Subject: [PATCH v12 00/22] mm/gup: prereqs to track dma-pinned pages: FOLL_PIN
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2020 14:45:36 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200107224558.2362728-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
Hi,
The "track FOLL_PIN pages" would have been the very next patch, but it is
not included here because I'm still debugging a bug report from Leon.
Let's get all of the prerequisite work (it's been reviewed) into the tree
so that future reviews are easier. It's clear that any fixes that are
required to the tracking patch, won't affect these patches here.
This implements an API naming change (put_user_page*() -->
unpin_user_page*()), and also adds FOLL_PIN page support, up to
*but not including* actually tracking FOLL_PIN pages. It extends
the FOLL_PIN support to a few select subsystems. More subsystems will
be added in follow up work.
Christoph Hellwig, a point of interest:
a) I've moved the bulk of the code out of the inline functions, as
requested, for the devmap changes (patch 4: "mm: devmap: refactor
1-based refcounting for ZONE_DEVICE pages").
Changes since v11: Fixes resulting from Kirill Shutemov's review, plus
a fix for a kbuild robot-reported warning.
* Only include the first 22 patches: up to, but not including, the "track
FOLL_PIN pages" patch.
* Improved the efficiency of put_compound_head(), by avoiding get_page()
entirely, and instead doing the mass subtraction on one less than
refs, followed by a final put_page().
* Got rid of the forward declaration of __gup_longterm_locked(), by
moving get_user_pages_remote() further down in gup.c
* Got rid of a redundant page_is_devmap_managed() call, and simplified
put_devmap_managed_page() as part of that small cleanup.
* Changed put_devmap_managed_page() to do an early out if the page is
not devmap managed. This saves an indentation level.
* Applied the same type of change to __unpin_devmap_managed_user_page(),
which has the same checks.
* Changed release_pages() to handle the changed put_devmap_managed_page()
API.
* Removed EXPORT_SYMBOL(free_devmap_managed_page), as it is not required,
after the other refactoring.
* Fixed a kbuild robot sparse warning: added "static" to
try_pin_compound_head()'s declaration.
There is a git repo and branch, for convenience:
git@github.com:johnhubbard/linux.git pin_user_pages_tracking_v8
For the remaining list of "changes since version N", those are all in
v11, which is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191216222537.491123-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com
============================================================
Overview:
This is a prerequisite to solving the problem of proper interactions
between file-backed pages, and [R]DMA activities, as discussed in [1],
[2], [3], and in a remarkable number of email threads since about
2017. :)
A new internal gup flag, FOLL_PIN is introduced, and thoroughly
documented in the last patch's Documentation/vm/pin_user_pages.rst.
I believe that this will provide a good starting point for doing the
layout lease work that Ira Weiny has been working on. That's because
these new wrapper functions provide a clean, constrained, systematically
named set of functionality that, again, is required in order to even
know if a page is "dma-pinned".
In contrast to earlier approaches, the page tracking can be
incrementally applied to the kernel call sites that, until now, have
been simply calling get_user_pages() ("gup"). In other words, opt-in by
changing from this:
get_user_pages() (sets FOLL_GET)
put_page()
to this:
pin_user_pages() (sets FOLL_PIN)
unpin_user_page()
============================================================
Testing:
* I've done some overall kernel testing (LTP, and a few other goodies),
and some directed testing to exercise some of the changes. And as you
can see, gup_benchmark is enhanced to exercise this. Basically, I've
been able to runtime test the core get_user_pages() and
pin_user_pages() and related routines, but not so much on several of
the call sites--but those are generally just a couple of lines
changed, each.
Not much of the kernel is actually using this, which on one hand
reduces risk quite a lot. But on the other hand, testing coverage
is low. So I'd love it if, in particular, the Infiniband and PowerPC
folks could do a smoke test of this series for me.
Runtime testing for the call sites so far is pretty light:
* io_uring: Some directed tests from liburing exercise this, and
they pass.
* process_vm_access.c: A small directed test passes.
* gup_benchmark: the enhanced version hits the new gup.c code, and
passes.
* infiniband: Ran rdma-core tests: rdma-core/build/bin/run_tests.py
* VFIO: compiles (I'm vowing to set up a run time test soon, but it's
not ready just yet)
* powerpc: it compiles...
* drm/via: compiles...
* goldfish: compiles...
* net/xdp: compiles...
* media/v4l2: compiles...
