Subject: [RFC 1/3] mm: iommu: An API to unify IOMMU, CPU and device memory management

This patch contains the documentation for the API, termed the Virtual
Contiguous Memory Manager. Its use would allow all of the IOMMU to VM,
VM to device and device to IOMMU interoperation code to be refactored
into platform independent code.

Comments, suggestions and criticisms are welcome and wanted.

+What is this document about?
+============================
+
+This document covers how to use the Virtual Contiguous Memory Manager
+(VCMM), how the first implmentation works with a specific low-level
+Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU) and the way the VCMM is used
+from user-space. It also contains a section that describes why something
+like the VCMM is needed in the kernel.
+
+If anything in this document is wrong please send patches to the
+maintainer of this file, listed at the bottom of the document.
+
+
+The Virtual Contiguous Memory Manager
+=====================================
+
+The VCMM was built to solve the system-wide memory mapping issues that
+occur when many bus-masters have IOMMUs.
+
+An IOMMU maps device addresses to physical addresses. It also insulates
+the system from spurious or malicious device bus transactions and allows
+fine-grained mapping attribute control. The Linux kernel core does not
+contain a generic API to handle IOMMU mapped memory; device driver writers
+must implement device specific code to interoperate with the Linux kernel
+core. As the number of IOMMUs increases, coordinating the many address
+spaces mapped by all discrete IOMMUs becomes difficult without in-kernel
+support.
+
+The VCMM API enables device independent IOMMU control, virtual memory
+manager (VMM) interoperation and non-IOMMU enabled device interoperation
+by treating devices with or without IOMMUs and all CPUs with or without
+MMUs, their mapping contexts and their mappings using common
+abstractions. Physical hardware is given a generic device type and mapping
+contexts are abstracted into Virtual Contiguous Memory (VCM)
+regions. Users "reserve" memory from VCMs and "back" their reservations
+with physical memory.
+
+Why the VCMM is Needed
+----------------------
+
+Driver writers who control devices with IOMMUs must contend with device
+control and memory management. Driver writers have a large device driver
+API that they can leverage to control their devices, but they are lacking
+a unified API to help them program mappings into IOMMUs and share those
+mappings with other devices and CPUs in the system.
+
+Sharing is complicated by Linux's CPU centric VMM. The CPU centric model
+generally makes sense because average hardware only contains a MMU for the
+CPU and possibly a graphics MMU. If every device in the system has one or
+more MMUs the CPU centric memory management (MM) programming model breaks
+down.
+
+Abstracting IOMMU device programming into a common API has already begun
+in the Linux kernel. It was built to abstract the difference between AMDs
+and Intels IOMMUs to support x86 virtualization on both platforms. The
+interface is listed in kernel/include/linux/iommu.h. It contains
+interfaces for mapping and unmapping as well as domain management. This
+interface has not gained widespread use outside the x86; PA-RISC, Alpha
+and SPARC architectures and ARM and PowerPC platforms all use their own
+mapping modules to control their IOMMUs. The VCMM contains an IOMMU
+programming layer, but since its abstraction supports map management
+independent of device control, the layer is not used directly. This
+higher-level view enables a new kernel service, not just an IOMMU
+interoperation layer.
+
+The General Idea: Map Management using Graphs
+---------------------------------------------
+
+Looking at mapping from a system-wide perspective reveals a general graph
+problem. The VCMMs API is built to manage the general mapping graph. Each
+node that talks to memory, either through an MMU or directly (physically
+mapped) can be thought of as the device-end of a mapping edge. The other
+edge is the physical memory (or intermediate virtual space) that is
+mapped.
+
+In the direct mapped case the device is assigned a one-to-one MMU. This
+scheme allows direct mapped devices to participate in general graph
+management.
+
+The CPU nodes can also be brought under the same mapping abstraction with
+the use of a light overlay on the existing VMM. This light overlay allows
+VMM managed mappings to interoperate with the common API. The light
+overlay enables this without substantial modifications to the existing
+VMM.
+
+In addition to CPU nodes that are running Linux (and the VMM), remote CPU
+nodes that may be running other operating systems can be brought into the
+general abstraction. Routing all memory management requests from a remote
+node through the central memory management framework enables new features
+like system-wide memory migration. This feature may only be feasible for
+large buffers that are managed outside of the fast-path, but having remote
+allocation in a system enables features that are impossible to build
+without it.
+
+The fundamental objects that support graph-based map management are:
+
+1) Virtual Contiguous Memory Regions
+
+2) Reservations
+
+3) Associated Virtual Contiguous Memory Regions
+
+4) Memory Targets
+
+5) Physical Memory Allocations
+
+Usage Overview
+--------------
+
+In a nut-shell, users allocate Virtual Contiguous Memory Regions and
+associate those regions with one or more devices by creating an Associated
+Virtual Contiguous Memory Region. Users then create Reservations from the
+Virtual Contiguous Memory Region. At this point no physical memory has
+been committed to the reservation. To associate physical memory with a
