[PATCH v7 0/8] introduce GNTTABOP_cache_flush

[PATCH v7 0/8] introduce GNTTABOP_cache_flush

[Stefano Stabellini]

Hi all,
this patch series introduces support for GNTTABOP_cache_flush to perform
cache maintenance operation on foreign pages and reverts the current
code based on XENFEAT_grant_map_identity.

It also provides a very slow fallback by bouncing on the swiotlb buffer,
in case the hypercall is not available.

v7 introduces a flag named dma_coherent in dev_archdata and an accessor
function named is_device_dma_coherent in asm/dma-mapping.h under arm and
arm64.


Changes in v7:
- rebased on 3.18-rc1;
- rename is_dma_coherent to is_device_dma_coherent and move it to
asm/dma-mapping.h on arm and arm64;
- introduce a dma_coherent flag on arm and arm64;
- set the flags from set_arch_dma_coherent_ops.

Changes in v6:
- rename xen_is_dma_coherent to is_dma_coherent;
- use of_dma_is_coherent to detect the dma coherency of a device;
- remove arch/arm64/include/asm/xen/page-coherent.h, include
../../arm/include/asm/xen/page-coherent.h instead;
- fix indentation.

Changes in v5:
- introduce xen_is_dma_coherent as a xen specific function;
- call xen_is_dma_coherent instead of is_dma_coherent;
- introduce xen_is_dma_coherent to
arch/arm64/include/asm/xen/page-coherent.h;
- do not remove arch/arm64/include/asm/xen/page-coherent.h, add
the missing dma_ops calls from it;
- fix indentation;
- rename hypercall_flush to hypercall_cflush;
- remove spurious change.

Changes in v4:
- remove outer_*_range call;
- introduce is_dma_coherent;
- use is_dma_coherent in arch/arm/xen/mm32.c;
- merge xen/mm32.c into xen/mm.c;
- xen/arm/arm64: introduce xen_arch_need_swiotlb;
- avoid bouncing dma map operations that involve foreign grants and
non-coherent devices if GNTTABOP_cache_flush is provided by Xen.

Changes in v3:
- fix the cache maintenance op call to match what Linux does natively;
- update the hypercall interface to match Xen.

Changes in v2:
- remove the definition of XENFEAT_grant_map_identity;
- update the hypercall interface to match Xen;
- call the interface on a single page at a time.

[PATCH v7 1/8] xen/arm: remove handling of XENFEAT_grant_map_identity

[Stefano Stabellini]

The feature has been removed from Xen. Also Linux cannot use it on ARM32
without CONFIG_ARM_LPAE.

It would be nicer if the dma_coherent flag didn't have to be duplicated by
each architecture in dev_archdata. Is there any reason not to put it in the
core code?

Yes, there is a reason for it: if I added a boolean dma_coherent flag in
struct device as Catalin initially suggested, what would be the default
for each architecture? Where would I set it for arch that don't use
device tree? It is not easy.

I thought it would be better to introduce is_device_dma_coherent only on
the architectures where it certainly makes sense to have it. In fact I
checked and arm and arm64 are the only architectures to define
set_arch_dma_coherent_ops at the moment. At that point if
is_device_dma_coherent becomes arch-specific, it makes sense to store
the flag in dev_archdata instead of struct device.

The proposition from Will looks reasonable for me too, because
there is "small" side-effect of adding such kind of properties to
arch-specific data or even to the core device structure. ;(

There are some sub-systems in kernel which do not create their devices
from DT and instead some host device populates its children devices manually.
 Now, I know at least two cases:
- usb: dwc3 core creates xhci device manually
- pci: adds its client devices

In such, case DMA configuration have to be propagated from host to
child (in our case host device's got DMA configuration from DT), like:
	dma_set_coherent_mask(&xhci->dev, dwc->dev->coherent_dma_mask);

	xhci->dev.parent	= dwc->dev;
	xhci->dev.dma_mask	= dwc->dev->dma_mask;
	xhci->dev.dma_parms	= dwc->dev->dma_parms;

So, once new DMA property is added it has to be propagated from 
host to child device too.

