Dear All,
During the Exynos DRM GEM rework and fixing the issues in the. drm_prime_sg_to_page_addr_arrays() function [1] I've noticed that most drivers in DRM framework incorrectly use nents and orig_nents entries of the struct sg_table.
In case of the most DMA-mapping implementations exchanging those two entries or using nents for all loops on the scatterlist is harmless, because they both have the same value. There exists however a DMA-mapping implementations, for which such incorrect usage breaks things. The nents returned by dma_map_sg() might be lower than the nents passed as its parameter and this is perfectly fine. DMA framework or IOMMU is allowed to join consecutive chunks while mapping if such operation is supported by the underlying HW (bus, bridge, IOMMU, etc). Example of the case where dma_map_sg() might return 1 'DMA' chunk for the 4 'physical' pages is described here [2]
The DMA-mapping framework documentation [3] states that dma_map_sg() returns the numer of the created entries in the DMA address space. However the subsequent calls to dma_sync_sg_for_{device,cpu} and dma_unmap_sg must be called with the original number of entries passed to dma_map_sg. The common pattern in DRM drivers were to assign the dma_map_sg() return value to sg_table->nents and use that value for the subsequent calls to dma_sync_sg_* or dma_unmap_sg functions. Also the code iterated over nents times to access the pages stored in the processed scatterlist, while it should use orig_nents as the numer of the page entries.
I've tried to identify all such incorrect usage of sg_table->nents and this is a result of my research. It looks that the incorrect pattern has been copied over the many drivers mainly in the DRM subsystem. Too bad in most cases it even worked correctly if the system used a simple, linear DMA-mapping implementation, for which swapping nents and orig_nents doesn't make any difference. To avoid similar issues in the future, I've introduced a common wrappers for DMA-mapping calls, which operate directly on the sg_table objects. I've also added wrappers for iterating over the scatterlists stored in the sg_table objects and applied them where possible. This, together with some common DRM prime helpers, allowed me to almost get rid of all nents/orig_nents usage in the drivers. I hope that such change makes the code robust, easier to follow and copy/paste safe.
The biggest TODO is DRM/i915 driver and I don't feel brave enough to fix it fully. The driver creatively uses sg_table->orig_nents to store the size of the allocate scatterlist and ignores the number of the entries returned by dma_map_sg function. In this patchset I only fixed the sg_table objects exported by dmabuf related functions. I hope that I didn't break anything there.
Patches are based on top of Linux next-20200825. The required changes to DMA-mapping framework has been already merged to v5.8-rc1.
I would like ask for merging of the 1-27 patches via DRM misc tree.
Best regards, Marek Szyprowski
