[PATCH v2 2/2] dma-buf: heaps: Map system heap pages as managed by linux vm

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

 



Currently system heap maps its buffers with VM_PFNMAP flag using
remap_pfn_range. This results in such buffers not being accounted
for in PSS calculations because vm treats this memory as having no
page structs. Without page structs there are no counters representing
how many processes are mapping a page and therefore PSS calculation
is impossible.
Historically, ION driver used to map its buffers as VM_PFNMAP areas
due to memory carveouts that did not have page structs [1]. That
is not the case anymore and it seems there was desire to move away
from remap_pfn_range [2].
Dmabuf system heap design inherits this ION behavior and maps its
pages using remap_pfn_range even though allocated pages are backed
by page structs.
Replace remap_pfn_range with vm_insert_page, following Laura's suggestion
in [1]. This would allow correct PSS calculation for dmabufs.