Recently, the new property  dma_pfn_offset was introduced in struct device 
and such kind of problem was observed on keystone 2:
- for usb case it was fixed using Platform Bus notifier (xhci - platform device)
- for pci - the work is in progress, because solution with PCI Bus notifier
  was rejected https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/10/308.

In general, if dma_coherent will belong to struct device then
such problems will be possible to fix directly in drivers/subsystems:
xhci->dev.dma_coherent	= dwc->dev->dma_coherent;

But, if it will be arch-specific data then it will be impossible to
set it without introducing proper and arch-specific setters/getters functions.

Also, as an idea, we are thinking about introducing something like:
  void dma_apply_parent_cfg(struct device *dev, struct device *parent)
which will ensure that all DMA configuration properly copied from
parent to children device. Now it should be (as minimum for ARM):
 dma_mask
 coherent_dma_mask
 dma_parms
 dma_pfn_offset
 dev_archdata->dma_ops
 [dma_coherent]?

I understand your concern but the problem you have goes far beyond a
simple dma_coherent flag: what about all the other dev_archdata fields?
Aside from dma_ops, on some other architectures there might be other
data structrures in dev_archdata that need to be properly initialized
from the parent.

Your idea of introducing something like dma_apply_parent_cfg is the only
solid solution I can see.  However I would consider naming it something
more generic like init_dev_from_parent to handle other possible
configurations (inside or outside dev_archdata) that might have to be
initialized from information on the parent device.


Regarding the dma_coherent flag, I still prefer this approach because
introducing the dma_coherent flag in dev_archdata wouldn't make this
issue any worse than already is, but would avoid other problems as
mentioned in my previous reply.

You don't need to. An architecture that has coherent DMA always doesn't
need to do anything. One that has non-coherent DMA always only needs to
select HAVE_DMA_NONCOHERENT. One that has a mix of both needs to find a
way to set dev->dma_coherent. Since that's a new API you introduce, it
doesn't break any existing architectures.

Note that if !is_device_dma_coherent(), it doesn't always mean that
standard cache maintenance would be enough (but that's a Xen problem,
not sure how to solve).

I am not sure that this is better than the current patch but I can see
that this approach is not too controversial, so I am happy to go with
whatever the maintainers prefer.

It is a thorny issue indeed.
Xen would need to know how to do non-standard cache maintenance
operations.
Otherwise we would need to resurrect XENFEAT_grant_map_identity (that I
am reverting in this series) and be content with having CONFIG_XEN_DOM0
depend on CONFIG_ARM_LPAE.

I think that this would need to be #ifdef'ed as it is possible to have
OF support but no HAVE_DMA_NONCOHERENT (PPC?).

I guess we would have to #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_NONCOHERENT the
dma_coherent flag, right? Otherwise architecures that do not select
CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_NONCOHERENT (x86 for example) would end up with a flag
in struct device that doesn't reflect the properties of the device (dma
coherent devices with dev->dma_coherent == 0).

Overall it is a lot of ifdefs for not so much code sharing.

Functionally it is the same, but just less code duplication.

Is EL2 hyp or EL1 dom0 doing such maintenance? If the latter, you could
just use the currently registered dma ops.

So what does buy you? Is it just the hope that with LPAE you won't have
weird system caches?

The field is always there. But with !HAVE_DMA_NONCOHERENT,
is_device_dma_coherent() would always return 1. You could avoid
defining is_device_dma_coherent() entirely when !HAVE_DMA_NONCOHERENT,
it wouldn't be worse than your patch in terms of an undefined function.

In my proposal you should not read this field directly but rather access
it only via is_device_dma_coherent() (you can add a function for setting
it as well).

Let me explain a bit more and let's assume there is no SMMU.

