[PATCH] drm/exynos: Add check for IOMMU while passing physically continous memory flag

[PATCH] drm/exynos: Add check for IOMMU while passing physically continous memory flag

[Vikas Sajjan]

While trying to get boot-logo up on exynos5420 SMDK which has eDP panel
connected with resolution 2560x1600, following error occured even with
IOMMU enabled:
[0.880000] [drm:lowlevel_buffer_allocate] *ERROR* failed to allocate buffer.
[0.890000] [drm] Initialized exynos 1.0.0 20110530 on minor 0

This patch fixes the issue by adding a check for IOMMU.

While noncontig memory might be used for devices that support IOMMU, there 
should be no problem with using contig memory for them, so this seems more 
like masking the original problem rather than tracking it down.

Could you check why the allocation fails when requesting contiguous 
memory?

Tomasz

it is probably a good idea to not require contig memory when it is not
needed for performance or functionality (and if it is only
performance, then fallback gracefully to non-contig).. but yeah, would
be good to know if this is masking another issue all the same

Whats happening with CONTIG flag and with IOMMU,  is

 __iommu_alloc_buffer() ---> dma_alloc_from_contiguous() and in this
function it fails at
this condition check  if (pageno >= cma->count)

So I tried increasing the CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES to 24,  this check
succeeds and it works well without my patch.

But what about the case where CONFIG_CMA is disabled , yet i want
bigger memory for a device.
 I think using IOMMU we can achieve this.

 correct me, if i am wrong.

This is probably fine. I'm not sure about performance aspects of using 
noncontig memory as framebuffer, though. This needs to be checked and if 
there is some performance penalty, I would make noncontig allocation a 
fallback case, if contig fails, as Rob has suggested.

Also I think you should adjust the commit message to say that non-
contiguous memory can be used when IOMMU is supported, so there is no need 
to force contiguous allocations, since this is not a bug fix, but rather a 
feature this patch is adding.

I'm on summer vacation so I'm afraid that I cannot test and look into it
but I guess you guy didn't declare CMA region for Exynos drm. And in this
case, the size of CMA declared region is 16MB as default. That is why works
well after increasing default size, CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES, to 24MB. And I
mentioned long time ago, we are required to use physically contiguous
memory in case that bootloader uses physically contiguous memory for its
own framebuffer, and kernel wants to share the bootloader's framebuffer
region to resolve flickering issue while booted; that is required for
product. And one question, is there any reason that you guy should use
non-contiguous memory for framebuffer with iommu?

yeah, we could not allocate CMA region for FIMD, because the function
dma_declare_contiguous() needs "dev" as the first argument and we have
access to "dev" node only if it is NON-DT way of probing like the way
it is done in arch/arm/mach-davinci/devices-da8xx.c
But now, since the probing is through DT way, there is NO way ( Let me
know if something is newly added ) to call dma_declare_contiguous()
and reserve CMA region .

we don't have any specific requirement for NON_CONTIG or CONTIG
memory, but only requirement was to allocate a bigger memory like (
2560 * 1600 * 4 ) for FB.

But as Rob suggested, we should have fall-back case if CONTIG memory
allocation fails, as below

See this patch series [1]. We have have been using this kind of bindings
for assigning physically contiguous memory regions to the Exynos 
multimedia devices, instead of what's currently in mainline where same
physical addresses are repeated in dts for various boards without much
thought. And where custom device specific parsing code is required at 
arch side.

It is failing if i am giving bigger resolution like 2560x1600, but if
i try for 1280x780 resolution, it   works fine.
Looks like arm_dma_alloc() is NOT able to allocate bigger buffer of
size 2560 * 1600 * 4.
Hence i used flag = EXYNOS_BO_NONCONTIG;

You may need to increase the zoneorder (from current default 11 to say
13) if you need large physically contiguous pages.
However I am not sure if it is recommended.

This comment is now wrongly placed. Please use EXYNOS_BO_CONTIG instead of 0
and get rid of this comment altogether.
