implementation and add support for
generic IOMMU-based dma mapping implementation. To get them merged we
first need to get acceptance for the changes in the common,
cross-architecture structures. More information about these patches can
be found in the following threads:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg19856.htmlhttp://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg21241.htmlhttp://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-mm-sig/2011-September/000571.htmlhttp://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-mm-sig/2011-September/000577.htmlhttp://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg25490.html
The patches are prepared on top of Linux Kernel v3.2-rc6. I would
appreciate any comments and help with getting this patch series into
linux-next tree.
The idea apllied in this patch set have been also presented during the
Kernel Summit 2011 and ELC-E 2011 in Prague, in the presentation 'ARM
DMA-Mapping Framework Redesign and IOMMU integration'.
I'm really sorry if I missed any of the relevant architecture mailing
lists. I've did my best to include everyone. Feel free to forward this
patchset to all interested developers and maintainers. I've already feel
like a nasty spammer.
Best regards