The problem is not normal dma originating in dom0, currently mapped 1:1
(pseudo-physical == physical). The problem are dma operations that
involve foreign pages (pages belonging to other virtual machines)
currently mapped also in dom0 to do IO. It is common for the Xen PV
network and block frontends to grant access to one or more pages to the
network and block backends for IO. The backends, usually in dom0, map
the pages and perform the actual IO. Sometimes the IO is a dma operation
that involves one of the granted pages directly.

For these pages, the pseudo-physical address in dom0 is different from
the physical address. Dom0 keeps track of the pseudo-physical to
physical relationship (pfn_to_mfn in Xen terminology). The swiotlb-xen
driver makes sure to return the right mfn from map_page and map_sg.

However some of the dma_ops give you only a dma_addr_t handle
(unmap_page and unmap_sg), that is the physical address of the page.
Dom0 doesn't know how to find the pseudo-physical address corresponding
to it. Therefore it also doesn't know how to find the struct page for
it. This is not a trivial problem to solve as the same page can be
granted multiple times, therefore could have multiple pseudo-physical
addresses and multiple struct pages corresponding to one physical
address in dom0.

Fortunately these dma_ops don't actually need to do much. In fact they
only need to flush caches if the device is not dma-coherent. So the
current proposed solution is to issue an hypercall to ask Xen to do the
flushing, passing the physical address dom0 knows.

The older solution that this series is reverting, is based on
XENFEAT_grant_map_identity, that was a feature offered by Xen, already
reverted in the hypervisor. XENFEAT_grant_map_identity told dom0 that
the hypervisor mapped foreign pages at the address requested by dom0
*and* at pseudo-physical == physical address. That way Dom0 could always
find the page at pseudo-physical == physical address and do the flushing
there. However it only works if Dom0 is compiled with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE
(a non-LPAE kernel is not guaranteed to be able to reach the
pseudo-physical address in question) and we didn't want to introduce
that limitation so we changed approach.

This is the part that I don't like: on other architectures you now have a
field in struct device that is actually incorrect. It is true that one
should call the accessor function to read the property but still...

As I don't feel that strongly against it, I'll resend including this

So what is arch/arm/xen/mm32.c cache maintenance for? Doesn't it run in
dom0?

For my understanding, xen_dma_map_page() is called from dom0 and it
simply calls the __generic_dma_ops()->map_page(). The "page" argument
here is the dom0 page and it gets translated to dom0 phys and then to a
bus address via xen_phys_to_bus().

On arm64, __swiotlb_map_page() uses the page structure to get some
pseudo device address which gets converted back to a dom0 virtual
address. The latter is used for cache maintenance by VA in dom0. With
PIPT-like caches, that's fine, you don't need the actual machine PA
unless you have caches like PL310 (which are not compatible with
virtualisation anyway and the latest ARMv8 ARM even makes a clear
statement here).

(one potential problem here is the dma_capable() check in
swiotlb_map_page() (non-xen) which uses the pseudo device address)

The interesting part is that xen_swiotlb_map_page() returns the real
machine device address to dom0, which is different from what dom0 thinks
of a device address (phys_to_dma(phys_to_page(page))). Does dom0 use
such real/machine device address to program the device directly or there
is another layer where you could do the translation?

OK, I started to get it now, the __swiotlb_unmap_page() on arm64, if
called from dom0, would get the machine device address and dma_to_phys()
does not work.

So what is mfn_to_pfn() and xen_bus_to_phys() used for? Isn't
mfn_to_pfn(pfn_to_mfn(x)) an identity function?

I really don't like the dma_cache_maint() duplication you added in
arch/arm/xen/mm32.c just because you cannot call the host dma_ops when
the page is not available.

You basically only need a VA that was mapped in dom0 when map_page() was
called and is still mapped when page_unmap() is called. You can free the
actual mapping after calling __generic_dma_ops()->unmap_page() in
xen_dma_unmap_page() (in xen_unmap_single()).

BTW, drivers/xen/swiotlb-xen.c needs something like:

        dma_addr_t dev_addr = xen_phys_to_bus(phys_to_dma(phys));

phys != bus address.

