Hi,
So I'd like to push patches 1+2 to -fixes and sort everything else later
in -next. OK?
OK with me.
Done.
[ context: why shmem helpers use pgprot_writecombine + pgprot_decrypted?
we get conflicting mappings because of that, linear kernel
map vs. gem object vmap/mmap ]
Do we have any idea what drivers are actually using
write-combine and decrypted?
drivers/gpu/drm# find -name Kconfig* -print | xargs grep -l DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER
./lima/Kconfig
./tiny/Kconfig
./cirrus/Kconfig
./Kconfig
./panfrost/Kconfig
./udl/Kconfig
./v3d/Kconfig
./virtio/Kconfig
virtio needs cached.
cirrus+udl should be ok with cached too.
Not clue about the others (lima, tiny, panfrost, v3d). Maybe they use
write-combine just because this is what they got by default from
drm_gem_mmap_obj(). Maybe they actually need that. Trying to Cc:
maintainters (and drop stable@).
On decrypted: I guess that is only relevant for virtual machines, i.e.
virtio-gpu and cirrus?
virtio-gpu needs it, otherwise the host can't show the virtual display.
cirrus bounces everything via blits to vram, so it should be ok without
decrypted. I guess that implies we should make decrypted configurable.
Decrypted here is clearly incorrect and violates the SEV spec,
regardless of a config option.
The only correct way is currently to use dma_alloc_coherent() and
mmap_coherent() to allocate decrypted memory and then use the
pgprot_decrypted flag.
Since the same page is aliased with two physical addresses (one
encrypted and one decrypted) switching memory from one to the other
needs extensive handling even to flush stale vmaps...
So if virtio-gpu needs it for some bos, it should move away from shmem
for those bos.
