[PATCH v3 0/3] misc: fastrpc: Refactor and add userspace buffer support

[PATCH v3 0/3] misc: fastrpc: Refactor and add userspace buffer support

[Ekansh Gupta]

This series improves the FastRPC driver by first refactoring mmap and
munmap logic into helper functions, and then adding support for mapping
userspace-allocated buffers to the DSP.

Patch 1 introduces helper functions for DSP-side operations, improving
code readability and preparing for future enhancements. Patch 2 builds
on this by enabling applications to share memory allocated in userspace
(via rpcmem or DMABUF) with the DSP through SMMU, improving flexibility
and performance.

No functional changes are introduced in the first patch; the second
patch adds the new feature.

Patch [v2]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251128103428.1119696-1-ekansh.gupta@oss.qualcomm.com/

Changes in v3:
  - Added a fix to sanitize address logging.
  - Fixed type-casting.

Changes in v2:
  - Split change into meaningful patches.
  - Replaced uintptr_t with u64.
  - Fixed commit message.

[PATCH v3 1/3] misc: fastrpc: Sanitize address logging and remove tabs

[Ekansh Gupta]

Avoid printing raw addresses in driver logs by using %p for remote
buffer addresses. This reduces the risk of information leaks and
conforms to kernel logging guidelines. Remove tabs in dev_*
messages.

[PATCH v3 2/3] misc: fastrpc: Refactor mmap and munmap logic into helper functions

[Ekansh Gupta]

Refactor FastRPC mmap and munmap handling by introducing dedicated
helper functions for DSP-side operations. This change improves code
readability and separates DSP invocation logic from buffer allocation
and cleanup.

[PATCH v3 3/3] misc: fastrpc: Support mapping userspace-allocated buffers

[Ekansh Gupta]

Currently, FastRPC only supports mapping buffers allocated by the
kernel. This limits flexibility for applications that allocate memory
in userspace using rpcmem or DMABUF and need to share it with the DSP.
Add support for mapping and unmapping userspace-allocated buffers to
the DSP through SMMU. This includes handling map requests for rpcmem
and DMABUF-backed memory and providing corresponding unmap
functionality.

Would it be easier if we did away with the uintptr_t, since the protocol
seems to assume all addresses are u64s anyway?

Why is a pointer being printed at all?  That shouldn't be needed and is,
as always, a potential information leak.

Hmm, for DMABUF we need _import_ support rather than support for mapping
of userspace-allocated buffers.

For me this definitely looks like a step back. For drm/accel we are
going to have GEM-managed buffers only. Why do we need to handle
userspace-allocated buffers here?

That's correct, GEM-PRIME will handle it properly. Here, the reason to add this
change is to enable routing of DSP logs to HLOS which is done by using a shared
buffer between userspace process and DSP PD. The buffer can be allocated from
both fastrpc driver's DMA-BUF or DMABUF heap(eg. system heap).

So this shared buffer is getting mapped to both process's IOMMU device and DSP PD
with this change.

So, a mmap'd dma-buf is not necessarily pinned.  Or even backed with
pages.  So you wouldn't want to try to map a userspace vaddr from a
dma-buf to the device.

But looking at the patch, this looks more like mapping an imported
dmabuf?  Presumably going thru dma_buf_map_attachment() somewhere in
the existing fastrpc code?

I think I might have had a related problem.
I used dma_alloc_coherent() to get multiple 16kB blocks of kernel memory that
a device can access. The device has an internal 'mmu' that makes them logically
contiguous (from the device point of view).
I then wanted to mmap() a 4k (page) aligned sub-range of that kernel memory
into userspace so that it saw part of the same logically contiguous memory
as the on-device hardware.
Different parts of the devices (max 512 * 16kB) master window are used for
different things, so mmap() offset zero is different for different mmap() requests.
One of the 'old' methods still works provided the pages are physically
contiguous - which isn't the default for systems with an iommu.
IIRC there is a function that will map a single dma_alloc_coherent() allocated
buffer into userspace - but that doesn't let you offset the addresses
not join up multiple buffers.
I can't have been the only person trying to do that?

So, you have the DMA-BUF buffer. Instead of mapping it from userspace
with unclean semantics, please import the buffer.

yes, when the fd is passed to this call, first fastrpc_map_create is called which is
calling dma_buf_map_attachment[1]. After this the buffer is mapped onto DSP.

I'm assuming fastrpc_map_create is sort of importing the buffer by calling
dma_buf_map_attachment. Is this not the correct understanding? This assumption
is based on the existing part inside fastrpc_get_args, where fastrpc_map_create is
getting called for each of user passed DMA-BUF.

Moving to accel based driver is going to standardize this as the .gem_prime_import
implementation is going to handle this case.