Wrong place, what I meant is when calling:

Well spotted! This is an actual mistake in the current code, independent
from the problem described before. Julien reported it a couple of days
ago and I have already queued a patch to fix it at the end of the
series.

This patch series changes that code path specifically. As a matter of
fact it removes mm32.c.
Before this patch series, cache maintenance in dom0 was being done with
XENFEAT_grant_map_identity (see explanation in previous email).
After this patch series, an hypercall is made when foreign pages are
involved, see patch 8/8, the if(!pfn_valid(pfn)) code path. Local pages
are still flushed in dom0.

No other layer. Dom0 uses the real/machine device address returned by
xen_phys_to_bus to program the device directly.

They are not used on ARM. But swiotlb-xen is not ARM specific and
xen_bus_to_phys is still important on x86. It works differently there.


> Isn't mfn_to_pfn(pfn_to_mfn(x)) an identity function?

Yes, it should be and it is for local pages.
However it is not an identity function for foreign pages, because
mfn_to_pfn is broken and just returns pfn on ARM, while pfn_to_mfn works
correctly.

I agree is bad, but this patch series is a big step forward removing the
duplication. In fact now that I think about it, when a page is local (not a
foreign page) I could just call the host dma_ops. mm.c:dma_cache_maint
would only be used for foreign pages (pages for which !pfn_valid(pfn)).

That is true, but where would I store the mapping?

I don't want to introduce another data structure to keep physical to va
or physical to struct page mappings that I need to modify at every
map_page and unmap_page. It wouldn't even be a trivial data structure as
multiple dma operations involving the same mfn but different struct page
can happen simultaneously.

The performance hit of maintaining such a data structure would be
significant.

It would negatively impact any dma operations involving any devices,
including dma coherent ones. While this series only requires special
handling of dma operations involving non-coherent devices (resulting in
an hypercall being made).

In a way this series rewards hardware that makes life easier to software
developers :-)

Well, it actually merges it into another file, dma_cache_maint() still
remains.

OK. One question I had though is whether pfn_valid(mfn) is always false for
foreign pages. IIUC, dom0 uses a 1:1 pfn:mfn mapping, so it would work.
But from what I gather, there can be other guest, not necessarily dom0,
handling the DMA in which case, if it doesn't use a 1:1 pfn:mfn mapping,
your pfn_valid(mfn) check would no longer work for foreign pages.

Indeed. I already replied to patch 6/8. This way I think you can remove
dma_cache_maint() duplication entirely, just add one specific to foreign
pages.

What I would like to see is xen_dma_map_page() also using hyp calls for
cache maintenance when !pfn_valid(), for symmetry with unmap. You would
need another argument to xen_dma_map_page() though to pass the real
device address or mfn (and on the map side you could simply check for
page_to_pfn(page) != mfn). For such cases, Xen swiotlb already handles
bouncing so you don't need dom0 swiotlb involved as well.

There would indeed be a performance hit especially for sg ops.

I only need the pfn_valid() clarification now together with the
map/unmap symmetry fix.

I think for the time being is_device_dma_coherent() can stay as an
arch-only function as it is only used by Xen on arm/arm64. If we later
need this on other architectures, we can make it generic.

We don't support assigning devices to guests other than dom0 without an
SMMU. With an SMMU it should all be transparent. Either way the
pfn_valid check should always work.

Yes, that was a very good suggestion, the code is much cleaner now.

I can see that it would be nice to have map_page and unmap_page be
symmetrical. However actually doing the map_page flush with an hypercall
would slow things down. Hypercalls are slower than function calls. It is
faster to do the cache flushing in dom0 if possible. In the map_page
case we have the struct page so we can easily do it by calling the
native dma_ops function.

Maybe I could just add a comment to explain the reason for the asymmetry?

Uhm... I haven't thought about using dev_archdata. It might simplify the
problem a bit. I'll have to think it over. It could be 3.19 or 3.20
material.

