Currently, some drivers (e.g, Udmabuf) that want to longterm-pin the pages/folios associated with a memfd, do so by simply taking a reference on them. This is not desirable because the pages/folios may reside in Movable zone or CMA block.
Therefore, having drivers use memfd_pin_folios() API ensures that the folios are appropriately pinned via FOLL_PIN for longterm DMA. This patchset also introduces a few helpers and converts the Udmabuf driver to use folios and memfd_pin_folios() API to longterm-pin the folios for DMA. Two new Udmabuf selftests are also included to test the driver and the new API. --- Patchset overview: Patch 1-2: GUP helpers to migrate and unpin one or more folios Patch 3: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() API Patch 4-5: Udmabuf driver bug fixes for Qemu + hugetlb=on, blob=true case Patch 6-8: Convert Udmabuf to use memfd_pin_folios() and add sefltests This series is tested using the following methods: - Run the subtests added in Patch 8 - 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 - Run source ./run_vmtests.sh -t gup_test -a to check GUP regressions Changelog: v11 -> v12: - Rebased and tested on mm-unstable v10 -> v11: - Remove the version string from the patch subject (Andrew) - Move the changelog from the patches into the cover letter - Rearrange the patchset to have GUP patches at the beginning v9 -> v10: - Introduce and use unpin_folio(), unpin_folios() and check_and_migrate_movable_folios() helpers - Use a list to track the folios that need to be unpinned in udmabuf v8 -> v9: (suggestions from Matthew) - Drop the extern while declaring memfd_alloc_folio() - Fix memfd_alloc_folio() declaration to have it return struct folio * instead of struct page * when CONFIG_MEMFD_CREATE is not defined - Use folio_pfn() on the folio instead of page_to_pfn() on head page in udmabuf - Don't split the arguments to shmem_read_folio() on multiple lines in udmabuf v7 -> v8: (suggestions from David) - Have caller pass [start, end], max_folios instead of start, nr_pages - Replace offsets array with just offset into the first page - Add comments explaning the need for next_idx - Pin (and return) the folio (via FOLL_PIN) only once v6 -> v7: - Rename this API to memfd_pin_folios() and make it return folios and offsets instead of pages (David) - Don't continue processing the folios in the batch returned by filemap_get_folios_contig() if they do not have correct next_idx - Add the R-b tag from Christoph v5 -> v6: (suggestions from Christoph) - Rename this API to memfd_pin_user_pages() to make it clear that it is intended for memfds - Move the memfd page allocation helper from gup.c to memfd.c - Fix indentation errors in memfd_pin_user_pages() - For contiguous ranges of folios, use a helper such as filemap_get_folios_contig() to lookup the page cache in batches - Split the processing of hugetlb or shmem pages into helpers to simplify the code in udmabuf_create() v4 -> v5: (suggestions from David) - For hugetlb case, ensure that we only obtain head pages from the mapping by using __filemap_get_folio() instead of find_get_page_flags() - Handle -EEXIST when two or more potential users try to simultaneously add a huge page to the mapping by forcing them to retry on failure v3 -> v4: - Remove the local variable "page" and instead use 3 return statements in alloc_file_page() (David) - Add the R-b tag from David v2 -> v3: (suggestions from David) - Enclose the huge page allocation code with #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE (Build error reported by kernel test robot <l...@intel.com>) - Don't forget memalloc_pin_restore() on non-migration related errors - Improve the readability of the cleanup code associated with non-migration related errors - Augment the comments by describing FOLL_LONGTERM like behavior - Include the R-b tag from Jason v1 -> v2: - Drop gup_flags and improve comments and commit message (David) - Allocate a page if we cannot find in page cache for the hugetlbfs case as well (David) - Don't unpin pages if there is a migration related failure (David) - Drop the unnecessary nr_pages <= 0 check (Jason) - Have the caller of the API pass in file * instead of fd (Jason) Cc: David Hildenbrand <da...@redhat.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <wi...@infradead.org> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <h...@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <a...@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vet...@ffwll.ch> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.krav...@oracle.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hu...@google.com> Cc: Peter Xu <pet...@redhat.com> Cc: Jason Gunthorpe <j...@nvidia.com> Cc: Gerd Hoffmann <kra...@redhat.com> Cc: Dongwon Kim <dongwon....@intel.com> Cc: Junxiao Chang <junxiao.ch...@intel.com> Vivek Kasireddy (8): mm/gup: Introduce unpin_folio/unpin_folios helpers mm/gup: Introduce check_and_migrate_movable_folios() mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios udmabuf: Use vmf_insert_pfn and VM_PFNMAP for handling mmap udmabuf: Add back support for mapping hugetlb pages udmabuf: Convert udmabuf driver to use folios udmabuf: Pin the pages using memfd_pin_folios() API selftests/udmabuf: Add tests to verify data after page migration drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c | 231 +++++++++--- include/linux/memfd.h | 5 + include/linux/mm.h | 5 + mm/gup.c | 346 +++++++++++++++--- mm/memfd.c | 34 ++ .../selftests/drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c | 151 +++++++- 6 files changed, 662 insertions(+), 110 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0
