Hello,
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

This patch adds code for automated assignment of reserved memory regions to struct device. reserved_mem->ops->device_init()/device_cleanup() callbacks are called to perform reserved memory driver specific initialization and cleanup

Rejecting the base/size right out if the alignment isn't correct is difficult to work with. There's no guarantee that a dynamically placed region will end up with the correct alignment or that the size was specified properly. This means the best option is manually rounding up the sizes and specifying the alignment in devicetree. But the alignment will also change if you boot with or without CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES for example so there is no way to guarantee what is specified in devicetree will work. Perhaps this is a limitation of how the devicetree is setup but it seems like a big pain to get correct and prone to breakage if the kernel changes.

Can we add a check for 'no-map' property here? At least on ARM, the lack of the no-map property causes the ioremap to fail.

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>; };
Longer term, I think it would be good if we didn't have to use no-map with the coherent memory. With no-map and dma-coherent.c right now, not only do you lose out on the physical memory space, you also have to give up the same amount of vmalloc space for mapping. On arm32, if you have the default 240MB vmalloc space, 64M is ~25% of the vmalloc space. At least on arm you can make this up by remapping the memory as coherent.
I haven't seen this picked up anywhere yet so you are welcome to add

Hello,
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.

Right, when the code reaches mainline I will add code which will remove no-map requirement. Changing memory attributes can be handled in this case the same way as for CMA.