+reservation a Physical Memory Allocation is created and the Reservation is
+backed with this allocation.
+
+include/linux/vcm.h includes comments documenting each API.
+
+Virtual Contiguous Memory Regions
+---------------------------------
+
+A Virtual Contiguous Memory Region (VCM) abstracts the memory space a
+device sees. The addresses of the region are only used by the devices
+which are associated with the region. This address space would normally be
+implemented as a device page-table.
+
+A VCM is created and destroyed with three functions:
+
+ struct vcm *vcm_create(size_t start_addr, size_t len);
+
+ struct vcm *vcm_create_from_prebuilt(size_t ext_vcm_id);
+
+ int vcm_free(struct vcm *vcm);
+
+start_addr is an offset into the address space where allocations will
+start from. len is the length from start_addr of the VCM. Both functions
+generate an instance of a VCM.
+
+ext_vcm_id is used to pass a request to the VMM to generate a VCM
+instance. In the current implementation the call simply makes a note that
+the VCM instance is a VMM VCM instance for other interfaces usage. This
+muxing is seen throughout the implementation.
+
+vcm_create() and vcm_create_from_prebuilt() produce VCM instances for
+virtually mapped devices (IOMMUs and CPUs). To create a one-to-one mapped
+VCM users pass the start_addr and len of the physical region. The VCMM
+matches this and records that the VCM instance is a one-to-one VCM.
+
+The newly created VCM instance can be passed to any function that needs to
+operate on or with a virtual contiguous memory region. Its main attributes
+are a start_addr and a len as well as an internal setting that allows the
+implementation to mux between true virtual spaces, one-to-one mapped
+spaces and VMM managed spaces.
+
+The current implementation uses the genalloc library to manage the VCM for
+IOMMU devices. Return values and more in-depth per-function documentation
+for these and the ones listed below are in include/linux/vcm.h.
+
+Reservations
+------------
+
+A Reservation is a contiguous region allocated from a VCM. There is no
+physical memory associated with it.
+
+A Reservation is created and destroyed with:
+
+ struct res *vcm_reserve(struct vcm *vcm, size_t len, uint32_t attr);
+
+ int vcm_unreserve(struct res *res);
+
+A vcm is a VCM created above. len is the length of the request. It can be
+up to the length of the VCM region the reservation is being created
+from. attr are mapping attributes: read, write, execute, user, supervisor,
+secure, not-cached, write-back/write-allocate, write-back/no
+write-allocate, write-through. These attrs are appropriate for ARM but can
+be changed to match to any architecture.
+
+The implementation calls gen_pool_alloc() for IOMMU devices,
+alloc_vm_area() for VMM areas and is a pass through for one-to-one mapped
+areas.
+
+Associated Virtual Contiguous Memory Regions and Activation
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+An Associated Virtual Contiguous Memory Region (AVCM) is a mapping of a
+VCM to a device. The mapping can be active or inactive.
+
+An AVCM is managed with:
+
+struct avcm *vcm_assoc(struct vcm *vcm, size_t dev, uint32_t attr);
+
+ int vcm_deassoc(struct avcm *avcm);
+
+ int vcm_activate(struct avcm *avcm);
+
+ int vcm_deactivate(struct avcm *avcm);
+
+A VCM instance is a VCM created above. A dev is an opaque device handle
+thats passed down to the device driver the VCMM muxes in to handle a
+request. attr are association attributes: split, use-high or
+use-low. split controls which transactions hit a high-address page-table
+and which transactions hit a low-address page-table. For instance, all
+transactions whose most significant address bit is one would use the
+high-address page-table, any other transaction would use the low address
+page-table. This scheme is ARM specific and could be changed in other
+architectures. One VCM instance can be associated with many devices and
+many VCM instances can be associated with one device.
+
+An AVCM is only a link. To program and deprogram a device with a VCM the
+user calls vcm_activate() and vcm_deactivate().For IOMMU devices,
+activating a mapping programs the base address of a page-table into an
+IOMMU. For VMM and one-to-one based devices, mappings are active
+immediately but the API does require an activation call for them for
+internal reference counting.
+
+Memory Targets
+--------------
+
+A Memory Target is a platform independent way of specifying a physical
+pool; it abstracts a pool of physical memory. The physical memory pool may
+be physically discontiguous, need to be allocated from in a unique way or
+have other user-defined attributes.
+
+Physical Memory Allocation and Reservation Backing
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Physical memory is allocated as a separate step from reserving
+memory. This allows multiple reservations to back the same physical
+memory.
+
+A Physical Memory Allocation is managed using the following functions:
+
+ struct physmem *vcm_phys_alloc(enum memtype_t memtype, size_t len,
+ uint32_t attr);
+
+ int vcm_phys_free(struct physmem *physmem);
+
+ int vcm_back(struct res *res, struct physmem *physmem);
+
+ int vcm_unback(struct res *res);
+
+attr can include an alignment request, a specification to map memory using
+various block sizes and/or to use physically contiguous memory. memtype is
+one of the memory types listed in Memory Targets.
+
+The current implementation manages two pools of memory. One pool is a
+contiguous block of memory and the other is a set of contiguous block
+pools. In the current implementation the block pools contain 4K, 64K and
+1M blocks. The physical allocator does not try to split blocks from the
