Patch series "mm/vdpa: correct misuse of non-direct-reclaim __GFP_NOFAIL
and improve related doc and warn", v4.
__GFP_NOFAIL carries the semantics of never failing, so its callers do not
check the return value:
%__GFP_NOFAIL: The VM implementation _must_ retry infinitely: the caller
cannot handle allocation failures. The allocation could block
indefinitely but will never return with failure. Testing for
failure is pointless.
However, __GFP_NOFAIL can sometimes fail if it exceeds size limits or is
used with GFP_ATOMIC/GFP_NOWAIT in a non-sleepable context. This patchset
handles illegal using __GFP_NOFAIL together with GFP_ATOMIC lacking
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM(without this, we can't do anything to reclaim memory
to satisfy the nofail requirement) and improve related document and
warnings.
The proper size limits for __GFP_NOFAIL will be handled separately after
more discussions.
This patch (of 3):
mm doesn't support non-blockable __GFP_NOFAIL allocation. Because
persisting in providing __GFP_NOFAIL services for non-block users who
cannot perform direct memory reclaim may only result in an endless busy
loop.
Therefore, in such cases, the current mm-core may directly return a NULL
pointer:
static inline struct page *
__alloc_pages_slowpath(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order,
struct alloc_context *ac)
{
...
if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NOFAIL) {
/*
* All existing users of the __GFP_NOFAIL are blockable, so warn
* of any new users that actually require GFP_NOWAIT
*/
if (WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(!can_direct_reclaim, gfp_mask))
goto fail;
...
}
...
fail:
warn_alloc(gfp_mask, ac->nodemask,
"page allocation failure: order:%u", order);
got_pg:
return page;
}
Unfortuantely, vpda does that nofail allocation under non-sleepable lock.
A possible way to fix that is to move the pages allocation out of the lock
into the caller, but having to allocate a huge number of pages and
auxiliary page array seems to be problematic as well per Tetsuon: " You
should implement proper error handling instead of using __GFP_NOFAIL if
count can become large."
So I chose another way, which does not release kernel bounce pages when
user tries to register userspace bounce pages. Then we can avoid
allocating in paths where failure is not expected.(e.g in the release).
We pay this for more memory usage as we don't release kernel bounce pages
but further optimizations could be done on top.

Since commit 295525e29a5b ("virtio_net: merge dma
operations when filling mergeable buffers"), VDUSE device
require support for DMA's .sync_single_for_cpu() operation
as the memory is non-coherent between the device and CPU
because of the use of a bounce buffer.
This patch implements both .sync_single_for_cpu() and
.sync_single_for_device() callbacks, and also skip bounce
buffer copies during DMA map and unmap operations if the
DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute is set to avoid extra
copies of the same buffer.

rwlock.h should not be included directly. Instead linux/splinlock.h
should be included. Including it directly will break the RT build.
Remove the rwlock.h include.

Introduce two APIs: vduse_domain_add_user_bounce_pages()
and vduse_domain_remove_user_bounce_pages() to support
adding and removing userspace pages for bounce buffers.
During adding and removing, the DMA data would be copied
from the kernel bounce pages to the userspace bounce pages
and back.

This implements an MMU-based software IOTLB to support mapping
kernel dma buffer into userspace dynamically. The basic idea
behind it is treating MMU (VA->PA) as IOMMU (IOVA->PA). The
software IOTLB will set up MMU mapping instead of IOMMU mapping
for the DMA transfer so that the userspace process is able to
use its virtual address to access the dma buffer in kernel.
To avoid security issue, a bounce-buffering mechanism is
introduced to prevent userspace accessing the original buffer
directly which may contain other kernel data. During the mapping,
unmapping, the software IOTLB will copy the data from the original
buffer to the bounce buffer and back, depending on the direction
of the transfer. And the bounce-buffer addresses will be mapped
into the user address space instead of the original one.
