[PATCH v3 hmm 00/11] Add mmu_notifier_get/put for managing mmu notifier registrations

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

 



From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This series introduces a new registration flow for mmu_notifiers based on
the idea that the user would like to get a single refcounted piece of
memory for a mm, keyed to its use.

For instance many users of mmu_notifiers use an interval tree or similar
to dispatch notifications to some object. There are many objects but only
one notifier subscription per mm holding the tree.

Of the 12 places that call mmu_notifier_register:
 - 7 are maintaining some kind of obvious mapping of mm_struct to
   mmu_notifier registration, ie in some linked list or hash table. Of
   the 7 this series converts 4 (gru, hmm, RDMA, radeon)

 - 3 (hfi1, gntdev, vhost) are registering multiple notifiers, but each
   one immediately does some VA range filtering, ie with an interval tree.
   These would be better with a global subsystem-wide range filter and
   could convert to this API.

 - 2 (kvm, amd_iommu) are deliberately using a single mm at a time, and
   really can't use this API. One of the intel-svm's modes is also in this
   list

The 3/7 unconverted drivers are:
 - intel-svm
   This driver tracks mm's in a global linked list 'global_svm_list'
   and would benefit from this API.

   Its flow is a bit complex, since it also wants a set of non-shared
   notifiers.

 - i915_gem_usrptr
   This driver tracks mm's in a per-device hash
   table (dev_priv->mm_structs), but only has an optional use of
   mmu_notifiers.  Since it still seems to need the hash table it is
   difficult to convert.

 - amdkfd/kfd_process
   This driver is using a global SRCU hash table to track mm's

   The control flow here is very complicated and the driver is relying on
   this hash table to be fast on the ioctl syscall path.

   It would definitely benefit, but only if the ioctl path didn't need to
   do the search so often.

This series is already entangled with patches in the hmm & RDMA tree and
will require some git topic branches for the RDMA ODP stuff. I intend for
it to go through the hmm tree.

There is a git version here:

https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/commits/mmu_notifier

Which has the required pre-patches for the RDMA ODP conversion that are
still being reviewed.

Jason Gunthorpe (11):
  mm/mmu_notifiers: hoist do_mmu_notifier_register down_write to the
    caller
  mm/mmu_notifiers: do not speculatively allocate a mmu_notifier_mm
  mm/mmu_notifiers: add a get/put scheme for the registration
  misc/sgi-gru: use mmu_notifier_get/put for struct gru_mm_struct
  hmm: use mmu_notifier_get/put for 'struct hmm'
  RDMA/odp: use mmu_notifier_get/put for 'struct ib_ucontext_per_mm'
  RDMA/odp: remove ib_ucontext from ib_umem
  drm/radeon: use mmu_notifier_get/put for struct radeon_mn
  drm/amdkfd: fix a use after free race with mmu_notifer unregister
  drm/amdkfd: use mmu_notifier_put
  mm/mmu_notifiers: remove unregister_no_release