+contiguous block pools to satisfy requests.
+
+The use of 4K, 64K and 1M blocks solves a problem with some IOMMU
+hardware. IOMMUs are placed in front of multimedia engines to provide a
+contiguous address space to the device. Multimedia devices need large
+buffers and large buffers may map to a large number of physical
+blocks. IOMMUs tend to have small translation lookaside buffers
+(TLBs). Since the TLB is small the number of physical blocks that map a
+given range needs to be small or else the IOMMU will continually fetch new
+translations during a typical streamed multimedia flow. By using a 1 MB
+mapping (or 64K mapping) instead of a 4K mapping the number of misses can
+be minimized, allowing the multimedia block to meet its performance goals.
+
+Low Level Control
+-----------------
+
+It is necessary in some instances to access attributes and provide
+higher-level control of the low-level hardware abstraction. The API
+contains many functions for this task but the two that are typically used
+are:
+
+ size_t vcm_get_dev_addr(struct res *res);
+
+ int vcm_hook(size_t dev, vcm_handler handler, void *data);
+
+The first function, vcm_get_dev_addr() returns a device address given a
+reservation. This device address is a virtual IOMMU address for
+reservations on IOMMU VCMs, a virtual VMM address for reservations on VMM
+VCMs and a virtual (really physical since its one-to-one mapped) address
+for one-to-one devices.
+
+The second function, vcm_hook allows a caller in the kernel to register a
+user_handler. The handler is passed the data member passed to vcm_hook
+during a fault. The user can return 1 to indicate that the underlying
+driver should handle the fault and retry the transaction or they can
+return 0 to halt the transaction. If the user doesn't register a handler
+the low-level driver will print a warning and terminate the transaction.
+
+A Detailed Walk Through
+-----------------------
+
+The following call sequence walks through a typical allocation
+sequence. In the first stage the memory for a device is reserved and
+backed. This occurs without mapping the memory into a VMM VCM region. The
+second stage maps the first VCM region into a VMM VCM region so the kernel
+can read or write it. The second stage is not necessary if the VMM does
+not need to read or modify the contents of the original mapping.
+
+ Stage 1: Map and Allocate Memory for a Device
+
+ The call sequence starts by creating a VCM region:
+
+ vcm = vcm_create(start_addr, len);
+
+ The next call associates a VCM region with a device:
+
+ avcm = vcm_assoc(vcm, dev, attr);
+
+ To activate the association users call vcm_activate() on the avcm from
+ the associate call. This programs the underlining device with the
+ mappings.
+
+ ret = vcm_activate(avcm);
+
+ Once a VCM region is created and associated it can be reserved from
+ with:
+
+ res = vcm_reserve(vcm, res_len, res_attr);
+
+ A user then allocates physical memory with:
+
+ physmem = vcm_phys_alloc(memtype, len, phys_attr);
+
+ To back the reservation with the physical memory allocation the user
+ calls:
+
+ vcm_back(res, physmem);
+
+
+ Stage 2: Map the Device's Memory into the VMM's VCM region
+
+ If the VMM needs to read and/or write the region that was just created
+ the following calls are made.
+
+ The first call creates a prebuilt VCM with:
+
+ vcm_vmm = vcm_from_prebuilt(ext_vcm_id);
+
+ The prebuilt VCM is associated with the CPU device and activated with:
+
+ avcm_vmm = vcm_assoc(vcm_vmm, dev_cpu, attr);
+ vcm_activate(avcm_vmm);
+
+ A reservation is made on the VMM VCM with:
+
+ res_vmm = vcm_reserve(vcm_vmm, res_len, attr);
+
+ Finally, once the topology has been set up a vcm_back() allows the VMM
+ to read the memory using the physmem generated in stage 1:
+
+ vcm_back(res_vmm, physmem);
+
+Mapping IOMMU, one-to-one and VMM Reservations
+----------------------------------------------
+
+The following example demonstrates mapping IOMMU, one-to-one and VMM
+reservations to the same physical memory. It shows the use of phys_addr
+and phys_size to create a contiguous VCM for one-to-one mapped devices.
+
+ The user allocates physical memory:
+
+ physmem = vcm_phys_alloc(memtype, SZ_2MB + SZ_4K, CONTIGUOUS);
+
+ Creates an IOMMU VCM:
+
+ vcm_iommu = vcm_create(SZ_1K, SZ_16M);
+
+ Creates an one-to-one VCM:
+
+ vcm_onetoone = vcm_create(phys_addr, phys_size);
+
+ Creates a Prebuit VCM:
+
+ vcm_vmm = vcm_from_prebuit(ext_vcm_id);
+
+ Associate and activate all three to their respective devices:
+
+ avcm_iommu = vcm_assoc(vcm_iommu, dev_iommu, attr0);
+ avcm_onetoone = vcm_assoc(vcm_onetoone, dev_onetoone, attr1);
+ avcm_vmm = vcm_assoc(vcm_vmm, dev_cpu, attr2);
+ vcm_activate(avcm_iommu);
+ vcm_activate(avcm_onetoone);
+ vcm_activate(avcm_vmm);
+
+ And finally, creates and backs reservations on all 3 such that they
+ all point to the same memory:
+
+ res_iommu = vcm_reserve(vcm_iommu, SZ_2MB + SZ_4K, attr);
+ res_onetoone = vcm_reserve(vcm_onetoone, SZ_2MB + SZ_4K, attr);
+ res_vmm = vcm_reserve(vcm_vmm, SZ_2MB + SZ_4K, attr);
+ vcm_back(res_iommu, physmem);
+ vcm_back(res_onetoone, physmem);
+ vcm_back(res_vmm, physmem);
+
+VCM Summary
+-----------
+
+The VCMM is an attempt to abstract attributes of three distinct classes of
+mappings into one API. The VCMM allows users to reason about mappings as
+first class objects. It also allows memory mappings to flow from the
+traditional 4K mappings prevalent on systems today to more efficient block
+sizes. Finally, it allows users to manage mapping interoperation without
+becoming VMM experts. These features will allow future systems with many
+MMU mapped devices to interoperate simply and therefore correctly.
+
+
+IOMMU Hardware Control
