Hi, This is the v4 of my patchset that adds a new DMABUF import interface to FunctionFS. It addresses the points that Daniel raised on the v3 - see changelog below. This interface is being used at Analog Devices, to transfer data from high-speed transceivers to USB in a zero-copy fashion, using also the DMABUF import interface to the IIO subsystem which is being upstreamed in parallel [1]. The two are used by the Libiio software [2]. On a ZCU102 board with a FMComms3 daughter board, using the combination of these two new interfaces yields a drastic improvement of the throughput, from about 127 MiB/s using IIO's buffer read/write interface + read/write to the FunctionFS endpoints, to about 274 MiB/s when passing around DMABUFs, for a lower CPU usage (0.85 load avg. before, vs. 0.65 after). Right now, *technically* there are no users of this interface, as Analog Devices wants to wait until both interfaces are accepted upstream to merge the DMABUF code in Libiio into the main branch, and Jonathan wants to wait and see if this patchset is accepted to greenlight the DMABUF interface in IIO as well. I think this isn't really a problem; once everybody is happy with its part of the cake, we can merge them all at once. This is obviously for 5.9, and based on next-20240117. Changelog: - [3/4]: - Protect the dmabufs list with a mutex - Use incremental sequence number for the dma_fences - Unref attachments and DMABUFs in workers - Remove dead code in ffs_dma_resv_lock() - Fix non-block actually blocking - Use dma_fence_begin/end_signalling() - Add comment about cache-management and dma_buf_unmap_attachment() - Make sure dma_buf_map_attachment() is called with the dma-resv locked Cheers, -Paul [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/219abc43b4fdd4a13b307ed2efaa0e6869e68e3f.camel@xxxxxxxxx/T/ [2] https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libiio/tree/pcercuei/dev-new-dmabuf-api Paul Cercueil (4): usb: gadget: Support already-mapped DMA SGs usb: gadget: functionfs: Factorize wait-for-endpoint code usb: gadget: functionfs: Add DMABUF import interface Documentation: usb: Document FunctionFS DMABUF API Documentation/usb/functionfs.rst | 36 ++ drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_fs.c | 500 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c | 7 +- include/linux/usb/gadget.h | 2 + include/uapi/linux/usb/functionfs.h | 41 +++ 5 files changed, 565 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0
