Subject: [PATCH] xtensa: Fix mmap() support

The xtensa architecture does not implement the dma_map_ops->mmap() hook,
thus relying on the default dma_common_mmap() implementation.
This implementation is only safe on DMA-coherent architecture (hence the
!defined(CONFIG_ARCH_NO_COHERENT_DMA_MMAP) condition), but xtensa does not
fall in this case.
This lead to bad pfn calculation when someone tries to mmap() one or
several pages that are not part of the identity mapping because the
dma_common_mmap() extract the pfn value from the virt address using
virt_to_page() which is only applicable on DMA-coherent platforms (on
other platforms, DMA coherent pages are mapped in a different region).

Implement xtensa_dma_mmap() (loosely based on __arm_dma_mmap()) in which
pfn is extracted from the DMA address using PFN_DOWN().

While we're at it, select ARCH_NO_COHERENT_DMA_MMAP from the XTENSA
entry so that we never silently fallback to dma_common_mmap() if someone
decides to drop the xtensa_dma_mmap() implementation.

Hello,

This bug has been detected while developping a DRM driver on an FPGA
containing an Xtensa CPU. The DRM driver is using the generic CMA GEM
implementation which is allocating DMA coherent buffers in kernel space
and then allows userspace programs to mmap() these buffers.

Whith the existing implementation, the userspace pointer was pointing
to a completely different physical region, thus leading to bad display
output and memory corruptions.

I'm not sure the xtensa_dma_mmap() implementation is correct, but it
seems to solve my problem.

Don't hesitate to propose a different implementation.

Thanks,

Boris

Why not? AFAIU "DMA-coherent" may mean "having DMA memory accessible
w/o caching", is that right? We have all low memory mapped in the uncached
KSEG region, it may be mapped to the userspace w/o caching as well, that's
what dma_common_mmap does.

Oh, yes. Our __pa implementation is buggy in a sense that it doesn't work
correctly with addresses from the uncached KSEG.

I don't think this is right.

Could you please instead check if the dma_common_mmap works for you
with the attached patch?

You use vma->vm_page_prot directly here, isn't it required to do

vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_noncached(vma->vm_page_prot);

to make the mapping uncached? Because otherwise I guess you
get a mapping with cache which on Xtensa is not going to be
coherent.

I think I misunderstood what CONFIG_ARCH_NO_COHERENT_DMA_MMAP means.
My understanding was that, if CONFIG_ARCH_NO_COHERENT_DMA_MMAP is not
set, the architecture is assumed to be cache-coherent, but re-reading
the option name I realize you're probably right.

I'm new to the xtensa architecture, and on ARM, virt_to_phys(), __pa()
and co are known to be unsafe when used on DMA-coherent memory.
Here it seems that you have twice the identity mapping in your virtual
address space: once with the uncached flag set, and another one with
cache activated, so it is indeed easier to patch __pa() to do the right
thing.

Yep, as said above, you're probably right.

I will. BTW, shouldn't it be

if (off >= XCHAL_KSEG_SIZE)

instead of

if (off > XCHAL_KSEG_SIZE)
?

Indeed. Anyway, we'll probably keep relying on dma_common_mmap() which
is already doing the right thing.

Thanks for the review.

It just says that the architecture did not support dma_common_mmap at
the point in time when I switched all architectures to use the common
dma_ops or implementing the various dma calls. There is no inherent
logic behind the symbol, and if the few remaining architectures could
support it with a bit work the option could just go away.