+======================
+
+The VCM currently supports a single type of IOMMU, a Qualcomm System MMU
+(SMMU). The SMMU interface contains functions to map and unmap virtual
+addresses, perform address translations and initialize hardware. A
+Qualcomm SMMU can contain multiple MMU contexts. Each context can
+translate in parallel. All contexts in a SMMU share one global translation
+look-aside buffer (TLB).
+
+To support context muxing the SMMU module creates and manages device
+independent virtual contexts. These context abstractions are bound to
+actual contexts at run-time. Once bound, a context can be activated. This
+activation programs the underlying context with the virtual context
+affecting a context switch.
+
+The following functions are all documented in:
+
+ arch/arm/mach-msm/include/mach/smmu_driver.h.
+
+Mapping
+-------
+
+To map and unmap a virtual page into physical space the VCM calls:
+
+ int smmu_map(struct smmu_dev *dev, unsigned long pa,
+ unsigned long va, unsigned long len, unsigned int attr);
+
+ int smmu_unmap(struct smmu_dev *dev, unsigned long va,
+ unsigned long len);
+
+ int smmu_update_start(struct smmu_dev *dev);
+
+ int smmu_update_done(struct smmu_dev *dev);
+
+The size given to map must be 4K, 64K, 1M or 16M and the VA and PA must be
+aligned to the given size. smmu_update_start() and smmu_update_done()
+should be called before and after each map or unmap.
+
+Translation
+-----------
+
+To request a hardware VA to PA translation on a single address the VCM
+calls:
+
+ unsigned long smmu_translate(struct smmu_dev *dev,
+ unsigned long va);
+
+Fault Handling
+--------------
+
+To register an interrupt handler for a context the VCM calls:
+
+ int smmu_hook_irpt(struct smmu_dev *dev, vcm_handler handler,
+ void *data);
+
+The registered interrupt handler should return 1 if it wants the SMMU
+driver to retry the transaction again and 0 if it wants the SMMU driver to
+terminate the transaction.
+
+Managing SMMU Initialization and Contexts
+-----------------------------------------
+
+SMMU hardware initialization and management happens in 2 steps. The first
+step initializes global SMMU devices and abstract device contexts. The
+second step binds contexts and devices.
+
+A SMMU hardware instance is built with:
+
+ int smmu_drvdata_init(struct smmu_driver *drv, unsigned long base,
+ int irq);
+
+A SMMU context is Initialized and deinitialized with:
+
+ struct smmu_dev *smmu_ctx_init(int ctx);
+ int smmu_ctx_deinit(struct smmu_dev *dev);
+
+An abstract SMMU context is bound to a particular SMMU with:
+
+ int smmu_ctx_bind(struct smmu_dev *ctx, struct smmu_driver *drv);
+
+Activation
+----------
+
+Activation affects a context switch.
+
+Activation, deactivation and activation state testing are done with:
+
+ int smmu_activate(struct smmu_dev *dev);
+ int smmu_deactivate(struct smmu_dev *dev);
+ int smmu_is_active(struct smmu_dev *dev);
+
+
+Userspace Access to Devices with IOMMUs
+=======================================
+
+A device that issues transactions through an IOMMU must work with two
+APIs. The first API is the VCM. The VCM API is device independent. Users
+pass the VCM a dev_id and the VCM makes calls on the hardware device it
+has been configured with using this dev_id. The second API is whatever
+device topology has been created to organize the particular IOMMUs in a
+system. The only constraint on this second API is that it must give the
+user a single dev_id that it can pass through the VCM.
+
+For the Qualcomm SMMUs the second API consists of a tree of platform
+devices and two platform drivers as well as a context lookup function that
+traverses the device tree and returns a dev_id given a context name.
+
+Qualcomm SMMU Device Tree
+-------------------------
+
+The current tree organizes the devices into a tree that looks like the
+following:
+
+smmu/
+ smmu0/
+ ctx0
+ ctx1
+ ctx2
+ smmu1/
+ ctx3
+
+
+Each context, ctx[n] and each smmu, smmu[n] is given a name. Since users
+are interested in contexts not smmus, the contexts name is passed to a
+function to find the dev_id associated with that name. The functions to
+find, free and get the base address (since the device probe function calls
+ioremap to map the SMMUs configuration registers into the kernel) are
+listed here:
+
+ struct smmu_dev *smmu_get_ctx_instance(char *ctx_name);
+ int smmu_free_ctx_instance(struct smmu_dev *dev);
+ unsigned long smmu_get_base_addr(struct smmu_dev *dev);
+
+Documentation for these functions is in:
+
+ arch/arm/mach-msm/include/mach/smmu_device.h
+
+Each context is given a dev node named after the context. For example:
+
+ /dev/vcodec_a_mm1
+ /dev/vcodec_b_mm2
+ /dev/vcodec_stream
+ etc...
+
+Users open, close and mmap these nodes to access VCM buffers from
+userspace in the same way that they used to open, close and mmap /dev
+nodes that represented large physically contiguous buffers (called PMEM
+buffers on Android).
+
+Example
+-------
+
+An abbreviated example is shown here:
+
+Users get the dev_id associated with their target context, create a VCM
+topology appropriate for their device and finally associate the VCMs of
+the topology with the contexts that will take the VCMs:
+
+ dev_id = smmu_get_ctx_instance(vcodec_a_stream);
+
+create vcm and needed topology
+
+ avcm = vcm_assoc(vcm, dev_id, attr);
+
+Tying it all Together
+---------------------
+
+VCMs, IOMMUs and the device tree all work to support system-wide memory
+mappings. The use of each API in this system allows users to concentrate
+on the relevant details without needing to worry about low-level
+details. The APIs clear separation of memory spaces and the devices that
+support those memory spaces continues Linuxs tradition of abstracting the
+what from the how.

