Maybe, but I don't have an immediate thought on this. CXL "MMIO" that is cachable is a thing but we can also label it as CPU_MEMORY. We might have something for CC shared/protected memory down the road. Thanks, Jason

And you think there is nothing to gain with the option of keeping the rcu_read_unlock() to after signalling? Ie. why not plug a potential race if we can for no negative effect. I thought quite a bit over that, but at least of hand I can't come up with a reason why we should do this. The signaling path doesn't need the RCU read side lock as far as I can see.

[RFC PATCH 0/2] locking/ww_mutex, dma-buf/dma-resv: Improve detection of unheld locks

by Thomas Hellström

WW mutexes and dma-resv objects, which embed them, typically have a number of locks belocking to the same lock class. However code using them typically want to verify the locking on object granularity, not lock-class granularity. This series add ww_mutex functions to facilitate that, (patch 1) and utilizes these functions in the dma-resv lock checks.

This allows RDMA and other subsystems to import dma-buf FDs and build them into memory regions for PCI P2P operations. The series supports a use case for SPDK where a NVMe device will be owned by SPDK through VFIO but interacting with a RDMA device. The RDMA device may directly access the NVMe CMB or directly manipulate the NVMe device's doorbell using PCI P2P. However, as a general mechanism, it can support many other scenarios with VFIO. This dmabuf approach can be usable by iommufd as well for generic and safe P2P mappings. In addition to the SPDK use-case mentioned above, the capability added in this patch series can also be useful when a buffer (located in device memory such as VRAM) needs to be shared between any two dGPU devices or instances (assuming one of them is bound to VFIO PCI) as long as they are P2P DMA compatible. The implementation provides a revocable attachment mechanism using dma-buf move operations. MMIO regions are normally pinned as BARs don't change physical addresses, but access is revoked when the VFIO device is closed or a PCI reset is issued. This ensures kernel self-defense against potentially hostile userspace. The series includes significant refactoring of the PCI P2PDMA subsystem to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation features, making it more modular and suitable for VFIO use cases that don't need struct page support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The series is based originally on https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250307052248.405803-1-vivek.kasireddy@intel.c… but heavily rewritten to be based on DMA physical API. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The WIP branch can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git/log/?h=… Thanks --- Jason Gunthorpe (2): PCI/P2PDMA: Document DMABUF model vfio/nvgrace: Support get_dmabuf_phys Leon Romanovsky (7): PCI/P2PDMA: Separate the mmap() support from the core logic PCI/P2PDMA: Simplify bus address mapping API PCI/P2PDMA: Refactor to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation PCI/P2PDMA: Provide an access to pci_p2pdma_map_type() function dma-buf: provide phys_vec to scatter-gather mapping routine vfio/pci: Enable peer-to-peer DMA transactions by default vfio/pci: Add dma-buf export support for MMIO regions Vivek Kasireddy (2): vfio: Export vfio device get and put registration helpers vfio/pci: Share the core device pointer while invoking feature functions Documentation/driver-api/pci/p2pdma.rst | 95 +++++++--- block/blk-mq-dma.c | 2 +- drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c | 235 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c | 4 +- drivers/pci/p2pdma.c | 186 ++++++++++++++----- drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig | 3 + drivers/vfio/pci/Makefile | 1 + drivers/vfio/pci/nvgrace-gpu/main.c | 56 ++++++ drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c | 5 + drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_config.c | 22 ++- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c | 53 ++++-- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_dmabuf.c | 315 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_priv.h | 23 +++ drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c | 2 + include/linux/dma-buf.h | 18 ++ include/linux/pci-p2pdma.h | 120 +++++++----- include/linux/vfio.h | 2 + include/linux/vfio_pci_core.h | 42 +++++ include/uapi/linux/vfio.h | 28 +++ kernel/dma/direct.c | 4 +- mm/hmm.c | 2 +- 21 files changed, 1078 insertions(+), 140 deletions(-) --- base-commit: dcb6fa37fd7bc9c3d2b066329b0d27dedf8becaa change-id: 20251016-dmabuf-vfio-6cef732adf5a Best regards, -- Leon Romanovsky <leonro(a)nvidia.com>

MMIO regions are normally pinned as BARs don't change physical addresses, but access is revoked when the VFIO device is closed or a PCI reset is issued. This ensures kernel self-defense against potentially hostile userspace. The series includes significant refactoring of the PCI P2PDMA subsystem to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation features, making it more modular and suitable for VFIO use cases that don't need struct page support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The series is based originally on https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250307052248.405803-1-vivek.kasireddy@intel.c… but heavily rewritten to be based on DMA physical API. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The WIP branch can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git/log/?h=… Thanks --- Jason Gunthorpe (2): PCI/P2PDMA: Document DMABUF model vfio/nvgrace: Support get_dmabuf_phys Leon Romanovsky (7): PCI/P2PDMA: Separate the mmap() support from the core logic PCI/P2PDMA: Simplify bus address mapping API PCI/P2PDMA: Refactor to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation PCI/P2PDMA: Provide an access to pci_p2pdma_map_type() function dma-buf: provide phys_vec to scatter-gather mapping routine vfio/pci: Enable peer-to-peer DMA transactions by default vfio/pci: Add dma-buf export support for MMIO regions Vivek Kasireddy (2): vfio: Export vfio device get and put registration helpers vfio/pci: Share the core device pointer while invoking feature functions Documentation/driver-api/pci/p2pdma.rst | 97 +++++++--- block/blk-mq-dma.c | 2 +- drivers/dma-buf/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf-mapping.c | 248 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c | 4 +- drivers/pci/p2pdma.c | 186 ++++++++++++++----- drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig | 3 + drivers/vfio/pci/Makefile | 1 + drivers/vfio/pci/nvgrace-gpu/main.c | 52 ++++++ drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c | 5 + drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_config.c | 22 ++- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c | 53 ++++-- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_dmabuf.c | 316 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_priv.h | 23 +++ drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c | 2 + include/linux/dma-buf-mapping.h | 17 ++ include/linux/dma-buf.h | 11 ++ include/linux/pci-p2pdma.h | 120 +++++++----- include/linux/vfio.h | 2 + include/linux/vfio_pci_core.h | 42 +++++ include/uapi/linux/vfio.h | 28 +++ kernel/dma/direct.c | 4 +- mm/hmm.c | 2 +- 23 files changed, 1101 insertions(+), 141 deletions(-) --- base-commit: dcb6fa37fd7bc9c3d2b066329b0d27dedf8becaa change-id: 20251016-dmabuf-vfio-6cef732adf5a Best regards, -- Leon Romanovsky <leonro(a)nvidia.com>
