ok, great
May I please clarify a few moments before starting preparing non-RFC
version:
1. According to the discussion at "[RFC PATCH 2/2] xen/grant-table: Use
unpopulated DMAable pages instead of real RAM ones" we decided
to stay away from the "dma" in the name, also the second option (use
"dma_pool" for all) implies dropping the "page_list" entirely, so I am
going to do some renaming:
-
s/xen_alloc_unpopulated_dma_pages()/xen_alloc_unpopulated_contiguous_pages()
- s/dma_pool/unpopulated_pool
- s/list_lock/pool_lock
- s/fill_list()/fill_pool()
Any objections?
2. I don't like much the fact that in free_unpopulated_pages() we have
to free "page by page" if contiguous is false, but unfortunately we
cannot avoid doing that.
I noticed that many users of unpopulated pages retain initially
allocated pages[i] array, so it passed here absolutely unmodified since
being allocated, but there is a code (for example,
gnttab_page_cache_shrink() in grant-table.c) that can pass pages[i]
which contains arbitrary pages.
static void free_unpopulated_pages(unsigned int nr_pages, struct page
**pages,
bool contiguous)
{
[snip]
/* XXX Do we need to check the range (gen_pool_has_addr)? */
if (contiguous)
gen_pool_free(dma_pool, (unsigned long)page_to_virt(pages[0]),
nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE);
else {
unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++)
gen_pool_free(dma_pool, (unsigned long)page_to_virt(pages[i]),
PAGE_SIZE);
}
[snip]
}
I think, it wouldn't be a big deal for the small allocations, but for
the big allocations it might be not optimal for the speed.
What do you think if we update some places which always require big
allocations to allocate (and free) contiguous pages instead?
The possible candidate is
gem_create()/xen_drm_front_gem_free_object_unlocked() in
drivers/gpu/drm/xen/xen_drm_front_gem.c.
OTOH I realize this might be inefficient use of resources. Or better not?
3. The alloc_unpopulated_pages() might be optimized for the
non-contiguous allocations, currently we always try to allocate a single
chunk even if contiguous is false.
static int alloc_unpopulated_pages(unsigned int nr_pages, struct page
**pages,
bool contiguous)
{
[snip]
/* XXX: Optimize for non-contiguous allocations */
while (!(vaddr = (void *)gen_pool_alloc(dma_pool, nr_pages *
PAGE_SIZE))) {
if (filled)
ret = -ENOMEM;
else {
ret = fill_list(nr_pages);
filled = true;
}
if (ret)
goto out;
}
[snip]
}
But we can allocate "page by page" for the non-contiguous allocations,
it might be not optimal for the speed, but would be optimal for the
resource usage. What do you think?
static int alloc_unpopulated_pages(unsigned int nr_pages, struct page
**pages,
bool contiguous)
{
[snip]
if (contiguous) {
while (!(vaddr = (void *)gen_pool_alloc(dma_pool, nr_pages *
PAGE_SIZE))) {
if (filled)
ret = -ENOMEM;
else {
ret = fill_list(nr_pages);
filled = true;
}
if (ret)
goto out;
}
for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++)
pages[i] = virt_to_page(vaddr + PAGE_SIZE * i);
} else {
if (gen_pool_avail(dma_pool) < nr_pages) {
ret = fill_list(nr_pages - gen_pool_avail(dma_pool));
if (ret)
goto out;
}
for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) {
vaddr = (void *)gen_pool_alloc(dma_pool, PAGE_SIZE);
if (!vaddr) {
while (i--)
gen_pool_free(dma_pool, (unsigned
long)page_to_virt(pages[i]),
PAGE_SIZE);
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}
pages[i] = virt_to_page(vaddr);
}
}
[snip]
}
Thank you.