Subject: [RFC 3/3] mm: iommu: The Virtual Contiguous Memory Manager

The Virtual Contiguous Memory Manager (VCMM) allows the CPU, IOMMU
devices and physically mapped devices to map the same physical memory
using a common API. It achieves this by abstracting mapping into graph
management.

Within the graph abstraction, the device end-points are CPUs with and
without MMUs and devices with and without IOMMUs. The mapped memory is
the other end-point. In the [IO]MMU case this is readily apparent. In
the non-[IO]MMU case, it is as apparent if you give each device a
"one-to-one" mapper. These mappings are wrapped up into "reservations"
represented by struct res's.

Also part of this graph is a mapping of a virtual space, struct vcm,
to a device. One virtual space may be associated with multiple devices
and multiple virtual-spaces may be associated with the same device. In
the case of a one-to-one device this virtual-space mirrors the
physical-space. A virtual-space is tied to a device using a
"association", a struct avcm. A device may be associated with a
virtual-space without being programed to translate based on that
virtual-space. Programming occurs using an activate call.

The physical side of the mapping (or intermediate address-space side
in virtualized environments) is represented by a struct physmem. Due to
the peculiar needs of various IOMMUs, the VCM contains a physical
allocation subsystem that manages blocks of different sizes from
different pools. This allows fine grained control of block and
physical placement, a feature many advanced IOMMU devices need.

Once a user has made a reservation on a VCM and allocated physical
memory, the two graph end-points are joined in a backing step. This
step allows multiple reservations to map the same physical location.

Many of the functions in the API take various attributes that provide
fine grained control of the objects they create. For instance,
reservations can map cachable memory and physical allocations can be
constrained to use a particular subset of block sizes.

+ * Virtual contiguous memory (VCM) region primitives.
+ *
+ * Current memory mapping software uses a CPU centric management
+ * model. This makes sense in general, average hardware only contains an
+ * CPU MMU and possibly a graphics MMU. If every device in the system
+ * has one or more MMUs a CPU centric MM programming model breaks down.
+ *
+ * Looking at mapping from a system-wide perspective reveals a general
+ * graph problem. Each node that talks to memory, either through an MMU
+ * or directly (via physical memory) can be thought of as the device end
+ * of a mapping edge. The other edge is the physical memory that is
+ * mapped.
+ *
+ * In the direct mapped case, it is useful to give the device an
+ * MMU. This one-to-one MMU allows direct mapped devices to
+ * participate in graph management, they simply see memory through a
+ * one-to-one mapping.
+ *
+ * The CPU nodes can also be brought under the same mapping
+ * abstraction with the use of a light overlay on the existing
+ * VMM. This light overlay brings the VMM's page table abstraction for
+ * each process and the kernel into the graph management API.
+ *
+ * Taken together this system wide approach provides a capability that
+ * is greater than the sum of its parts by allowing users to reason
+ * about system wide mapping issues without getting bogged down in CPU
+ * centric device page table management issues.

Subject: [RFC 2/3] mm: iommu: A physical allocator for the VCMM

The Virtual Contiguous Memory Manager (VCMM) needs a physical pool to
allocate from. It breaks up the pool into sub-pools of same-sized
chunks. In particular, it breaks the pool it manages into sub-pools of
1 MB, 64 KB and 4 KB chunks.

When a user makes a request, this allocator satisfies that request
from the sub-pools using a "maximum-munch" strategy. This strategy
attempts to satisfy a request using the largest chunk-size without
over-allocating, then moving on to the next smallest size without
over-allocating and finally completing the request with the smallest
sized chunk, over-allocating if necessary.

The maximum-munch strategy allows physical page allocation for small
TLBs that need to map a given range using the minimum number of mappings.

Although the allocator has been configured for 1 MB, 64 KB and 4 KB
chunks, it can be easily extended to other chunk sizes.

