[PATCH 0/4] [RFC] Addition of dma-mapping IOMMU framework in Exynos DRM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Prathyush K <prathyush.k@xxxxxxxxxxx>

With these set of patches, the Exynos5 DRM module will be able to
allocate, export and map non-contiguous memory for GEM objects using the
dma-mapping IOMMU framework.

These patches are based on the following references:

5> Support for dma_get_pages by Tomasz Stanislawski
http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/9639/

The updated GEM framework by Inki Dae is not considered for this patch set.

IOMMU mapping is created for exynos-drm-device initially.
Allocation of GEM objects happens through dma_alloc_writecombine which
inturn calls arm_iommu_alloc_attrs. This will allocate a non-contig set of
pages, allocate a iova and map all the pages.

The following changes are done to support non-contiguous memory for GEM objects

  [PATCH 1/4]:
	drm/exynos: DMABUF: Added support for exporting non-contig buffers.
	This patch is for creating and mapping a SGT in map_dma_buf by
	retrieving the pages by calling dma_get_pages.

  [PATCH 2/4]:
	drm/exynos: Mapping of gem objects uses dma_mmap_writecombine.
	This patch is for mapping the non-contiguous GEM objects to user
	space by calling dma_mmap_writecombine.

  [PATCH 3/4]:
	drm/Exynos: Added 'disable' function to Exynos drm crtc module.
	This patch is required for safe release of DRM. If a FB of a CRTC
	is released, the driver tries to disable the CRTC if that is
	supported by the CRTC. This patch adds Exynos DRM CRTC disable
	functionality.

  [PATCH 4/4]:
	drm: Releasing FBs before releasing GEM objects during drm_release.
	This patch is required for safe release of DRM. During drm release,
	all the FBs and GEM objects are released. A gem object which is used
	as a FB must not be freed first before releasing the FB. This patch
	modifies the drm release function to first release the FBs and then
	release the GEMs.