Ah, but the problem is that map_page could allocate a swiotlb buffer
(actually it does on arm64) that without a corresponding unmap_page
call, would end up being leaked, right?

Oh well.. two hypercalls it is then :-/

Yes. You could hack dma_capable() to always return true for dom0
(because the pfn/dma address here doesn't have anything to do with the
real mfn) but that's more of a hack assuming a lot about the swiotlb
implementation.

> Oh well.. two hypercalls it is then :-/

That looks cleaner to me (though I haven't seen the code yet ;)).

Alternatively, you could keep a permanent page (per-cpu) in dom0 that
you ask the hypervisor to point at the mfn just for the unmap cache
maintenance (similarly to the kernel kmap_atomic used for cache
maintenance on high pages). This could be more expensive but, OTOH, you
only need the hyp call on the unmap path. The is_device_dma_coherent()
would still remain to avoid any unnecessary map/unmap calls but for
non-coherent devices you use whatever the SoC provides.

Another idea would be to avoid calling the native map_page for foreign
pages, but in the xen specific implementation instead of making the
hypercall, we could call __dma_map_area on arm64 and map_page on arm.

Something like this:


In arch/arm/include/asm/xen/page-coherent.h:

static inline void xen_dma_map_page(struct device *hwdev, struct page *page,
	     dma_addr_t dev_addr, unsigned long offset, size_t size,
	     enum dma_data_direction dir, struct dma_attrs *attrs)
{
	if (pfn_valid(PFN_DOWN(dev_addr))) {
		if (__generic_dma_ops(hwdev)->map_page)
			__generic_dma_ops(hwdev)->map_page(hwdev, page, offset, size, dir, attrs);
	} else
		__xen_dma_map_page(hwdev, page, dev_addr, offset, size, dir, attrs);
}



In arch/arm/xen/mm.c:

void __xen_dma_map_page(struct device *hwdev, struct page *page,
	     dma_addr_t dev_addr, unsigned long offset, size_t size,
	     enum dma_data_direction dir, struct dma_attrs *attrs)
{
	if (is_device_dma_coherent(hwdev))
		return;
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM64
	__dma_map_area(page_to_phys(page) + offset, size, dir);
#else
	__generic_dma_ops(hwdev)->map_page(hwdev, page, offset, size, dir, attrs);
#endif
}


It wouldn't be as nice as using the hypercall but it would be faster and
wouldn't depend on the inner workings of the arm64 implementation of
map_page, except for __dma_map_area.

The problem here is that you assume that for an SoC that is not fully
coherent all it needs is __dma_map_area. If you look at mach-mvebu, the
DMA is nearly cache coherent but it needs some specific synchronisation
barrier at the interconnect level. If we get something like this on a
platform with virtualisation, it would be implemented at the dom0 level
by SoC-specific DMA ops. Xen hypervisor I assume has its own BSP, hence
it could implement SoC specific cache flushing there. But with the mix
of cache flushing in dom0 on map and hypervisor on unmap such thing is
no longer be possible in a nice way.

BTW, pfn_valid() is more expensive than simply comparing the mfn with
pfn for dom0. The calling code knows this already and it may be quicker
to simply pass a "bool foreign" argument.

This "except" is big as we may at some point get some SoC like mvebu (I
would say less likely for arm64 than arm32).

BTW, does the Xen hypervisor already have a mapping of the mfn? If not
and it has to create one temporarily for the flush, you may not lose
much by using the dom0 ops for unmap with a hyper call for temporarily
mapping the foreign page in dom0's IPA space (you could do the unmapping
lazily).

Yes, Xen has its own little platform files.

I think you convinced me that having map in Linux and unmap in Xen is
not a long term solid solution.

Good point, I can compare mfn and pfn here.
I cannot do the same in unmap_page and the various sync operations,
because there is no pfn available, but maybe I could use
set_page_private to set a flag. I'll think about it.

On arm64, it does.
On arm32, we have a pool of mappings, when we run out we start
overwriting old mappings.

That's true. Fortunately on arm64 we are OK.

