[PATCH v2 1/3] powerpc/mm: Export flush_all_mm()

[PATCH v2 1/3] powerpc/mm: Export flush_all_mm()

[Frederic Barrat]

With the optimizations introduced by commit a46cc7a90fd8
("powerpc/mm/radix: Improve TLB/PWC flushes"), flush_tlb_mm() no
longer flushes the page walk cache with radix. This patch introduces
flush_all_mm(), which flushes everything, tlb and pwc, for a given mm.

[PATCH v2 2/3] cxl: Fix driver use count

[Frederic Barrat]

cxl keeps a driver use count, which is used with the hash memory model
on p8 to know when to upgrade local TLBIs to global and to trigger
callbacks to manage the MMU for PSL8.

If a process opens a context and closes without attaching or fails the
attachment, the driver use count is never decremented. As a
consequence, TLB invalidations remain global, even if there are no
active cxl contexts.

We should increment the driver use count when the process is attaching
to the cxl adapter, and not on open. It's not needed before the
adapter starts using the context and the use count is decremented on
the detach path, so it makes more sense.

It affects only the user api. The kernel api is already doing The
Right Thing.

I'll pick this up straight away, because it's a fix.

So you can drop this from the series.

[PATCH v2 3/3] cxl: Enable global TLBIs for cxl contexts

[Frederic Barrat]

The PSL and nMMU need to see all TLB invalidations for the memory
contexts used on the adapter. For the hash memory model, it is done by
making all TLBIs global as soon as the cxl driver is in use. For
radix, we need something similar, but we can refine and only convert
to global the invalidations for contexts actually used by the device.

So increment the 'active_cpus' count for the contexts attached to the
cxl adapter. As soon as there's more than 1 active cpu, the TLBIs for
the context become global. Active cpu count must be decremented when
detaching to restore locality if possible and to avoid overflowing the
counter.

It's not clear why it makes sense for these to be empty. Either for the
general idea of the "flush_all_mm()" API, or for your intended use by
CXL.

I was not too sure what to do for hash, but the idea is that the new 
flush_all_mm() is really the equivalent of the old flush_tlb_mm() from 
before Ben's optimizations for radix, and that was/still is an empty 
operation on hash, so I kept it that way.

We don't support hash for capi2 yet. Adding it will definitely require 
some work in that area, as the current approach (use count on the driver 
and all TLBIs becoming global when the driver is in use) won't hold much 
longer.

Why not ? It would work fine on hash, but you do need a way to flush
the TLB when decreasing the count indeed and that's missing for hash.

Cheers,
Ben.

For the future support of hash, the problem is actually not for capi2, 
but for opencapi, where we can have more than one driver. So the driver 
use count approach would need to be reworked (today the use count is in 
the driver itself). What we do for radix is better, since we make the 
TLBI global only when required, per context. But it is not trivial to do 
the same for hash, as we typically don't have the context handy when we 
send the TLBI. So we'll have to do *something* when we add support for hash.

For my more pressing needs, I'll look into triggering a LPID flush for 
the time being. It's too much but safe, and can be re-assess later when 
we add hash support.

Indeed. On hash we don't have a way to flush a PID out of the TLB,
but you can flush the whole LPID.

Cheers,
Ben.
