[PATCH v1 1/4] mm/hmm: HMM API for P2P DMA to device zone pages

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

 



From: Yonatan Maman <Ymaman@xxxxxxxxxx>

hmm_range_fault() natively triggers a page fault on device private
pages, migrating them to RAM. In some cases, such as with RDMA devices,
the migration overhead between the device (e.g., GPU) and the CPU, and
vice-versa, significantly damages performance. Thus, enabling Peer-to-
Peer (P2P) DMA access for device private page might be crucial for
minimizing data transfer overhead.

This change introduces an API to support P2P connections for device
private pages by implementing the following:

 - Leveraging the struct pagemap_ops for P2P Page Callbacks. This
   callback involves mapping the page to MMIO and returning the
   corresponding PCI_P2P page.

 - Utilizing hmm_range_fault for Initializing P2P Connections. The API
   also adds the HMM_PFN_REQ_TRY_P2P flag option for the
   hmm_range_fault caller to initialize P2P. If set, hmm_range_fault
   attempts initializing the P2P connection first, if the owner device
   supports P2P, using p2p_page. In case of failure or lack of support,
   hmm_range_fault will continue with the regular flow of migrating the
   page to RAM.

This change does not affect previous use-cases of hmm_range_fault,
because both the caller and the page owner must explicitly request and
support it to initialize P2P connection.