But of course there is no struct page either so I think pfn_valid will
have to stay in unmap and sync

[PATCH v7 5/8] xen/arm: use is_device_dma_coherent

[Stefano Stabellini]

Use is_device_dma_coherent to check whether we need to issue cache
maintenance operations rather than checking on the existence of a
particular dma_ops function for the device.

This is correct because coherent devices don't need cache maintenance
operations - arm_coherent_dma_ops does not set the hooks that we
were previously checking for existance.

[PATCH v7 6/8] xen/arm/arm64: merge xen/mm32.c into xen/mm.c

[Stefano Stabellini]

Merge xen/mm32.c into xen/mm.c.
As a consequence the code gets compiled on arm64 too: introduce a few
compat functions to actually be able to compile it.

Since I missed the commit introducing mm32.c (340720be32d4 xen/arm:
reimplement xen_dma_unmap_page & friends), I'll add a retrospective NAK ;).

The main reason is the asymmetry between dma map and unmap. With host
swiotlb somehow getting !dma_capable(dev), you even risk leaking dom0
swiotlb bounce buffers (on arm64).

Is this the pfn or the mfn? As you said in the previous email, there is
no mfn_to_pfn() conversion, so that's actually in another address space
where dom0 pfn_valid() would not make sense.

Do you use this as a check for foreign pages? If yes, is the mfn for
such pages guaranteed to be different from any valid dom0 pfn?

What does this TODO mean here? Which cases are not covered yet?

> +               } else {

If the pfn here is correct, can you not just have something like:

void xen_dma_unmap_page(struct device *hwdev, dma_addr_t handle,
		size_t size, enum dma_data_direction dir,
		struct dma_attrs *attrs)

{
	unsigned long pfn = handle >> PAGE_SHIFT;	/* could use some macros */
	if (!pfn_valid(pfn)) {
		/* FIXME */
		return;
	}
	__generic_dma_ops(hwdev)->unmap_page(hwdev, handle, size, dir, attrs);
}

That is actually the mfn. The check works because dom0 is mapped 1:1, so
if the mfn is a valid pfn, then it means that it is a local page.

Yes and yes

We are going to fill in the cache flush implementation for foreign pages
later, in patch 8/8.

Yes, this is possible. Then in patch 8/8 I could remove the FIXME and
add a call to a function that issues the new GNTTABOP_cache_flush
hypercall. It would also remove the asymmetry you mentioned before
because we could do the same for map_page.

So the Xen DMA ops would never be called on anything other than dom0? If
that's correct, the pfn_valid() check would work. But add some big
comments as it's not clear at all to someone not familiar with Xen.

Yeah...

[PATCH v7 7/8] xen/arm/arm64: introduce xen_arch_need_swiotlb

[Stefano Stabellini]

Introduce an arch specific function to find out whether a particular dma
mapping operation needs to bounce on the swiotlb buffer.

On ARM and ARM64, if the page involved is a foreign page and the device
is not coherent, we need to bounce because at unmap time we cannot
execute any required cache maintenance operations (we don't know how to
find the pfn from the mfn).

No change of behaviour for x86.

[PATCH v7 8/8] xen/arm: introduce GNTTABOP_cache_flush

[Stefano Stabellini]

Introduce support for new hypercall GNTTABOP_cache_flush.
Use it to perform cache flashing on pages used for dma when necessary.

If GNTTABOP_cache_flush is supported by the hypervisor, we don't need to
bounce dma map operations that involve foreign grants and non-coherent
devices.

Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com>
Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>

---

Changes in v5:
- rename hypercall_flush to hypercall_cflush;
- remove spurious change.

Changes in v4:
- add comment;
- avoid bouncing dma map operations that involve foreign grants and
non-coherent devices if GNTTABOP_cache_flush is provided by Xen.

Changes in v3:
- fix the cache maintenance op call to match what Linux does natively;
- update the hypercall interface to match Xen.

Changes in v2:
- update the hypercall interface to match Xen;
- call the interface on a single page at a time.
