[PATCH v5 5/7] drm/amdgpu: get rid of amdgpu_ttm_clear_buffer

by Pierre-Eric Pelloux-Prayer

It's doing the same thing as amdgpu_fill_buffer(src_data=0), so drop it. The only caveat is that amdgpu_res_cleared() return value is only valid right after allocation. --- v2: introduce new "bool consider_clear_status" arg --- Signed-off-by: Pierre-Eric Pelloux-Prayer <pierre-eric.pelloux-prayer(a)amd.com> --- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c | 16 ++-- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ttm.c | 88 +++++----------------- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ttm.h | 6 +- 3 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 78 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c index 66c20dd46d12..d0884bbffa75 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c @@ -717,13 +717,17 @@ int amdgpu_bo_create(struct amdgpu_device *adev, bo->tbo.resource->mem_type == TTM_PL_VRAM) { struct dma_fence *fence; - r = amdgpu_ttm_clear_buffer(bo, bo->tbo.base.resv, &fence); + r = amdgpu_fill_buffer(amdgpu_ttm_next_clear_entity(adev), + bo, 0, NULL, &fence, + true, AMDGPU_KERNEL_JOB_ID_TTM_CLEAR_BUFFER); if (unlikely(r)) goto fail_unreserve; - dma_resv_add_fence(bo->tbo.base.resv, fence, - DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL); - dma_fence_put(fence); + if (fence) { + dma_resv_add_fence(bo->tbo.base.resv, fence, + DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL); + dma_fence_put(fence); + } } if (!bp->resv) amdgpu_bo_unreserve(bo); @@ -1326,8 +1330,8 @@ void amdgpu_bo_release_notify(struct ttm_buffer_object *bo) goto out; r = amdgpu_fill_buffer(amdgpu_ttm_next_clear_entity(adev), - abo, 0, &bo->base._resv, - &fence, AMDGPU_KERNEL_JOB_ID_CLEAR_ON_RELEASE); + abo, 0, &bo->base._resv, &fence, + false, AMDGPU_KERNEL_JOB_ID_CLEAR_ON_RELEASE); if (WARN_ON(r)) goto out; diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ttm.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ttm.c index 648ad344e89c..a3d0998b8cec 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ttm.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ttm.c @@ -418,7 +418,7 @@ static int amdgpu_move_blit(struct ttm_buffer_object *bo, (abo->flags & AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_VRAM_WIPE_ON_RELEASE)) { struct dma_fence *wipe_fence = NULL; r = amdgpu_fill_buffer(entity, abo, 0, NULL, &wipe_fence, - AMDGPU_KERNEL_JOB_ID_MOVE_BLIT); + false, AMDGPU_KERNEL_JOB_ID_MOVE_BLIT); if (r) { goto error; } else if (wipe_fence) { @@ -2572,76 +2572,25 @@ static int amdgpu_ttm_fill_mem(struct amdgpu_device *adev, } /** - * amdgpu_ttm_clear_buffer - clear memory buffers - * @bo: amdgpu buffer object - * @resv: reservation object - * @fence: dma_fence associated with the operation + * amdgpu_fill_buffer - fill a buffer with a given value + * @entity: entity to use + * @bo: the bo to fill + * @src_data: the value to set + * @resv: fences contained in this reservation will be used as dependencies. + * @out_fence: the fence from the last clear will be stored here.

[PATCH v4 0/8] dma-buf: heaps: Turn heaps into modules

by Maxime Ripard

Hi, The recent introduction of heaps in the optee driver [1] made possible the creation of heaps as modules. It's generally a good idea if possible, including for the already existing system and CMA heaps. The system one is pretty trivial, the CMA one is a bit more involved, especially since we have a call from kernel/dma/contiguous.c to the CMA heap code. This was solved by turning the logic around and making the CMA heap call into the contiguous DMA code.

[PATCH V2] i2c: qcom-geni: Avoid extra TX DMA TRE for single read message in GPI mode

by Aniket Randive

In GPI mode, the I2C GENI driver programs an extra TX DMA transfer descriptor (TRE) on the TX channel when handling a single read message. This results in an unintended write phase being issued on the I2C bus, even though a read transaction does not require any TX data. For a single-byte read, the correct hardware sequence consists of the CONFIG and GO commands followed by a single RX DMA TRE. Programming an additional TX DMA TRE is redundant, causes unnecessary DMA buffer mapping on the TX channel, and may lead to incorrect bus behavior. Update the transfer logic to avoid programming a TX DMA TRE for single read messages in GPI mode.

