Subject: [PATCH 00/11] dma-mapping: add dma_alloc_attrs_node() and dma_alloc_coherent_node()
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 10:44:22 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106184433.761422-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi!
On NUMA systems networking drivers want to allocate rings
and buffers close to the NAPI-handling core rather than
allocating all from where the device is connected.
Looks like we have accumulated 6 drivers which do:
set_dev_node(dma_dev, numa_node);
va = dma_alloc_coherent(...);
set_dev_node(dma_dev, old_node);
Introduce dma_alloc_coherent_node() so that such racy
hacks are no longer necessary.
Note that making dma_map_ops->alloc() callbacks explicit-node-aware
is left for future work.
Stable tag on top of v7.4-rc1, so that we can also pull this into
the networking tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kuba/linux.git tags/dma_alloc_coherent_node
v1:
- add the API first, then wire up the node in dma-direct, iommu-dma
and CMA (Robin)
- add dma_direct_alloc_node() and keep dma_direct_alloc() as a wrapper,
swiotlb-xen uses it as its ->alloc (fixes the build on arm/arm64),
arch/x86 no longer needs changes
- docs: drop the NUMA_NO_NODE suggestion from dma-api.rst (Björn)
- docs: document that CMA does not fall back to other nodes' areas (Björn)
- docs: document which allocations ignore the node
- explain the separate GPL-only export in the commit message (Marek)
