Applications send compression / decompression requests to NX with
COPY/PASTE instructions. When NX is processing these requests, can hit
fault on the request buffer (not in memory). It issues an interrupt and
pastes fault CRB in fault FIFO. Expects kernel to handle this fault and
return credits for both send and fault windows after processing.
This patch series adds IRQ and fault window setup, and NX fault handling:
- Read IRQ# from "interrupts" property and configure IRQ per VAS instance.
- Set port# for each window to generate an interrupt when noticed fault.
- Set fault window and FIFO on which NX paste fault CRB.
- Setup fault handler (as kernel thread) per VAS instance.
- When receiving an interrupt, Read CRBs from fault FIFO and update
coprocessor_status_block (CSB) in the corresponding CRB with translation
failure (CSB_CC_TRANSLATION). After issuing NX requests, process polls
on CSB address. When it sees translation error, can touch the request
buffer to bring the page in to memory and reissue NX request.
- If copy_to_user fails on user space CSB address, OS sends SEGV signal.
Tested these patches with NX-GZIP support and will be posting this series
soon.
Patch 2: Revert 452d23c0f6bd97f2 - Using vas_win_id() and vas_win_paste_addr()
Patch 3: Define nx_fault_stamp on which NX writes fault status for the fault
CRB
Patch 4: IRQ and port setup
Patches 5 and 6: Setup fault window and fault handler per each VAS instance.
fault window is used for NX to paste fault CRB in FIFO. A kernel
thread is created to handle faults on each VAS.
Patches 7, 9 and 10: Read and process CRBs from fault FIFO and notify tasks
by updating CSB or through signals.
Patch 8: Reference to pid and mm so that pid is not used until window closed.
Needef for multi thread application where child can open a window and
can be used by parent later.
Patches 11 and 12: Return credits for send and fault windows after handling
faults.
Patch 14: Fix closing send window after all credits are returned. This issue
happens only for user space requests. No page faults on kernel
request buffer.
