[PATCH 1/2] mm/cma: remove unsupported gfp_mask parameter from cma_alloc()

[PATCH 1/2] mm/cma: remove unsupported gfp_mask parameter from cma_alloc()

[Marek Szyprowski]

cma_alloc() function doesn't really support gfp flags other than
__GFP_NOWARN, so convert gfp_mask parameter to boolean no_warn parameter.

This will help to avoid giving false feeling that this function supports
standard gfp flags and callers can pass __GFP_ZERO to get zeroed buffer,
what has already been an issue: see commit dd65a941f6ba ("arm64:
dma-mapping: clear buffers allocated with FORCE_CONTIGUOUS flag").

[PATCH 2/2] dma: remove unsupported gfp_mask parameter from dma_alloc_from_contiguous()

[Marek Szyprowski]

The CMA memory allocator doesn't support standard gfp flags for memory
allocation, so there is no point having it as a parameter for
dma_alloc_from_contiguous() function. Replace it by a boolean no_warn
argument, which covers all the underlaying cma_alloc() function supports.

This will help to avoid giving false feeling that this function supports
standard gfp flags and callers can pass __GFP_ZERO to get zeroed buffer,
what has already been an issue: see commit dd65a941f6ba ("arm64:
dma-mapping: clear buffers allocated with FORCE_CONTIGUOUS flag").

Thanks! This makes perfect sense to me. If there is a real need for the
gfp_mask then we should start by defining the semantic first.

[PATCH 1/2] mm/cma: remove unsupported gfp_mask parameter from cma_alloc()

Hello, Marek.

Although gfp_mask isn't used in cma_alloc() except no_warn, it can be used
in alloc_contig_range(). For example, if passed gfp mask has no __GFP_FS,
compaction(isolation) would work differently. Do you have considered
such a case?

Thanks.

Does any of cma_alloc users actually care about GFP_NO{FS,IO}?

I don't know. My guess is that cma_alloc() is used for DMA allocation so
block device would use it, too. If fs/block subsystem initiates the
request for the device,
it would be possible that cma_alloc() is called with such a flag.
Again, I don't know
much about those subsystem so I would be wrong.

Thanks.

The patch converts existing users and none of them really tries to use
anything other than GFP_KERNEL [|__GFP_NOWARN] so this doesn't seem to
be the case. Should there be a new user requiring more restricted
gfp_mask we should carefuly re-evaluate and think how to support it.

Until then I would simply stick with the proposed approach because my
experience tells me that a wrong gfp mask usage is way too easy so the
simpler the api is the less likely we will see an abuse.

One of existing user is general DMA layer and it takes gfp flags that is
provided by user. I don't check all the DMA allocation sites but how do
you convince that none of them try to use anything other
than GFP_KERNEL [|__GFP_NOWARN]?

Thanks.

They use a few others things still like __GFP_COMP, __GPF_DMA or
GFP_HUGEPAGE.  But all these are bogus as we have various implementations
that can't respect them.  I plan to get rid of the gfp_t argument
in the dma_map_ops alloc method in a few merge windows because of that,
but it needs further implementation consolidation first.

Okay. If those flags are all, this change would be okay.

For the remind of this gfp flag introduction in cma_alloc(), see the
