[HMM v13 08/18] mm/hmm: heterogeneous memory management (HMM for short)

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

 



HMM provides 3 separate functionality :
    - Mirroring: synchronize CPU page table and device page table
    - Device memory: allocating struct page for device memory
    - Migration: migrating regular memory to device memory

This patch introduces some common helpers and definitions to all of
those 3 functionality.

+ * HMM provides 3 separate functionality :
+ *   - Mirroring: synchronize CPU page table and device page table
+ *   - Device memory: allocating struct page for device memory
+ *   - Migration: migrating regular memory to device memory
+ *
+ * Each can be use independently from the others.
+ *
+ *
+ * Mirroring:
+ *
+ * HMM provide helpers to mirror process address space on a device. For this it
+ * provides several helpers to order device page table update in respect to CPU
+ * page table update. Requirement is that for any given virtual address the CPU
+ * and device page table can not point to different physical page. It uses the
+ * mmu_notifier API and introduce virtual address range lock which block CPU
+ * page table update for a range while the device page table is being updated.
+ * Usage pattern is:
+ *
+ *      hmm_vma_range_lock(vma, start, end);
+ *      // snap shot CPU page table
+ *      // update device page table from snapshot
+ *      hmm_vma_range_unlock(vma, start, end);
+ *
+ * Any CPU page table update that conflict with a range lock will wait until
+ * range is unlock. This garanty proper serialization of CPU and device page
+ * table update.
+ *
+ *
+ * Device memory:
+ *
+ * HMM provides helpers to help leverage device memory either addressable like
+ * regular memory by the CPU or un-addressable at all. In both case the device
+ * memory is associated to dedicated structs page (which are allocated like for
+ * hotplug memory). Device memory management is under the responsability of the
+ * device driver. HMM only allocate and initialize the struct pages associated
+ * with the device memory.
+ *
+ * Allocating struct page for device memory allow to use device memory allmost
+ * like any regular memory. Unlike regular memory it can not be added to the
+ * lru, nor can any memory allocation can use device memory directly. Device
+ * memory will only end up to be use in a process if device driver migrate some
+ * of the process memory from regular memory to device memory.
+ *
+ *
+ * Migration:
+ *
+ * Existing memory migration mechanism (mm/migrate.c) does not allow to use
+ * something else than the CPU to copy from source to destination memory. More
+ * over existing code is not tailor to drive migration from process virtual
+ * address rather than from list of pages. Finaly the migration flow does not
+ * allow for graceful failure at different step of the migration process.
+ *
+ * HMM solves all of the above though simple API :
+ *
+ *      hmm_vma_migrate(vma, start, end, ops);
+ *
+ * With ops struct providing 2 callback alloc_and_copy() which allocated the
+ * destination memory and initialize it using source memory. Migration can fail
+ * after this step and thus last callback finalize_and_map() allow the device
+ * driver to know which page were successfully migrated and which were not.
+ *
+ * This can easily be use outside of HMM intended use case.
+ *
+ *
+ * This header file contain all the API related to this 3 functionality and
+ * each functions and struct are more thouroughly documented in below comments.
