SVA(share virtual address) offers a way for device to share process virtual
address space safely, which makes more convenient for user space device
driver coding. However, IO page faults may happen when doing DMA
operations. As the latency of IO page fault is relatively big, DMA
performance will be affected severely when there are IO page faults.
>From a long term view, DMA performance will be not stable.
In high-performance I/O cases, accelerators might want to perform
I/O on a memory without IO page faults which can result in dramatically
increased latency. Current memory related APIs could not achieve this
requirement, e.g. mlock can only avoid memory to swap to backup device,
page migration can still trigger IO page fault.
Various drivers working under traditional non-SVA mode are using
their own specific ioctl to do pin. Such ioctl can be seen in v4l2,
gpu, infiniband, media, vfio, etc. Drivers are usually doing dma
mapping while doing pin.
But, in SVA mode, pin could be a common need which isn't necessarily
bound with any drivers, and neither is dma mapping needed by drivers
since devices are using the virtual address of CPU. Thus, It is better
to introduce a new common syscall for it.
This patch leverages the design of userfaultfd and adds mempinfd for pin
to avoid messing up mm_struct. A fd will be got by mempinfd, then user
space can do pin/unpin pages by ioctls of this fd, all pinned pages under
one file will be unpinned in file release process. Like pin page cases in
other places, can_do_mlock is used to check permission and input
parameters.
