Subject: [PATCH v9 05/13] powerpc: Prepare to support kernel handling of IOMMU map/unmap
Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 18:37:42 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1377679070-3515-6-git-send-email-aik@ozlabs.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1377679070-3515-1-git-send-email-aik@ozlabs.ru>
The current VFIO-on-POWER implementation supports only user mode
driven mapping, i.e. QEMU is sending requests to map/unmap pages.
However this approach is really slow, so we want to move that to KVM.
Since H_PUT_TCE can be extremely performance sensitive (especially with
network adapters where each packet needs to be mapped/unmapped) we chose
to implement that as a "fast" hypercall directly in "real
mode" (processor still in the guest context but MMU off).
To be able to do that, we need to provide some facilities to
access the struct page count within that real mode environment as things
like the sparsemem vmemmap mappings aren't accessible.
This adds an API function realmode_pfn_to_page() to get page struct when
MMU is off.
This adds to MM a new function put_page_unless_one() which drops a page
if counter is bigger than 1. It is going to be used when MMU is off
(for example, real mode on PPC64) and we want to make sure that page
release will not happen in real mode as it may crash the kernel in
a horrible way.
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and CONFIG_FLATMEM are supported.

Changes:
2013/07/25 (v7):
* removed realmode_put_page and added put_page_unless_one() instead.
The name has been chosen to conform the already existing
get_page_unless_zero().
* removed realmode_get_page. Instead, get_page_unless_zero() should be used
2013/07/10:
* adjusted comment (removed sentence about virtual mode)
* get_page_unless_zero replaced with atomic_inc_not_zero to minimize
effect of a possible get_page_unless_zero() rework (if it ever happens).
2013/06/27:
* realmode_get_page() fixed to use get_page_unless_zero(). If failed,
the call will be passed from real to virtual mode and safely handled.
* added comment to PageCompound() in include/linux/page-flags.h.
2013/05/20:
* PageTail() is replaced by PageCompound() in order to have the same checks
for whether the page is huge in realmode_get_page() and realmode_put_page()