[PATCH RFC 00/18] accel/qda: Introduce Qualcomm DSP Accelerator driver

by Ekansh Gupta

This patch series introduces the Qualcomm DSP Accelerator (QDA) driver, a modern DRM-based accelerator implementation for Qualcomm Hexagon DSPs. The driver provides a standardized interface for offloading computational tasks to DSPs found on Qualcomm SoCs, supporting all DSP domains (ADSP, CDSP, SDSP, GDSP). The QDA driver is designed as an alternative for the FastRPC driver in drivers/misc/, offering improved resource management, better integration with standard kernel subsystems, and alignment with the Linux kernel's Compute Accelerators framework. User-space staging branch ============ https://github.com/qualcomm/fastrpc/tree/accel/staging Key Features ============ * Standard DRM accelerator interface via /dev/accel/accelN * GEM-based buffer management with DMA-BUF import/export support * IOMMU-based memory isolation using per-process context banks * FastRPC protocol implementation for DSP communication * RPMsg transport layer for reliable message passing * Support for all DSP domains (ADSP, CDSP, SDSP, GDSP) * Comprehensive IOCTL interface for DSP operations High-Level Architecture Differences with Existing FastRPC Driver ================================================================= The QDA driver represents a significant architectural departure from the existing FastRPC driver (drivers/misc/fastrpc.c), addressing several key limitations while maintaining protocol compatibility: 1. DRM Accelerator Framework Integration - FastRPC: Custom character device (/dev/fastrpc-*) - QDA: Standard DRM accel device (/dev/accel/accelN) - Benefit: Leverages established DRM infrastructure for device management. 2. Memory Management - FastRPC: Custom memory allocator with ION/DMA-BUF integration - QDA: Native GEM objects with full PRIME support - Benefit: Seamless buffer sharing using standard DRM mechanisms 3. IOMMU Context Bank Management - FastRPC: Direct IOMMU domain manipulation, limited isolation - QDA: Custom compute bus (qda_cb_bus_type) with proper device model - Benefit: Each CB device is a proper struct device with IOMMU group support, enabling better isolation and resource tracking. - https://lore.kernel.org/all/245d602f-3037-4ae3-9af9-d98f37258aae@oss.qualco… 4. Memory Manager Architecture - FastRPC: Monolithic allocator - QDA: Pluggable memory manager with backend abstraction - Benefit: Currently uses DMA-coherent backend, easily extensible for future memory types (e.g., carveout, CMA) 5. Transport Layer - FastRPC: Direct RPMsg integration in core driver - QDA: Abstracted transport layer (qda_rpmsg.c) - Benefit: Clean separation of concerns, easier to add alternative transports if needed 8. Code Organization - FastRPC: ~3000 lines in single file - QDA: Modular design across multiple files (~4600 lines total) * qda_drv.c: Core driver and DRM integration * qda_gem.c: GEM object management * qda_memory_manager.c: Memory and IOMMU management * qda_fastrpc.c: FastRPC protocol implementation * qda_rpmsg.c: Transport layer * qda_cb.c: Context bank device management - Benefit: Better maintainability, clearer separation of concerns 9. UAPI Design - FastRPC: Custom IOCTL interface - QDA: DRM-style IOCTLs with proper versioning support - Benefit: Follows DRM conventions, easier userspace integration 10. Documentation - FastRPC: Minimal in-tree documentation - QDA: Comprehensive documentation in Documentation/accel/qda/ - Benefit: Better developer experience, clearer API contracts 11. Buffer Reference Mechanism - FastRPC: Uses buffer file descriptors (FDs) for all book-keeping in both kernel and DSP - QDA: Uses GEM handles for kernel-side management, providing better integration with DRM subsystem - Benefit: Leverages DRM GEM infrastructure for reference counting, lifetime management, and integration with other DRM components Key Technical Improvements =========================== * Proper device model: CB devices are real struct device instances on a custom bus, enabling proper IOMMU group management and power management integration * Reference-counted IOMMU devices: Multiple file descriptors from the same process share a single IOMMU device, reducing overhead * GEM-based buffer lifecycle: Automatic cleanup via DRM GEM reference counting, eliminating many resource leak scenarios * Modular memory backends: The memory manager supports pluggable backends, currently implementing DMA-coherent allocations with SID-prefixed addresses for DSP firmware * Context-based invocation tracking: XArray-based context management with proper synchronization and cleanup Patch Series Organization ========================== Patches 1-2: Driver skeleton and documentation Patches 3-6: RPMsg transport and IOMMU/CB infrastructure Patches 7-9: DRM device registration and basic IOCTL Patches 10-12: GEM buffer management and PRIME support Patches 13-17: FastRPC protocol implementation (attach, invoke, create, map/unmap) Patch 18: MAINTAINERS entry Open Items =========== The following items are identified as open items: 1. Privilege Level Management - Currently, daemon processes and user processes have the same access level as both use the same accel device node. This needs to be addressed as daemons attach to privileged DSP PDs and require higher privilege levels for system-level operations - Seeking guidance on the best approach: separate device nodes, capability-based checks, or DRM master/authentication mechanisms 2. UAPI Compatibility Layer - Add UAPI compat layer to facilitate migration of client applications from existing FastRPC UAPI to the new QDA accel driver UAPI, ensuring smooth transition for existing userspace code - Seeking guidance on implementation approach: in-kernel translation layer, userspace wrapper library, or hybrid solution 3. Documentation Improvements - Add detailed IOCTL usage examples - Document DSP firmware interface requirements - Create migration guide from existing FastRPC 4. Per-Domain Memory Allocation - Develop new userspace API to support memory allocation on a per domain basis, enabling domain-specific memory management and optimization 5. Audio and Sensors PD Support - The current patch series does not handle Audio PD and Sensors PD functionalities. These specialized protection domains require additional support for real-time constraints and power management Interface Compatibility ======================== The QDA driver maintains compatibility with existing FastRPC infrastructure: * Device Tree Bindings: The driver uses the same device tree bindings as the existing FastRPC driver, ensuring no changes are required to device tree sources. The "qcom,fastrpc" compatible string and child node structure remain unchanged. * Userspace Interface: While the driver provides a new DRM-based UAPI, the underlying FastRPC protocol and DSP firmware interface remain compatible. This ensures that DSP firmware and libraries continue to work without modification. * Migration Path: The modular design allows for gradual migration, where both drivers can coexist during the transition period. Applications can be migrated incrementally to the new UAPI with the help of the planned compatibility layer.