Thank you for the corrections. I'm correcting them now. Some responses:

I used size_t because I wanted to allow the start_addr the same range
as len. Is there a better type to use? I see 'unsigned long' used
throughout the mm code. Perhaps that's better for both the start_addr
and len.

IANAL, but AFAIK standard wisdom is that "disclaimer in the documentation
and/or other materials provided" is generally not acceptable for Linux
because it's an excessive burden for all distributors.

Also for me it's still quite unclear why we would want this code at all...
It doesn't seem to do anything you couldn't do with the existing interfaces.

I don't know all that much about what Zach's done here, but from what
he's said so far it looks like this help to manage lots of IOMMUs on a
single system.. On x86 it seems like there's not all that many IOMMUs in
comparison .. Zach mentioned 10 to 100 IOMMUs ..

It's the old version of the BSD license that noone uses anymore because of its ]
problems: it's really a unreasonable burden to include hundreds or thousands of
attributions for every contributor in every printed manual you ship.

The BSDs have all switched to the "Clause 2" (without this one) because
of this.

The current code can manage multiple IOMMUs fine.

He demonstrated the usage of his code in one of the emails he sent out
initially. Did you go over that, and what (or how many) step would you
use with the current code to do the same thing?

To avoid wasting space in structures, it makes sense to place fields
smaller than the alignment width together in the structure definition.
If one were to do this and follow your proposal, some structures may need
multiple "private" and "public" comments, which seems undesirable. The
alternative, wasting memory, also seems undesirable. Perhaps you might
have a proposal for a way to resolve this?

I don't know of a really good way. There are a few structs that have
multiple private/public entries, and that is OK.
Or you can describe all of the entries with kernel-doc notation.
Or you can choose not to use kernel-doc notation on some structs.

That's fair. The current code does manage multiple IOMMUs without issue
for a static map topology. Its core function 'map' maps a physical chunk
of some size into a IOMMU's address space and the kernel's address
space for some domain.

The VCMM provides a more abstract, global view with finer-grained
control of each mapping a user wants to create. For instance, the
symantics of iommu_map preclude its use in setting up just the IOMMU
side of a mapping. With a one-sided map, two IOMMU devices can be
pointed to the same physical memory without mapping that same memory
into the kernel's address space.

Additionally, the current IOMMU interface does not allow users to
associate one page table with multiple IOMMUs unless the user explicitly
wrote a muxed device underneith the IOMMU interface. This also could be
done, but would have to be done for every such use case. Since the
particular topology is run-time configurable all of these use-cases and
more can be expressed without pushing the topology into the low-level
IOMMU driver.

The VCMM takes the long view. Its designed for a future in which the
number of IOMMUs will go up and the ways in which these IOMMUs are
composed will vary from system to system, and may vary at
runtime. Already, there are ~20 different IOMMU map implementations in
the kernel. Had the Linux kernel had the VCMM, many of those
implementations could have leveraged the mapping and topology management
of a VCMM, while focusing on a few key hardware specific functions (map
this physical address, program the page table base register).

So if we include this code which "map implementations" could you
collapse into this implementations ? Generally , what currently existing
code can VCMM help to eliminate?

If the idea is to share some memory across multiple devices, I guess
you can achieve the same by calling the map function provided by iommu
module and sharing the mapped address to the 10's or 100's of devices
to access the buffers. You would only need a dedicated virtual pool
per IOMMU device to manage its virtual memory allocations.

Did you think of a way to handle the cases where one of the Device
that is using the mapped address crashed ?
How is the physical address unbacked in this case ?

That assumes that all the IOMMUs on the system support the same page table
format, right?

As I understand your approach would help if you have different
IOMMus with an different low level interface, which just
happen to have the same pte format. Is that very likely?

I would assume if you have lots of copies of the same IOMMU
in the system then you could just use a single driver with multiple
instances that share some state for all of them. That model
would fit in the current interfaces. There's no reason multiple
instances couldn't share the same allocation data structure.

And if you have lots of truly different IOMMUs then they likely
won't be able to share PTEs at the hardware level anyways, because
the formats are too different.

The standard Linux approach to such a problem is to write
a library that drivers can use for common functionality, not put a middle
layer inbetween. Libraries are much more flexible than layers.

That said I'm not sure there's all that much duplicated code anyways.
A lot of the code is always IOMMU specific. The only piece
which might be shareable is the mapping allocation, but I don't
think that's very much of a typical driver

In my old pci-gart driver the allocation was all only a few lines of code,
although given it was somewhat dumb in this regard because it only managed a
small remapping window.

Sure, but I was saying that iommu_map() doesn't just set up the IOMMU
mappings, its sets up both the iommu and kernel buffer mappings.

Actually no. Since the VCMM abstracts a page-table as a Virtual
Contiguous Region (VCM) a VCM can be associated with any device,
regardless of their individual page table format.

That's true up to the, "is this middle layer so useful that its worth
it" point. The VM is a middle layer, you could make the same argument
about it, "the mapping code isn't too hard, just map in the memory
that you need and be done with it". But the VM middle layer provides a
clean separation between page frames and pages which turns out to be
infinitely useful. The VCMM is built in the same spirit, It says
things like, "mapping is a global problem, I'm going to abstract
entire virtual spaces and allow people arbitrary chuck size
allocation, I'm not going to care that my device is physically mapping
this buffer and this other device is a virtual, virtual device."

