[RFC 1/2] fpga: support loading from a pre-allocated buffer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very
large Configuration files. The FPGA subsystem allows drivers to
request this Configuration image be loaded from the filesystem,
but this requires that the entire configuration data be loaded
into kernel memory first before it's provided to the driver.
This can lead to a situation where we map the configuration
data twice, once to load the configuration data into kernel
memory and once to copy the configuration data into the final
resting place which is nothing but a dma-able continuous buffer.

This creates needless memory pressure and delays due to multiple
copies. Let's add a dmabuf handling support to the fpga manager
framework that allows drivers to load the Configuration data
directly from a pre-allocated buffer. This skips the intermediate
step of allocating a buffer in kernel memory to hold the
Configuration data.
