While the per file case still looks acceptable this is a clear NAK
since it will massively increase the memory needed for a prime
exported object.

I think that this is quite overkill in the first place and for the
hot unplug case we can just use the global dummy page as well.

Christian.
Global dummy page is good for read access, what do you do on write
access ? My first approach was indeed to map at first global dummy
page as read only and mark the vma->vm_flags as !VM_SHARED assuming
that this would trigger Copy On Write flow in core mm

on the next page fault to same address triggered by a write access but then i realized a new COW page will be allocated for each such mapping
and this is much more wasteful then having a dedicated page per GEM
object.
Yeah, but this is only for a very very small corner cases. What we need
to prevent is increasing the memory usage during normal operation to
much.

Using memory during the unplug is completely unproblematic because we just released quite a bunch of it by releasing all those system memory
buffers.

And I'm pretty sure that COWed pages are correctly accounted towards
the
used memory of a process.

So I think if that approach works as intended and the COW pages are
released again on unmapping it would be the perfect solution to the
problem.

Daniel what do you think?
If COW works, sure sounds reasonable. And if we can make sure we
managed to drop all the system allocations (otherwise suddenly 2x
memory usage, worst case). But I have no idea whether we can
retroshoehorn that into an established vma, you might have fun stuff
like a mkwrite handler there (which I thought is the COW handler
thing, but really no idea).

If we need to massively change stuff then I think rw dummy page,
allocated on first fault after hotunplug (maybe just make it one per
object, that's simplest) seems like the much safer option. Much less
code that can go wrong.

Regarding COW, i was looking into how to properly implement it from
within the fault handler (i.e. ttm_bo_vm_fault)
and the main obstacle I hit is that of exclusive access to the
vm_area_struct, i need to be able to modify
vma->vm_flags (and vm_page_prot)  to remove VM_SHARED bit so COW can
be triggered on subsequent write access

but core mm takes only read side mm_sem (here for example
https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Felixir.bootlin.com%2Flinux%2Flatest%2Fsource%2Fdrivers%2Fiommu%2Famd%2Fiommu_v2.c%23L488&amp;data=04%7C01%7CAndrey.Grodzovsky%40amd.com%7C00053e9d983041ed63ae08d88882ed87%7C3dd8961fe4884e608e11a82d994e183d%7C0%7C0%7C637409443224016377%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=h360c75Upl3%2FW7im7M1%2BxY%2FXy4gxin%2BkCF1Ui2zFXMs%3D&amp;reserved=0)
and so I am not supposed to modify vm_area_struct in this case. I am
not sure if it's legit to write lock tthe mm_sem from this point.
I found some discussions about this here
https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flkml.iu.edu%2Fhypermail%2Flinux%2Fkernel%2F1909.1%2F02754.html&amp;data=04%7C01%7CAndrey.Grodzovsky%40amd.com%7C00053e9d983041ed63ae08d88882ed87%7C3dd8961fe4884e608e11a82d994e183d%7C0%7C0%7C637409443224021379%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=sx6s1lH%2FvxbIZajc4Yr49vFhxvPEnBHZlTt52D8qvZA%3D&amp;reserved=0 but it
wasn't really clear to me
what's the solution.

In any case, seems to me that easier and more memory saving solution
would be to just switch to per ttm bo dumy rw page that
would be allocated on demand as you suggested here.  This should also
take care of imported BOs and flink cases.
Then i can drop the per device FD and per GEM object FD dummy BO and
the ugly loop i am using in patch 2 to match faulting BO to the right
dummy page.

Does this makes sense ?
I still don't see the information leak as much of a problem, but if
Daniel insists we should probably do this.
Well amdgpu doesn't clear buffers by default, so indeed you guys are a
lot more laissez-faire here. But in general we really don't do that
kind of leaking. Iirc there's even radeonsi bugs because else clears,
and radeonsi happily displays gunk :-)

But could we at least have only one page per client instead of per BO?
I think you can do one page per file descriptor or something like
that. But gets annoying with shared bo, especially with dma_buf_mmap
forwarding.
-Daniel


Christian - is your concern more with too much page allocations or with extra pointer member
cluttering TTM BO struct ?

Yes, that is one problem.

Because we can allocate the dummy page on demand only when
needed. It's just seems to me that keeping it per BO streamlines the code as I don't need to
have different handling for local vs imported BOs.

Why should you have a difference between local vs imported BOs?

Christian.