I agree that its not a lot of code, and that this layer may be a bit heavy, but I'd like to focus on is a global mapping view useful and if so is something like the graph management that the VCMM provides generally useful.

Yeah, you can do that. My idea is to get away from explicit addressing
and encapsulate the "device address to physical address" link into a
mapping.

Actually the API takes care of that by design. Since the physical
space is managed apart from the mapper the mapper can crash and not
affect the physical memory allocation.

In theory, it can eliminate all code the interoperates between IOMMU,
CPU and non-IOMMU based devices and all the mapping code, alignment,
mapping attribute and special block size support that's been
implemented.

Normally the data is already in the kernel or mappings, so why
would you need another CPU mapping too? Sometimes the CPU
code has to scatter-gather, but that is considered acceptable
(and if it really cannot be rewritten to support sg it's better
to have an explicit vmap operation)

In general on larger systems with many CPUs changing CPU mappings
also gets expensive (because you have to communicate with all cores),
and is not a good idea on frequent IO paths.

But then there is no real page table sharing, isn't it?
The real information should be in the page tables, nowhere else.

Actually we use both PFNs and struct page *s in many layers up
and down, there's not really any layering in that.

That's all true, but what a VCMM allows is for these trade-offs to be
made by the user for future systems. It may not be too expensive to
change the IO path around on future chips or the user may be okay with
the performance penalty. A VCMM doesn't enforce a policy on the user,
it lets the user make their own policy.

Yeah, and the implementation ensures that it. The VCMM just adds a few
fields like start_addr, len and the device. The device still manages
the its page-tables.

Sure, but the PFNs and the struct page *s are the middle layer. Its
just that things haven't been layered on top of them. A VCMM is the
higher level abstraction, since it allows the size of the PFs to vary
and the consumers of the VCM's to be determined at run-time.

I've been thinking about this statement. Its very true. I use the
genalloc lib which is a great piece of software to manage VCMs
(domains in linux/iommu.h parlance?).

On our hardware we have 3 things we have to do, use the minimum set of
mappings to map a buffer because of the extremely small TLBs in all the
IOMMUs we have to support, use special virtual alignments and direct
various multimedia flows through certain IOMMUs. To support this we:

1. Use the genalloc lib to allocate virtual space for our IOMMUs,
allowing virtual alignment to be specified.

2. Have a maxmunch allocator that manages our own physical pool.

I think I may be able to support this using the iommu interface and
some util functions. The big thing that's lost is the unified topology
management, but as demonstrated that may fall out from a refactor.

Anyhow, sounds like a few things to try. Thanks for the feedback so
far. I'll do some refactoring and see what's missing.

The DMA-API already does this with the help of IOMMUs if they are
present. What is the benefit of your approach over that?

Thats not true. Multiple IOMMUs are completly handled by the IOMMU
drivers. In the case of the IOMMU-API backend drivers this also includes
the ability to use page-tables on multiple IOMMUs.

The IOMMU driver has to know about the topology anyway because it needs
to know which IOMMU it needs to program for a particular device.

I partially agree here. All the IOMMU implementations in the Linux
kernel have a lot of functionality in common where code could be
shared. Work to share code has been done in the past by Fujita Tomonori
but there are more places to work on. I am just not sure if a new
front-end API is the right way to do this.

Thats a very abstract statement. Can you point to particular code files
and give a rough sketch how it could be improved using VCMM?

The IOMMU-API abstracts a page-table as a domain which can also be
associated with any device (behind an iommu).

The grist to the DMA-API mill is the opaque scatterlist. Each
scatterlist element brings together a physical address and a bus
address that may be different. The set of scatterlist elements
constitute both the set of physical buffers and the mappings to those
buffers. My approach separates these two things into a struct physmem
which contains the set of physical buffers and a struct reservation
which contains the set of bus addresses (or device addresses). Each
element in the struct physmem may be of various lengths (without
resorting to chaining). A map call maps the one set to the other.

Perhaps, but why not create a VCM which can be shared across all
mappers in the system? Why bury it in a device driver and make all
IOMMU device drivers managed their own virtual spaces? Practically
this would entail a minor refactor to the fledging IOMMU interface;

I don't really think its a new front end API. Its just an API that
allows easier mapping manipulation than the current APIs.

I can. Not to single out a particular subsystem, but the video4linux
code contains interoperation code to abstract the difference between
sg buffers, vmalloc buffers and physically contiguous buffers. The
VCMM is an attempt to provide a framework where these and all the
other buffer types can be unified.

In-kernel mappings whose addresses can be dereferenced.

It does, but only by convention. The domain member is just a big
catchall void *. It would be more useful to factor out a VCM
abstraction, with associated ops. As it stands all IOMMU device driver
writters have to re-invent IOMMU virtual address management.

Why video4linux can't use the DMA API? Doing DMA with vmalloc'ed
buffers is a thing that we should avoid (there are some exceptions
like xfs though).

Vmalloc is about the only API for creating virtually linear memory areas.
The video stuff really needs that to avoid lots of horrible special cases
when doing buffer processing and the like.

Pretty much each driver using it has a pair of functions 'rvmalloc' and
'rvfree' so given a proper "vmalloc_for_dma()" type interface can easily
be switched

We already have helper functions for DMA with vmap pages,
flush_kernel_vmap_range and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range.

I think that the current DMA API with the above helper functions
should work well drivers that want virtually linear large memory areas
(such as xfs).

I'm not sure they help at all because the DMA user for these pages isn't
the video driver - it's the USB layer, and the USB layer isn't
specifically aware it is being passed vmap pages.

Drivers can tell the USB layer that these are vmapped buffers? Adding
something to struct urb? I might be totally wrong since I don't know
anything about the USB layer.

With non-DMA coherent aliasing caches, you need to know where the page
is mapped into the virtual address space, so you can deal with aliases.

You'd need to tell the USB layer about the other mappings of the page
which you'd like to be coherent (such as the vmalloc area - and there's
also the possible userspace mapping to think about too, but that's
a separate issue.)

I wonder if we should have had:

vmalloc_prepare_dma(void *, size_t, enum dma_direction)
vmalloc_finish_dma(void *, size_t, enum dma_direction)

rather than flush_kernel_vmap_range and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range,
which'd make their use entirely obvious.

However, this brings up a question - how does the driver (eg, v4l, xfs)
which is preparing the buffer for another driver (eg, usb host, block
dev) know that DMA will be performed on the buffer rather than PIO?

That's a very relevant question, because for speculatively prefetching
CPUs, we need to invalidate caches after a DMA-from-device operation -
but if PIO-from-device happened, this would destroy data read from the
device.

That problem goes away if we decide that PIO drivers must have the same
apparant semantics as DMA drivers - in that data must end up beyond the
point of DMA coherency (eg, physical page) - but that's been proven to
be very hard to achieve, especially with block device drivers.

I'm not sure, but I know that it makes the distinction. From
video4linux/videobuf:

<media/videobuf-dma-sg.h> /* Physically scattered */
<media/videobuf-vmalloc.h> /* vmalloc() buffers */
<media/videobuf-dma-contig.h> /* Physically contiguous */

Yeah, the last thing we want to do is converting all the PIO drivers.

Seems that we are far from the original discussion (the most of the
above topics have been discussed in the past and we kinda agree that
we have to do something some time, I guess).


Zach Pfeffer said this new VCM infrastructure can be useful for
video4linux. However, I don't think we need 3,000-lines another
abstraction layer to solve video4linux's issue nicely.

I can't find any reasonable reasons that we need to merge VCM; seems
that the combination of the current APIs (or with some small
extensions) can work for the issues that VCM tries to solve.

The benefit is that virtual address space and physical address space
are managed independently. This may be useful if you want to reuse the
same set of physical buffers, a user simply maps them when they're
needed. It also means that different physical memories could be
targeted and a virtual allocation could map those memories without
worrying about where they were.

This whole concept is just a logical extension of the already existing
separation between pages and page frames... in fact the separation
between physical memory and what is mapped to that memory is
fundamental to the Linux kernel. This approach just says that arbitrary
long buffers should work the same way.

Its only 3000 lines because I haven't converted the code to use
function pointers.

Getting back to the point. There is no API that can handle large
buffer allocation and sharing with low-level attribute control for
virtual address spaces outside the CPU. At this point if you need to
work with big buffers, 1 MB and 16 MB etc, and map those big buffers
to non-CPU virtual spaces you need to explicitly carve them out and
set up the mappings and sharing by hand. Its reasonable to have an API
that can do this especially since IOMMUs are going to become more
prevalent. The DMA API et al. take a CPU centric view of virtual space
management, sharing has to be explicitly written and external virtual
space management is left up to device driver writers. Given a system
where each device has an IOMMU or a MMU the whole concept of a
scatterlist goes away. The VCM API gets a jump on it.

The main point is adding a new abstraction that don't provide the huge

I don't understand - you've made this claim a couple of times. I
can't see how converting the code to use function pointers (presumably
to eliminate those switch statements) would reduce the number of lines
of code.

Please explain (or show via new patches) how does converting this to
function pointers significantly reduce the number of lines of code.

We might then be able to put just _one_ of these issues to bed.

I think we've dealt with the attribute issue to death now. Shall we
repeat it again?

I think I've also shown that not to be the case with example code.

The code behind the DMA API can be changed on a per-device basis
(currently on ARM we haven't supported that because no one's asked
for it yet) so that it can support multiple IOMMUs even of multiple
different types.

Aye. Its getting worked on. Once its done I'll push it.

I think the only point of agreement is that all mappings must have
compatible attributes, the issue of multiple mappings is still
outstanding, as is needing more fine grained control of the attributes
of a set of compatible mappings (I still need to digest your examples
a little).

I'm seeing that now. As I become more familiar with the DMA API the
way forward may become more clear to me. I certainly appreciate the
time you've spent discussing things and the code examples you've
listed. For example, it fairly clear how I can use a scatter list to
describe a mapping of big buffers. I can start down this path and see
what shakes out.

I disagree. In its current form the API may not be appropriate for
inclusion into the kernel, but it provides a common framework for
handling a class of problems that have been solved many times in the
kernel: large buffer management, IOMMU interoperation and fine grained
mapping control.