[PATCH v3 0/6] dma-buf: heaps: add coherent reserved-memory heap

by Albert Esteve

This patch series adds a new dma-buf heap driver that exposes coherent, non‑reusable reserved-memory regions as named heaps, so userspace can explicitly allocate buffers from those device‑specific pools. Motivation: we want cgroup accounting for all userspace‑visible buffer allocations (DRM, v4l2, dma‑buf heaps, etc.). That’s hard to do when drivers call dma_alloc_attrs() directly because the accounting controller (memcg vs dmem) is ambiguous. The long‑term plan is to steer those paths toward dma‑buf heaps, where each heap can unambiguously charge a single controller. To reach that goal, we need a heap backend for each dma_alloc_attrs() memory type. CMA and system heaps already exist; coherent reserved‑memory was the missing piece, since many SoCs define dedicated, device‑local coherent pools in DT under /reserved-memory using "shared-dma-pool" with non‑reusable regions (i.e., not CMA) that are carved out exclusively for coherent DMA and are currently only usable by in‑kernel drivers. Because these regions are device‑dependent, each heap instance binds a heap device to its reserved‑mem region via a newly introduced helper function -namely, of_reserved_mem_device_init_with_mem()- so coherent allocations use the correct dev->dma_mem. Charging to cgroups for these buffers is intentionally left out to keep review focused on the new heap; I plan to follow up based on Eric’s [1] and Maxime’s [2] work on dmem charging from userspace. This series also makes the new heap driver modular, in line with the CMA heap change in [3].

[PATCH] udmabuf: fix DMA direction mismatch in release_udmabuf()

by Mikhail Gavrilov

begin_cpu_udmabuf() maps the sg_table with the caller-provided direction (e.g., DMA_TO_DEVICE for a write-only sync), and caches it in ubuf->sg for reuse. However, release_udmabuf() always unmaps this sg_table with a hardcoded DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL, regardless of the direction that was originally used for the mapping. With CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y this produces: DMA-API: misc udmabuf: device driver frees DMA memory with different direction [device address=0x000000044a123000] [size=4096 bytes] [mapped with DMA_TO_DEVICE] [unmapped with DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL] The issue was found during video playback when GStreamer performed a write-only DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC on a udmabuf. It can be reproduced with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y by creating a udmabuf from a memfd, performing a write-only sync (DMA_BUF_SYNC_WRITE without DMA_BUF_SYNC_READ), and closing the file descriptor. Fix this by storing the DMA direction used when the sg_table is first created in begin_cpu_udmabuf(), and passing that same direction to put_sg_table() in release_udmabuf().

