[PATCH v2 0/7] drm/vram-helper: Lock GEM BOs while they are mapped

[PATCH v2 0/7] drm/vram-helper: Lock GEM BOs while they are mapped

[Thomas Zimmermann]

GEM VRAM helpers used to pin the BO in their implementation of vmap, so
that they could not be relocated. In a recent discussion, [1] it became
clear that this is incorrect and that vmap should rather repend on the
reservation lock to prevent relocation. This patchset addresses the issue.

Version 2 of the patchset is a significant rework. In particular, the
helper function drm_gem_vram_vmap_unlocked() is gone and importers now
acquire the reservation locks by themselves. I took Christian's A-bs only
for patches that were not affected.

Patches 1 and 2 prepare the ast cursor code for the later changes.

Patch 3 pushes the BO locking into callers of vmap and vunmap. Besides
the VRAM helpers, this affects ast, vboxvideo and the generic fbdev
emulation.

Patches 4 to 6 clean up afterwards. BO pinning is not required any longer
and the VRAM-internal helpers are not needed.

Patch 7 adds documentation to vmap and vunmap in struct dma_buf_ops. It
hopefully reflects the discussion on the patchset's version 1.

Tested on ast with GEM VRAM and also on mgag200 to verify that the fbdev
change does not interfere with GEM SHMEM.

v2:
	* make importers acquire resv locks by themselves
	* document dma-buf vamp/vunmap ops

Thomas Zimmermann (7):
  drm/ast: Don't pin cursor source BO explicitly during update
  drm/ast: Only map cursor BOs during updates
  drm/vram-helper: Move BO locking from vmap code into callers
  drm/vram-helper: Remove pinning from drm_gem_vram_{vmap,vunmap}()

[PATCH v2 1/7] drm/ast: Don't pin cursor source BO explicitly during update

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Vmapping the cursor source BO contains an implicit pin operation,
so there's no need to do this manually.

[PATCH v2 2/7] drm/ast: Only map cursor BOs during updates

[Thomas Zimmermann]

The HW cursor's BO used to be mapped permanently into the kernel's
address space. GEM's vmap operation will be protected by locks, and
we don't want to lock the BO's for an indefinate period of time.

Change the cursor code to map the HW BOs only during updates. The
vmap operation in VRAM helpers is cheap, as a once estabished mapping
is being reused until the BO actually moves. As the HW cursor BOs are
permanently pinned, they never move at all.

[PATCH v2 3/7] drm/vram-helper: Move BO locking from vmap code into callers

[Thomas Zimmermann]

[PATCH v2 3/7] drm/vram-helper: Move BO locking from vmap code into callers

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Implementations of the vmap/vunmap callbacks may expect that the caller
holds the reservation lock. Therefore push the locking from vmap and
vunmap into the callers.

This affects fbdev emulation, and cursor updates in ast and vboxvideo.
Ast and vboxvideo acquire the BO's reservation lock directly.

Fbdev emulation uses DRM client helpers for locking. This is solely done
for consistency with the rest of the interface. Fbdev emulation tries to
avoid calling GEM interfaces.

[PATCH v2 4/7] drm/vram-helper: Remove pinning from drm_gem_vram_{vmap,vunmap}()

[Thomas Zimmermann]

BO pinning was never meant to be part of a GEM object's vmap operation.
Remove it from the related code in VRAM helpers.

[PATCH v2 5/7] drm/vram-helper: Remove vmap reference counting

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Overlapping or nested mappings of the same BO are not allowed by the
semantics of the GEM vmap/vunmap operations. Concurent access to the
GEM object is prevented by reservation locks.

So we don't need the reference counter in the GEM VRAM object. Remove
it.

[PATCH v2 7/7] dma-buf: Write down some rules for vmap usage

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Dma-buf's vmap and vunmap callbacks are undocumented and various
exporters currently have slightly different semantics for them. Add
documentation on how to implement and use these interfaces correctly.

v2:
	* document vmap semantics in struct dma_buf_ops
	* add TODO item for reviewing and maybe fixing dma-buf exporters

+Enforce rules for dma-buf vmap and pin ops
+------------------------------------------
+
+Exporter implementations of vmap and pin in struct dma_buf_ops (and consequently
+struct drm_gem_object_funcs) use a variety of locking semantics. Some rely on
+the caller holding the dma-buf's reservation lock, some do their own locking,
+some don't require any locking. VRAM helpers even used to pin as part of vmap.
+
+We need to review each exporter and enforce the documented rules.

[PATCH v2 7/7] dma-buf: Write down some rules for vmap usage

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Dma-buf's vmap and vunmap callbacks are undocumented and various
exporters currently have slightly different semantics for them. Add
documentation on how to implement and use these interfaces correctly.

v2:
	* document vmap semantics in struct dma_buf_ops
	* add TODO item for reviewing and maybe fixing dma-buf exporters

+Enforce rules for dma-buf vmap and pin ops
+------------------------------------------
+
+Exporter implementations of vmap and pin in struct dma_buf_ops (and consequently
+struct drm_gem_object_funcs) use a variety of locking semantics. Some rely on
+the caller holding the dma-buf's reservation lock, some do their own locking,
+some don't require any locking. VRAM helpers even used to pin as part of vmap.
+
+We need to review each exporter and enforce the documented rules.

