[RFC PATCH v2] uacce: Add uacce_ctrl misc device

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

 



Uacce driver supports to use devices in user space safely by SVA. However,
IO page fault may happen when doing DMA operations, which will affect DMA
performance severely.

For some accelerators which need stable performance, it is better to
avoid IO page fault totally. Current memory related APIs, like mlock,
could not achieve this requirement. Idealy we should have a system call,
like "mpin", to pin related pages. However, there is no such API in
kernel, currently drivers which need pin pages implement ioctl interfaces
in their own drivers, like v412, gpu, infiniband, media, vfio etc.

This patch also tries to do this by introducing a pin user page interface in
uacce driver. This patch introduces a new char device named /dev/uacce_ctrl
to help to maintain pin/unpin pages. User space can do pin/unpin pages by
ioctls of an open file of /dev/uacce_ctrl, all pinned pages under one file
will be unpinned in file release process.
