It seems this patch found a victim. I was trying to run iperf3 on a honeycomb (5.14.0, fedora 35) and the console is blasting this error message at 100% cpu.

The CI has panic_on_warn enabled so we see the panic every day now. Its always the same pattern: module SMC calls dma_map_sg_attrs() which ends up in the EEXIST warning sooner or later. It would be better to revert this patch now and start to better understand the checking logic for overlapping areas. Thank you.

Adding a WARN for a case that be detected false-positive seems not acceptable, exactly for this reason (kernel panic on unaffected systems). So I guess it boils down to the question if the behavior that Ioana described is legit behavior, on a system that is dma coherent. We are apparently hitting the same scenario, although it could not yet be reproduced with debug printks for some reason. If the answer is yes, than please remove at lease the WARN, so that it will not make systems crash that behave valid, and have panic_on_warn set. Even a normal printk feels wrong to me in that case, it really sounds rather like you want to fix / better refine the overlap check, if you want to report anything here. BTW, there is already a WARN in the add_dma_entry() path, related to cachlline overlap and -EEXIST: add_dma_entry() -> active_cacheline_insert() -> -EEXIST -> active_cacheline_inc_overlap() That will only trigger when "overlap > ACTIVE_CACHELINE_MAX_OVERLAP". Not familiar with that code, but it seems that there are now two warnings for more or less the same, and the new warning is much more prone to false-positives. How do these 2 warnings relate, are they both really necessary? I think the new warning was only introduced because of some old TODO comment in add_dma_entry(), see commit 2b4bbc6231d78 ("dma-debug: report -EEXIST errors in add_dma_entry"). That comment was initially added by Dan long time ago, and he added several fix-ups for overlap detection after that, including the "overlap > ACTIVE_CACHELINE_MAX_OVERLAP" stuff in active_cacheline_inc_overlap(). So could it be that the TODO comment was simply not valid any more, and better be removed instead of adding new / double warnings, that also generate false-positives and kernel crashes? _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

Dan, Christoph, any opinion? So far it all looks a lot like a false positive, so could you please see that those patches get reverted? I do wonder a bit why this is not an issue for others, we surely cannot be the only ones running CI with panic_on_warn. We would need to disable DEBUG_DMA if this WARN stays in, which would be a shame. Of course, in theory, this might also indicate some real bug, but there really is no sign of that so far. Having multiple sg elements in the same page (or cacheline) is valid, correct? And this is also not a decision of the driver IIUC, so if it was bug, it should be addressed in common code, correct? > > BTW, there is already a WARN in the add_dma_entry() path, related > to cachlline overlap and -EEXIST: > > add_dma_entry() -> active_cacheline_insert() -> -EEXIST -> > active_cacheline_inc_overlap() > > That will only trigger when "overlap > ACTIVE_CACHELINE_MAX_OVERLAP". > Not familiar with that code, but it seems that there are now two > warnings for more or less the same, and the new warning is much more > prone to false-positives. > > How do these 2 warnings relate, are they both really necessary? > I think the new warning was only introduced because of some old > TODO comment in add_dma_entry(), see commit 2b4bbc6231d78 > ("dma-debug: report -EEXIST errors in add_dma_entry"). > > That comment was initially added by Dan long time ago, and he > added several fix-ups for overlap detection after that, including > the "overlap > ACTIVE_CACHELINE_MAX_OVERLAP" stuff in > active_cacheline_inc_overlap().

