This problem recently came up on #dri-devel again. Adding Alyssa and Sven who are facing a similar challenge on their work on Apple M1 (if I understood correctly). Also adding dri-devel for visibility since this is a very common problem for display in particular. On M1 the situation is slightly more complicated: the firmware will allocate a couple of buffers (including the framebuffer) in high memory (> 4 GiB) and use the IOMMU to map that into an IOVA region below 4 GiB so that the display hardware can access it. This makes it impossible to bypass the IOMMU like we do on other chips (in particular to work around the fault-by-default policy of the ARM SMMU driver). It also means that in addition to the simple reserved regions I mentioned we need for audio use-cases and identity mapping use-cases we need for display on Tegra, we now also need to be able to convey physical to IOVA mappings. Fitting the latter into the original proposal sounds difficult. A quick fix would've been to generate a mapping table in memory and pass that to the kernel using a reserved-memory node (similar to what's done for example on Tegra for the EMC frequency table on Tegra210) and mark it as such using a special flag. But that then involves two layers of parsing, which seems a bit suboptimal. Another way to shoehorn that into the original proposal would've been to add flags for physical and virtual address regions and use pairs to pass them using special flags. Again, this is a bit wonky because it needs these to be carefully parsed and matched up. Another downside is that we now have a situation where some of these regions are no longer "reserved-memory regions" in the traditional sense. This would require an additional flag in the reserved-memory region nodes to prevent the IOVA regions from being reserved. By the way, this is something that would also be needed for the audio use-case I mentioned before, because the physical memory at that address can still be used by an operating system. A more general solution would be to draw a bit from Dmitry's proposal and introduce a new top-level "iov-reserved-memory" node. This could be modelled on the existing reserved-memory node, except that the physical memory pages for regions represented by child nodes would not be marked as reserved. Only the IOVA range described by the region would be reserved subsequently by the IOMMU framework and/or IOMMU driver. The simplest case where we just want to reserve some IOVA region could then be done like this: iov-reserved-memory { /* * Probably safest to default to <2>, <2> here given * that most IOMMUs support either > 32 bits of IAS * or OAS. */ #address-cells =3D <2>; #size-cells =3D <2>; firmware: firmware@80000000 { reg =3D <0 0x80000000 0 0x01000000>; }; }; audio@30000000 { ... iov-memory-regions =3D <&firmware>; ... }; Mappings could be represented by an IOV reserved region taking a reference to the reserved-region that they map: reserved-memory { #address-cells =3D <2>; #size-cells =3D <2>; /* 16 MiB of framebuffer at top-of-memory */ framebuffer: framebuffer@1,ff000000 { reg =3D <0x1 0xff000000 0 0x01000000>; no-map; }; }; iov-reserved-memory { /* IOMMU supports only 32-bit output address space */ #address-cells =3D <1>; #size-cells =3D <1>; /* 16 MiB of framebuffer mapped to top of IOVA */ fb: fb@ff000000 { reg =3D <0 0xff000000 0 0x01000000>; memory-region =3D <&framebuffer>; }; }; display@40000000 { ... /* optional? */ memory-region =3D <&framebuffer>; iov-memory-regions =3D <&fb>; ... }; It's interesting how identity mapped regions now become a trivial special case of mappings. All that is needed is to make the reg property of the IOV reserved region correspond to the reg property of the normal reserved region. Alternatively, as a small optimization for lazy people like me, we could just allow these cases to omit the reg property and instead inherit it from the referenced reserved region. As the second example shows it might be convenient if memory-region could be derived from iov-memory-regions. This could be useful for cases where the driver wants to do something with the physical pages of the reserved region (such as mapping them and copying out the framebuffer data to another buffer so that the reserved memory can be recycled). If we have the IOV reserved region, we could provide an API to extract the physical reserved region (if it exists). That way we could avoid referencing it twice in DT. Then again, there's something elegant about the explicit second reference to. It indicates the intent that we may want to use the region for something other than just the IOV mapping. Anyway, this has been long enough. Let me know what you think. Alyssa, Sven, it'd be interesting to hear if you think this could work as a solution to the problem on M1. Rob, I think you might like this alternative because it basically gets rid of all the points in the original proposal that you were concerned about. Let me know what you think.