I still don't think this works, we're breaking dma_buf_vmap for everyone
else here.

I removed the text on the importer. These notes for callers in the docs 
are more or less a consequence of the exporter semantics.

I thought we at least agreed on the exporter semantics in the other 
thread, didn't we?

What I'm trying to do is to write dome some rules for exporters, even if 
not all exporters follow them.

Given the circumstances, we should leave out this patch from the patchset.

Best regards
Thomas

I removed the text on the importer. These notes for callers in the docs 
are more or less a consequence of the exporter semantics.

I thought we at least agreed on the exporter semantics in the other 
thread, didn't we?

What I'm trying to do is to write dome some rules for exporters, even if 
not all exporters follow them.

Given the circumstances, we should leave out this patch from the patchset.

Best regards
Thomas

Callers are importers, so I'm not seeing how that fixes anything.

This is a standard interface, everyone needs to follow the same rules. And
if they change, we need to make sure nothing breaks and we're not creating
issues.

In the past the rule was the dma_buf_vmap was allowed to take the
dma_resv_lock, and that the buffer should be pinned. Now some ttm drivers
didn't ever bother with the pinning, and mostly got away with that because
drm_prime helpers do the pinning by default at attach time, and most users
do call dma_buf_attach.

But if you look through dma-buf docs nothing ever said you have to do a
dummy attachment before you call dma_buf_vmap, that's just slightly crappy
implementations that didn't blow up yet.

> Given the circumstances, we should leave out this patch from the patchset.

So the defacto rules are already a big mess, but that's not a good excuse
to make it worse.

What I had in mind is that we split dma_buf_vmap up into two variants:

- The current one, which should guarantee that the buffer is pinned.
  Because that's what all current callers wanted, before the fbdev code
  started allowing non-pinned buffers.

- The new one, which allows vmapping with just dma_resv locked, and should
  have some caching in exporters.

Breaking code and then adding todos about that is kinda not so cool
approach here imo.

Also I guess ttm_bo_vmap should have a check that either the buffer is
pinned, or dma_resv_lock is held.

Cheers, Daniel

I had a patch for adding pin to radeon's implementation of vmap. [1] 
Christian told me to not do this; instead just get the lock in the fbdev 
code. His advise almost seems the opposite of what you're telling me here.

For the GEM VRAM helpers, that implicit pin in vmap gave me headaches. 
Because scanouts can only be done from VRAM, which is badly suited for 
exporting. So I ended up with an implicit pin that pins the buffer to 
whatever domain it currently is. I got away with it because GEM VRAM BOs 
are not sharable among devices; fbdev is the only user of that 
functionality and only pins for short periods of time.

I suspect that fixing TTM-based drivers by adding an implicit pin would 
result in a similar situation. Whatever domain it ends up pinning, some 
functionality might not be compatible with that.

Can we add an explicit pin operation to dma_buf_vmap() to enforce the 
semantics?

I think what Daniel suggests here is that we need to smoothly transition 
the code from making assumptions to having a straight interface where 
importers explicitly say when stuff is locked and when stuff is pinned.

I've started this with the attach interface by adding a new dynamic 
approach to that, but you probably need to carry on here with that for 
vmap as well.

When that is done we can migrate every exporter over to the new dynamic 
approach.

Correct, exactly that's the problem.

At least I would be fine with that. For now amdgpu is the only exporter 
who implements the explicit pin/unpin semantics anyway.

I think what Daniel suggests here is that we need to smoothly transition 
the code from making assumptions to having a straight interface where 
importers explicitly say when stuff is locked and when stuff is pinned.

I've started this with the attach interface by adding a new dynamic 
approach to that, but you probably need to carry on here with that for 
vmap as well.

When that is done we can migrate every exporter over to the new dynamic 
approach.

Correct, exactly that's the problem.

At least I would be fine with that. For now amdgpu is the only exporter 
who implements the explicit pin/unpin semantics anyway.

Yup, I think that makes sense (if it works). Maybe we could use something
like:

a) dma_buf pin exists, driver is dynamic. This means dma_buf_vmap needs to
first pin, then call ->vmap. dma_buf_vmap_local otoh can directly call
->vmap since the exporter relies on either a pin or dma_resv_lock.

b) dma_buf pin not implement, driver is a legacy pile. dma_buf_vmap will
pin (somewhere at least, or rely on some implicit pin), dma_buf_vmap_local
doesn't work and should fail.

I think for less transition work fbdev helpers could first try
dma_resv_lock + dma_buf_vmap_local, if that fails, drop the dma_resv_lock
and do the pinning dma_buf_vmap. That way we don't have to convert shmem
helpers over to dma_resv locking, which should help.

And ttm drivers would do the new clean interface, so at least everyone
using dma_resv today is all fine. Intel's conversion to dma_resv lock is
in-flight, but that needs a conversion to the dynamic interface anyway,
the current code splats. And dynamic brings means explicit pin/unpin
callbacks, so should be good too.

Yup, I think that makes sense (if it works). Maybe we could use something
like:

a) dma_buf pin exists, driver is dynamic. This means dma_buf_vmap needs to
first pin, then call ->vmap. dma_buf_vmap_local otoh can directly call
->vmap since the exporter relies on either a pin or dma_resv_lock.

b) dma_buf pin not implement, driver is a legacy pile. dma_buf_vmap will
pin (somewhere at least, or rely on some implicit pin), dma_buf_vmap_local
doesn't work and should fail.

I think for less transition work fbdev helpers could first try
dma_resv_lock + dma_buf_vmap_local, if that fails, drop the dma_resv_lock
and do the pinning dma_buf_vmap. That way we don't have to convert shmem
helpers over to dma_resv locking, which should help.

And ttm drivers would do the new clean interface, so at least everyone
using dma_resv today is all fine. Intel's conversion to dma_resv lock is
in-flight, but that needs a conversion to the dynamic interface anyway,
the current code splats. And dynamic brings means explicit pin/unpin
callbacks, so should be good too.

I think I read in the dma-buf documentation that pin is supposed to put 
the BO in a domain that is suitable for scanout. Now I don't really 
trust this to work. Amdgpu, radeon and nouveau put it into the GTT 
region. Qxl appears to put it wherever it is.

I have meanwhile made a patchset that updates helpers for cma, shmem and 
vram with vmap_local; and converts fbdev emulation as well. It needs a 
bit more testing before being posted.

I think I read in the dma-buf documentation that pin is supposed to put 
the BO in a domain that is suitable for scanout. Now I don't really 
trust this to work. Amdgpu, radeon and nouveau put it into the GTT 
region. Qxl appears to put it wherever it is.

I have meanwhile made a patchset that updates helpers for cma, shmem and 
vram with vmap_local; and converts fbdev emulation as well. It needs a 
bit more testing before being posted.

Uh that sounds wrong, or at least not the full complexity. ->pin's
main use right now is to freeze the dma-buf into system memory when
there's a non-dynamic attachement for a dynamic exporter. There's also
a dma_buf_pin call in amdgpu, and I think that only works for scanout
on integrated gpu. Pinning to vram would break sharing for all
existing dma-buf users.

Christian can you perhaps explain when amdgpu uses dma_buf_pin()?

My take is the ->pin callback should clarify that it should pin into
system memory, for legacy (non-dynamic) dma-buf users. And
dma_buf_pin() should gain some kerneldoc which then states that "This
should only be used in limited use cases like scanout and not for
temporary pin operations." I think the problem with this kerneldoc is
simply that it tries to document the exporter and importer side of the
contract in one place and makes a mess of it, plus leaves the actual
importer side function undocumented. I think the kerneldoc also
predates the final patch version, and we didn't update it fully.

Uh that sounds wrong, or at least not the full complexity. ->pin's
main use right now is to freeze the dma-buf into system memory when
there's a non-dynamic attachement for a dynamic exporter. There's also
a dma_buf_pin call in amdgpu, and I think that only works for scanout
on integrated gpu. Pinning to vram would break sharing for all
existing dma-buf users.

Christian can you perhaps explain when amdgpu uses dma_buf_pin()?

My take is the ->pin callback should clarify that it should pin into
system memory, for legacy (non-dynamic) dma-buf users. And
dma_buf_pin() should gain some kerneldoc which then states that "This
should only be used in limited use cases like scanout and not for
temporary pin operations." I think the problem with this kerneldoc is
simply that it tries to document the exporter and importer side of the
contract in one place and makes a mess of it, plus leaves the actual
importer side function undocumented. I think the kerneldoc also
predates the final patch version, and we didn't update it fully.

You guys are writing mails faster than I can answer :)

dma_buf_pin() should be used when the buffer can't move any more and it 
is preferred to bin in a location which is accessible by all devices, 
that usually means system memory.

> My take is the ->pin callback should clarify that it should pin into

I though I've wrote that on the documentation for the pin callback, but 
looks like I've forgotten to do this.

That's a really good point and I noticed this mess before as well.

How about this: We document the exporter side on the dma-buf function 
table (because the exporter should implement those), and the importer 
side on the dma-buf functions which then uses the exporter functions.

Regards,
Christian.

You guys are writing mails faster than I can answer :)

dma_buf_pin() should be used when the buffer can't move any more and it 
is preferred to bin in a location which is accessible by all devices, 
that usually means system memory.

I though I've wrote that on the documentation for the pin callback, but 
looks like I've forgotten to do this.

That's a really good point and I noticed this mess before as well.

How about this: We document the exporter side on the dma-buf function 
table (because the exporter should implement those), and the importer 
side on the dma-buf functions which then uses the exporter functions.

Regards,
Christian.