I'm hardly familiar with most of that callstack, but it appears to be related to mlx5, and I know that exists on expansion cards which could be plugged into a system with non-coherent PCIe where partial cacheline overlap *would* be a real issue. Of course it's dubious that there are many real use-cases for plugging a NIC with a 4-figure price tag into a little i.MX8 or whatever, but the point is that it *should* still work correctly. > We would need to disable DEBUG_DMA if this WARN stays in, which > would be a shame. Of course, in theory, this might also indicate > some real bug, but there really is no sign of that so far. The whole point of DMA debug is to flag up things that you *do* get away with on the vast majority of systems, precisely because most testing happens on those systems rather than more esoteric embedded setups. Say your system only uses dma-direct and a driver starts triggering the warning for not calling dma_mapping_error(), would you argue for removing that warning as well since dma_map_single() can't fail on your machine so it's "not a bug"? > Having multiple sg elements in the same page (or cacheline) is > valid, correct? And this is also not a decision of the driver > IIUC, so if it was bug, it should be addressed in common code, > correct? According to the streaming DMA API documentation, it is *not* valid: ".. warning:: Memory coherency operates at a granularity called the cache line width. In order for memory mapped by this API to operate correctly, the mapped region must begin exactly on a cache line boundary and end exactly on one (to prevent two separately mapped regions from sharing a single cache line).

I would assume that a *proper* warning would check if we see the "non-coherent" case, e.g. by using dev_is_dma_coherent() and only report with potentially fatal WARN on systems where it is appropriate. However, I am certainly even less familiar with all that, and might just have gotten the wrong impression here. Also not sure about mlx5 relation here, it does not really show in the call trace, only in the err_printk() output, probably from dev_driver_string(dev) or dev_name(dev). But I do not see where mlx5 code would be involved here.

Thanks, but I cannot really make a lot of sense out if this. Which driver exactly would be the one that needs to take care of the cache line alignment for sg elements? If this WARN is really reporting a bug, could you please help pointing to where it would need to be addressed? And does this really say that it is illegal to have multiple sg elements within the same cache line, regardless of cache coherence? Adding linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org, sorry for the noise, but maybe somebody on that list can make more sense of this.

I'm hardly familiar with most of that callstack, but it appears to be related to mlx5, and I know that exists on expansion cards which could be plugged into a system with non-coherent PCIe where partial cacheline overlap *would* be a real issue.

I believe the new warning is supposed to be for the fundementally incorrect API usage (as above) of mapping different regions overlapping within the same cacheline. The existing one is about dma-debug losing internal consistency when tracking the *same* region being mapped multiple times, which is a legal thing to do - e.g. buffer sharing between devices - but if anyone's doing it to excess that's almost certainly a bug (i.e. they probably intended to unmap it in between but missed that out). Thanks for the explanation Robin. In our case its really that a buffer is mapped twice for 2 different devices which we use in SMC to provide failover capabilities. We see that -EEXIST is returned when a buffer is mapped for the second device. Since there is a maximum of 2 parallel mappings we never see the warning shown by active_cacheline_inc_overlap() because we don't exceed ACTIVE_CACHELINE_MAX_OVERLAP. So how to deal with this kind of "legal thing", looks like there is no way to suppress the newly introduced EEXIST warning for that case?

Thanks Karsten, very interesting. We assumed so far that we hit the same case as Ioana, i.e. having multiple sg elements in one cacheline. With debug output it now seems that we hit a completely different case, not at all related to any cacheline or coherency issues. So it really seems that the new warning is basically the same as the already present one, with the difference that it already triggers on the first occurrence. Looking at the code again, it also seems rather obvious now... IIUC, from what Robin described, this means that the "legal thing to do - e.g. buffer sharing between devices" will now immediately trigger the new warning? Not sure if I missed something (again), because then I would expect much more reports on this, and of course it would then obviously be false-positive. _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

Since there is a maximum of 2 parallel mappings we never see the warning shown by active_cacheline_inc_overlap() because we don't exceed ACTIVE_CACHELINE_MAX_OVERLAP. Mapping something twice is possible, but needs special care. Basically one device always needs to do the first mapping and the other one needs to use DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC to opt out of the coherency protocol. So we have two TODO items here: 1) the driver needs to use the above scheme and 2) this dma-debug check needs to understand DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC. Can I trick you into doing both? _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread
