Subject: [PATCH v5 00/11] reserved-memory regions/CMA in devicetree, again

Hi all!

Ok, I hope that this is the last update of the patches which add basic
support for dynamic allocation of memory reserved regions defined in
device tree.

This time I've mainly sliced the main patch into several smaller pieces
to make the changes easier to understand and fixes some minor coding
style issues.

The initial code for this feature were posted here [1], merged as commit
9d8eab7af79cb4ce2de5de39f82c455b1f796963 ("drivers: of: add
initialization code for dma reserved memory") and later reverted by
commit 1931ee143b0ab72924944bc06e363d837ba05063. For more information,
see [2]. Finally a new bindings has been proposed [3] and Josh
Cartwright a few days ago prepared some code which implements those
bindings [4]. This finally pushed me again to find some time to finish
this task and review the code. Josh agreed to give me the ownership of
this series to continue preparing them for mainline inclusion.

For more information please refer to the changlelog and links below.

Changelog:

v5:
- sliced main patch into several smaller patches on Grant's request
- fixed coding style issues pointed by Grant
- use node->phandle value directly instead of parsing properties manually

v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/20/150
- dynamic allocations are processed after all static reservations has been
done
- moved code for handling static reservations to drivers/of/fdt.c
- removed node matching by string comparison, now phandle values are used
directly
- moved code for DMA and CMA handling directly to
drivers/base/dma-{coherent,contiguous}.c
- added checks for proper #size-cells, #address-cells, ranges properties
in /reserved-memory node
- even more code cleanup
- added init code for ARM64 and PowerPC

v3: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.documentation/20169/
- refactored memory reservation code, created common code to parse reg, size,
align, alloc-ranges properties
- added support for multiple tuples in 'reg' property
- memory is reserved regardless of presence of the driver for its compatible
- prepared arch specific hooks for memory reservation (defaults use memblock
calls)
- removed node matching by string during device initialization
- CMA init code: added checks for required region alignment
- more code cleanup here and there

v2: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.documentation/19870/
- removed copying of the node name
- split shared-dma-pool handling into separate files (one for CMA and one
for dma_declare_coherent based implementations) for making the code easier
to understand
- added support for AMBA devices, changed prototypes to use struct decice
instead of struct platform_device
- renamed some functions to better match other names used in drivers/of/
- restructured the rest of the code a bit for better readability
- added 'reusable' property to exmaple linux,cma node in documentation
- exclusive dma (dma_coherent) is used for only handling 'shared-dma-pool'
regions without 'reusable' property and CMA is used only for handling
'shared-dma-pool' regions with 'reusable' property.

v1: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.documentation/19579
- initial version prepared by Josh Cartwright

+*** Reserved memory regions ***
+
+Reserved memory is specified as a node under the /reserved-memory node.
+The operating system shall exclude reserved memory from normal usage
+one can create child nodes describing particular reserved (excluded from
+normal use) memory regions. Such memory regions are usually designed for
+the special usage by various device drivers.
+
+Parameters for each memory region can be encoded into the device tree
+with the following nodes:
+
+/reserved-memory node
+---------------------
+#address-cells, #size-cells (required) - standard definition
+ - Should use the same values as the root node
+#memory-region-cells (required) - dictates number of cells used in the child
+ nodes memory-region specifier
+ranges (required) - standard definition
+ - Should be empty
+
+/reserved-memory/ child nodes
+-----------------------------
+Each child of the reserved-memory node specifies one or more regions of
+reserved memory. Each child node may either use a 'reg' property to
+specify a specific range of reserved memory, or a 'size' property with
+optional constraints to request a dynamically allocated block of memory.
+
+Following the generic-names recommended practice, node names should
+reflect the purpose of the node (ie. "framebuffer" or "dma-pool"). Unit
+address (@<address>) should be appended to the name if the node is a
+static allocation.
+
+Properties:
+Requires either a) or b) below.
+a) static allocation
+ reg (required) - standard definition
+b) dynamic allocation
+ size (required) - length based on parent's #size-cells
+ - Size in bytes of memory to reserve.
+ alignment (optional) - length based on parent's #size-cells
+ - Address boundary for alignment of allocation.
+ alloc-ranges (optional) - prop-encoded-array (address, length pairs).
+ - Specifies regions of memory that are
+ acceptable to allocate from.
+
+If both reg and size are present, then the reg property takes precedence
+and size is ignored.
+
+Additional properties:
+compatible (optional) - standard definition
+ - may contain the following strings:
+ - shared-dma-pool: This indicates a region of memory meant to be
+ used as a shared pool of DMA buffers for a set of devices. It can
+ be used by an operating system to instanciate the necessary pool
+ management subsystem if necessary.
+ - vendor specific string in the form <vendor>,[<device>-]<usage>
+no-map (optional) - empty property
+ - Indicates the operating system must not create a virtual mapping
+ of the region as part of its standard mapping of system memory,
+ nor permit speculative access to it under any circumstances other
+ than under the control of the device driver using the region.
+reusable (optional) - empty property
+ - The operating system can use the memory in this region with the
+ limitation that the device driver(s) owning the region need to be
+ able to reclaim it back. Typically that means that the operating
+ system can use that region to store volatile or cached data that
+ can be otherwise regenerated or migrated elsewhere.
+
+Linux implementation note:
+- If a "linux,cma-default" property is present, then Linux will use the
+ region for the default pool of the contiguous memory allocator.
+
+Device node references to reserved memory
+-----------------------------------------
+Regions in the /reserved-memory node may be referenced by other device
+nodes by adding a memory-region property to the device node.
+
+memory-region (optional) - phandle, specifier pairs to children of /reserved-memory
+
+Example
+-------
+This example defines 3 contiguous regions are defined for Linux kernel:
+one default of all device drivers (named linux,cma@72000000 and 64MiB in size),
+one dedicated to the framebuffer device (named framebuffer@78000000, 8MiB), and
+one for multimedia processing (named multimedia-memory@77000000, 64MiB).
+

Subject: [PATCH v5 05/11] drivers: of: add automated assignment of reserved regions to client devices

This patch adds code for automated assignment of reserved memory regions
to struct device. reserved_mem->ops->device_init()/device_cleanup()
callbacks are called to perform reserved memory driver specific
initialization and cleanup. The code looks for 'memory-region' property
in the client device node and assigns region pointed by the found
phandle.

Subject: [PATCH v5 02/11] drivers: of: add initialization code for static reserved memory

This patch adds support for static (defined by 'reg' property) reserved
memory regions declared in device tree.

Memory blocks can be reliably reserved only during early boot. This must
happen before the whole memory management subsystem is initialized,
because we need to ensure that the given contiguous blocks are not yet
allocated by kernel. Also it must happen before kernel mappings for the
whole low memory are created, to ensure that there will be no mappings
(for reserved blocks). Typically, all this happens before device tree
structures are unflattened, so we need to get reserved memory layout
directly from fdt.

Based on previous code provided by Josh Cartwright <[email protected]>

I still don't like this portion of the binding. I'm not convinced that
it is necessary in the majority of cases and it is going to be very
driver specific. I would rather drop it entirely from the common
binding. If a specific driver needs to do something like the above then
it can have a driver specific binding. Otherwise I think the default
should be a simple phandle with no arguments to a single reserved memory
node.

Ben, can you weigh in on the current state of this document. I'm mostly
happy with it aside from my comment above. Do you think this is ready to
be merged?

Add "Use vendor strings to identify regions dedicates for a specific

Please document the purpose of this function. This function reflects a Linux
implementation limitation because it is easier than parsing a correctly
formed ranges property. Sometime in the future it may be fixed. It is
worth capturing all of that in a comment.

I'm wary on this patch. It hides the assignment of regions into the core
code and I worry that it is the wrong level of abstraction. I would
think that drivers should know that they need a reserved memory region
and should be calling the API to obtain the region directly rather than
doing it for them. The reason being is that there may be some situations
where the common code isn't quite right and the driver needs to override
the behaviour. If it is called automatically then the driver cannot do
that.

Is it really a big burden to have the driver call the reserved memory
init function?

If a device requires very special handling of the reserved memory region,
it may simply provide its own reserved memory region driver which will do
the required early initialization.

If we assume that driver needs to initialize reserved region manually, then
why do we ever bother with adding support for custom reserved memory drivers
and assigning regions to a device node? We can simply stick with just a set
of reserved regions and tell drivers to use them.

In my opinion for most typical use cases a board designer will assign
'dma-shared-pool' driver to the given set of devices, which in turn ensures
that all memory allocations for dma purposes for those device will be
served from that region. It is really not a driver role to initialize it
in such case. Driver should focus on controlling hw operations, regardless
the way the hardware module has been integrated to the system.

I can perfectly imagine a generic driver which operates the same way in any
of the following cases (depends mainly on the hw version): 1) restricted
dma window, 2) iommu for all dma for the given device, 3) fully featured
memory master for dma for the given device (no restrictions), if the
respective kernel subsystems did the correct initialization and provide
their own methods for managing DMA operation. I already have a working
platform glue code for the above cases tested with Samsung multimedia
drivers. No changes to the drivers were required.

So do you want to completely drop phandle based links between device
