[PATCH v3 0/2] [media] videobuf2-dc: Add support for cacheable MMAP

[Thierry Escande]

Hi,

This series adds support for cacheable MMAP in DMA coherent allocator.

The first patch moves the vb2_dc_get_base_sgt() function above mmap
callbacks for calls introduced by the second patch. This avoids a
forward declaration.

Changes in v2:
- Put function move in a separate patch
- Added comments

Changes in v3:
- Remove redundant test on NO_KERNEL_MAPPING DMA attribute in mmap()

[PATCH v3 1/2] [media] videobuf2-dc: Move vb2_dc_get_base_sgt() above mmap callbacks

[Thierry Escande]

This patch moves vb2_dc_get_base_sgt() function above mmap buffers
callbacks, particularly vb2_dc_alloc() and vb2_dc_mmap() from where it
will be called for cacheable MMAP support introduced in the next patch.

[PATCH v3 2/2] [media] videobuf2-dc: Support cacheable MMAP

[Thierry Escande]

From: Heng-Ruey Hsu <henryhsu@chromium.org>

DMA allocations for MMAP type are uncached by default. But for
some cases, CPU has to access the buffers. ie: memcpy for format
converter. Supporting cacheable MMAP improves huge performance.

This patch enables cacheable memory for DMA coherent allocator in mmap
buffer allocation if non-consistent DMA attribute is set and kernel
mapping is present. Even if userspace doesn't mmap the buffer, sync
still should be happening if kernel mapping is present.
If not done in allocation, it is enabled when memory is mapped from
userspace (if non-consistent DMA attribute is set).

I'm sorry for late review. Sylwester kicked me for pending v4l2/vb2 patches
and I've just found this thread in my TODO folder.

The main question here if we want to merge incomplete solution or not. As
for now, there is no support in ARM/ARM64 for NON_CONSISTENT attribute.
Also none of the v4l2 drivers use it. Sadly support for NON_CONSISTENT
attribute is not fully implemented nor even defined in mainline.

I know that it works fine for some vendor kernel trees, but supporting it in
mainline was a bit controversial. There is no proper way to sync cache 
for such
buffers. Calling dma_sync_sg worked so far, but it has to be first agreed as
a proper DMA API.

DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT is the way to get the dma_alloc_noncoherent
semantics through the dma_alloc_attr API, and as such I think it is
pretty well defined, although the documentation in
Documentation/DMA-attributes.txt is really bad and we need to improve
it, by merging it with the dma_alloc_noncoherent description in
Documentation/DMA-API.txt. My series to remove dma_alloc_noncoherent
updates the latter to mention DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT, but
we should probably merge Documentation/DMA-API.txt,
Documentation/DMA-attributes.txt and Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt
into a single coherent document.

As documented in Documentation/DMA-API.txt the proper way to sync
noncoherent/nonconsistent regions is to call dma_cache_sync.  It seems
like it generally is the same as dma_sync_range/sg so if we could
eventually merge these APIs that should reduce the confusion further.

Right. I started conversion of dma_alloc_noncoherent to NON_CONSISTENT
DMA attribute, but later I got stuck at the details of cache 
synchronization.

Original dma_alloc_noncoherent utilized dma_cache_sync() function, which had
some flaws, which prevented me to continue that task and introduce it to ARM
architecture. The dma_alloc_noncoherent() and dma_cache_sync() API lacks
buffer ownership and imprecisely defines how and when the caches has to be
synchronized. dma_cache_sync() also lacks DMA address argument, what also
complicates potential lightweight implementation.

IMHO it would make sense to change it to work similar to the other
dma_sync_*_for_{cpu,device} functions, but I didn't find enough time to
finally take a try.

My conclusion of the dma_alloc_noncoherent() and dma_cache_sync() API
when it was introduced is that it's basically a completely broken
interface, and I've never seen any point to it.  Maybe some of that is
because it's badly documented - which in turn makes it badly designed
(because there's no specification detailing what it's supposed to be
doing.)

I'd like to see that thing die...

It's not exactly the best interface ever, so any improvement is welcome.

I've posted a series to kill dma_alloc_noncoherent in favor of
dma_alloc_attrs a short while ago, and a big chunk of it should have
made it into 4.12.  I plan to kill it off entirely for 4.13.

That leaves dma_cache_sync() - it's used by 6 drivers:

drivers/net/ethernet/i825xx/lasi_82596.c
drivers/net/ethernet/seeq/sgiseeq.c
drivers/scsi/53c700.c
drivers/scsi/sgiwd93.c
drivers/sh/maple/maple.c
drivers/tty/serial/mpsc.c

Those are used on parisc, mips for a few old SGI systems, the SH
dreamcast and powerpc marvell mv64x60 devices.

So it shouldn't be too hard to figure out if they could be moved
to the normal dma_sync_* calls.

On parisc dma_cache_sync is equivalent to dma_sync_single_for_cpu,
so that should be fine.

On mips the implementation of dma_sync_single_for_cpu is a little
more complicated, but both dma_sync_single_for_cpu and dma_cache_sync
end up calling __dma_sync_virtual, so they look like the same in
the end as well.

On SH sync_single_for_device is implemented using dma_cache_sync,
and there is no dma_sync_single_for_cpu.

On powerpc both dma_sync_single_for_cpu and dma_sync_single_for_device
are implemented using the same primitive as dma_cache_sync.

In short: killing off dma_cache_sync and using the existing and
better defined syncing primitives looks entirely feasible.

I'll add it to my TODO list for 4.13.

The ability to have cached mappings of MMAP buffers is strongly
desired, but I'm afraid not the way this patch does it.

First of all, it's not a decision for the driver to make, but for the
user space, depending on the access pattern it does. It also isn't
something specific to vb2-dma-contig only.

I remember Sakari had a series that attempted to solve this in a more
comprehensive way[1]. I remember it had some minor problems when I
reviewed it, but generally the idea seemed sane.

Sakari, do you have any plans to revive that work?