[RFC v2 PATCH 00/10] vfio/pci: Add mmap() for DMABUFs

by Matt Evans

Hi all, There were various suggestions in the September 2025 thread "[TECH TOPIC] vfio, iommufd: Enabling user space drivers to vend more granular access to client processes" [0], and LPC discussions, around improving the situation for multi-process userspace driver designs. This RFC series implements some of these ideas. (Thanks for feedback on v1! Revised series, with changes noted inline.) Background: Multi-process USDs ============================== The userspace driver scenario discussed in that thread involves a primary process driving a PCIe function through VFIO/iommufd, which manages the function-wide ownership/lifecycle. The function is designed to provide multiple distinct programming interfaces (for example, several independent MMIO register frames in one function), and the primary process delegates control of these interfaces to multiple independent client processes (which do the actual work). This scenario clearly relies on a HW design that provides appropriate isolation between the programming interfaces. The two key needs are: 1. Mechanisms to safely delegate a subset of the device MMIO resources to a client process without over-sharing wider access (or influence over whole-device activities, such as reset). 2. Mechanisms to allow a client process to do its own iommufd management w.r.t. its address space, in a way that's isolated from DMA relating to other clients. mmap() of VFIO DMABUFs ====================== This RFC addresses #1 in "vfio/pci: Support mmap() of a VFIO DMABUF", implementing the proposals in [0] to add mmap() support to the existing VFIO DMABUF exporter. This enables a userspace driver to define DMABUF ranges corresponding to sub-ranges of a BAR, and grant a given client (via a shared fd) the capability to access (only) those sub-ranges. The VFIO device fds would be kept private to the primary process. All the client can do with that fd is map (or iomap via iommufd) that specific subset of resources, and the impact of bugs/malice is contained. (We'll follow up on #2 separately, as a related-but-distinct problem. PASIDs are one way to achieve per-client isolation of DMA; another could be sharing of a single IOVA space via 'constrained' iommufds.) New in v2: To achieve this, the existing VFIO BAR mmap() path is converted to use DMABUFs behind the scenes, in "vfio/pci: Convert BAR mmap() to use a DMABUF" plus new helper functions, as Jason/Christian suggested in the v1 discussion [3]. This means: - Both regular and new DMABUF BAR mappings share the same vm_ops, i.e. mmap()ing DMABUFs is a smaller change on top of the existing mmap(). - The zapping of mappings occurs via vfio_pci_dma_buf_move(), and the vfio_pci_zap_bars() originally paired with the _move()s can go away. Each DMABUF has a unique address_space. - It's a step towards future iommufd VFIO Type1 emulation implementing P2P, since iommufd can now get a DMABUF from a VA that it's mapping for IO; the VMAs' vm_file is that of the backing DMABUF. Revocation/reclaim ================== Mapping a BAR subset is useful, but the lifetime of access granted to a client needs to be managed well. For example, a protocol between the primary process and the client can indicate when the client is done, and when it's safe to reuse the resources elsewhere, but cleanup can't practically be cooperative. For robustness, we enable the driver to make the resources guaranteed-inaccessible when it chooses, so that it can re-assign them to other uses in future. "vfio/pci: Permanently revoke a DMABUF on request" adds a new VFIO device fd ioctl, VFIO_DEVICE_PCI_DMABUF_REVOKE. This takes a DMABUF fd parameter previously exported (from that device!) and permanently revokes the DMABUF. This notifies/detaches importers, zaps PTEs for any mappings, and guarantees no future attachment/import/map/access is possible by any means. A primary driver process would use this operation when the client's tenure ends to reclaim "loaned-out" MMIO interfaces, at which point the interfaces could be safely re-used. New in v2: ioctl() on VFIO driver fd, rather than DMABUF fd. A DMABUF is revoked using code common to vfio_pci_dma_buf_move(), selectively zapping mappings (after waiting for completion on the dma_buf_invalidate_mappings() request). BAR mapping access attributes ============================= Inspired by Alex [Mastro] and Jason's comments in [0] and Mahmoud's work in [1] with the goal of controlling CPU access attributes for VFIO BAR mappings (e.g. WC), we can decorate DMABUFs with access attributes that are then used by a mapping's PTEs. I've proposed reserving a field in struct vfio_device_feature_dma_buf's flags to specify an attribute for its ranges. Although that keeps the (UAPI) struct unchanged, it means all ranges in a DMABUF share the same attribute. I feel a single attribute-to-mmap() relation is logical/reasonable. An application can also create multiple DMABUFs to describe any BAR layout and mix of attributes. Tests ===== (Still sharing the [RFC ONLY] userspace test/demo program for context, not for merge.) It illustrates & tests various map/revoke cases, but doesn't use the existing VFIO selftests and relies on a (tweaked) QEMU EDU function. I'm (still) working on integrating the scenarios into the existing VFIO selftests. This code has been tested in mapping DMABUFs of single/multiple ranges, aliasing mmap()s, aliasing ranges across DMABUFs, vm_pgoff > 0, revocation, shutdown/cleanup scenarios, and hugepage mappings seem to work correctly. I've lightly tested WC mappings also (by observing resulting PTEs as having the correct attributes...). Fin === v2 is based on next-20260310 (to build on Leon's recent series "vfio: Wait for dma-buf invalidation to complete" [2]). Please share your thoughts! I'd like to de-RFC if we feel this approach is now fair.
