The first two patches were previously reviewed but not yet merged.
These ones need to be merged first as the fourth patch depends on
the changes introduced in them and they also fix bugs seen in
very specific scenarios (running Qemu with hugetlb=on, blob=true
and rebooting guest VM).
The third patch introduces memfd_pin_folios() API and the fourth
patch converts udmabuf driver to use folios. The fifth patch shows
how the udmabuf driver can make use of the new API to longterm-pin
the folios. The last patch adds two new udmabuf selftests to verify
data coherency after potential page migration.
v2:
- Updated the first patch to include review feedback from David and
Jason. The main change in this series is the allocation of page
in the case of hugetlbfs if it is not found in the page cache.
v3:
- Made changes to include review feedback from David to improve the
comments and readability of code
- Enclosed the hugepage alloc code with #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
v4:
- Augmented the commit message of the udmabuf patch that uses
pin_user_pages_fd()
- Added previously reviewed but unmerged udmabuf patches to this
series
v5:
- Updated the patch that adds pin_user_pages_fd() to include feedback
from David to handle simultaneous users trying to add a huge page
to the mapping
- Replaced find_get_page_flags() with __filemap_get_folio() in the
second and third patches to ensure that we only obtain head pages
from the mapping
v6: (Christoph)
- Renamed the new API to memfd_pin_user_pages()
- Improved the page cache lookup efficiency by using
filemap_get_folios_contig() which uses batches
v7:
- Rename the new API to memfd_pin_folios() and make it return folios
and offsets (David)
- Added a new preparatory patch to this series to convert udmabuf
driver to use folios
v8:
- Addressed review comments from Matthew in patches 4 and 5
- Included David's suggestions to have the caller of memfd_pin_folios()
pass a range [stard, end], max_folios instead of start, nr_pages
- Ensured that a folio is pinned and unpinned only once (David)
v9:
- Drop the extern and fix the return type in the declaration of
memfd_alloc_folio() (Matthew)
- Use a list to track the folios that need to be unpinned (patch 5)
This series is tested using following methods:
- Run the subtests added in the fifth patch
- Run Qemu (master) with the following options and a few additional
patches to Spice:
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096m....
-device virtio-gpu-pci,max_outputs=1,blob=true,xres=1920,yres=1080
-spice port=3001,gl=on,disable-ticketing=on,preferred-codec=gstreamer:h264
-object memory-backend-memfd,hugetlb=on,id=mem1,size=4096M
-machine memory-backend=mem1
