Changelog: v3: * Added DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC to p2p pages in HMM. * Fixed error unwind if dma_iova_sync fails in HMM. * Clear all PFN flags which were set in map to make code. more clean, the callers anyway cleaned them. * Generalize sticky PFN flags logic in HMM. * Removed not-needed #ifdef-#endif section. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1730892663.git.leon@xxxxxxxxxx * Fixed docs file as Randy suggested * Fixed releases of memory in HMM path. It was allocated with kv.. variants but released with kfree instead of kvfree. * Slightly changed commit message in VFIO patch. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1730298502.git.leon@xxxxxxxxxx * Squashed two VFIO patches into one * Added Acked-by/Reviewed-by tags * Fix docs spelling errors * Simplified dma_iova_sync() API * Added extra check in dma_iova_destroy() if mapped size to make code * more clear * Fixed checkpatch warnings in p2p patch * Changed implementation of VFIO mlx5 mlx5vf_add_migration_pages() to be more general * Reduced the number of changes in VFIO patch v0: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1730037276.git.leon@xxxxxxxxxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The code can be downloaded from: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git tag:dma-split-nov-09 Christoph, Can you please take this series through your DMA mapping tree, so it will soak enough time in linux-next before sending PR to Linus? Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently the only efficient way to map a complex memory description through the DMA API is by using the scatterlist APIs. The SG APIs are unique in that they efficiently combine the two fundamental operations of sizing and allocating a large IOVA window from the IOMMU and processing all the per-address swiotlb/flushing/p2p/map details. This uniqueness has been a long standing pain point as the scatterlist API is mandatory, but expensive to use. It prevents any kind of optimization or feature improvement (such as avoiding struct page for P2P) due to the impossibility of improving the scatterlist. Several approaches have been explored to expand the DMA API with additional scatterlist-like structures (BIO, rlist), instead split up the DMA API to allow callers to bring their own data structure. The API is split up into parts: - Allocate IOVA space: To do any pre-allocation required. This is done based on the caller supplying some details about how much IOMMU address space it would need in worst case. - Map and unmap relevant structures to pre-allocated IOVA space: Perform the actual mapping into the pre-allocated IOVA. This is very similar to dma_map_page(). In this and the next series [1], examples of three different users are converted to the new API to show the benefits and its versatility. Each user has a unique flow: 1. RDMA ODP is an example of "SVA mirroring" using HMM that needs to dynamically map/unmap large numbers of single pages. This becomes significantly faster in the IOMMU case as the map/unmap is now just a page table walk, the IOVA allocation is pre-computed once. Significant amounts of memory are saved as there is no longer a need to store the dma_addr_t of each page. 2. VFIO PCI live migration code is building a very large "page list" for the device. Instead of allocating a scatter list entry per allocated page it can just allocate an array of 'struct page *', saving a large amount of memory. 3. NVMe PCI demonstrates how a BIO can be converted to a HW scatter list without having to allocate then populate an intermediate SG table. To make the use of the new API easier, HMM and block subsystems are extended to hide the optimization details from the caller. Among these optimizations: * Memory reduction as in most real use cases there is no need to store mapped DMA addresses and unmap them. * Reducing the function call overhead by removing the need to call function pointers and use direct calls instead. This step is first along a path to provide alternatives to scatterlist and solve some of the abuses and design mistakes, for instance in DMABUF's P2P support.
