[PATCH v5 00/11] Support repeated mappings in GPUVM and Panthor

[PATCH v5 00/11] Support repeated mappings in GPUVM and Panthor

[Adrián Larumbe]

This patch series adds OP_MAP_REPEAT flag, which lets the user map a BO
region over an address range repeatedly with just one map operation.

Sparse resources in the Vulkan API let the user leave regions of a
resource unmapped (from the API perspective.) Accesses to such regions
must not result in program termination, but loads produce undefined
values.

To implement this feature on Mali hardware, Vulkan sparse unmap is
implemented by mapping the specified region to a "dummy bo" so that the
accesses do not fault. A newly created sparse resource starts off
unmapped, and therefore also has to be mapped to the "dummy bo".  This
"dummy bo" is small (a page size) in comparison to the sizes of va
ranges that we might want to map to it, and a large number of vm_bind
ops can be necessary. For example, if the user were to create a
100e6-byte sparse resident resource, we'd have to poke VM_BIND with
ceil(100e6/0x1000)=24415 map operations.

OP_MAP_REPEAT addresses this particular inefficiency by letting us
implement a single Vulkan sparse unmap operation and sparse resident
resource initialization with just one map operation.

Changes in v5:
 - Minor fixes to drm_gpuvm.c.
 - Add panthor MMU page sizes device queriable param.
 - Add helper to make sure unmaps of repeated regions are correct.
 - Some fixes to Panthor's repeat mappings implementation.
 - Lump arguments to panthor_vm_prepare_map_op_ctx into a single struct.

Changes in v4:
 - Fixed the warnings reported by the kernel test robot.
  https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202507041635.WyDu3TQ1-lkp@intel.com/
 - Fixed the warnings reported by the CI.
  https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/151264/

No changes in v3.

Changes in v2:
 - Make panthor use this stuff.
 - Make it possible to express a repeated mappina of any suitably sized
  and aligned range of a BO, rather than strictly the page size -sized
  prefix, generalizing the API. Rename DRM_GPUVA_SINGLE_PAGE to
  DRM_GPUVA_REPEAT.
 - Clean up parts of drm/gpuvm affected by these changes.

[PATCH v5 01/11] drm/panthor: Expose GPU page sizes to UM

[Adrián Larumbe]

In future commits that will implement repeated mappings, only repeat
values multiple of GPU page sizes will be tolerated. That means these
values must be made known to UM. Do it through a queriable GPU info
value.

drm_gpuva_find_prev() seems to be unused too.

[PATCH v5 03/11] drm/gpuvm: Fix comment to reflect remap operation operand status

[Adrián Larumbe]

When a new mapping intersects with an existing GPU VA, but either
end lies before or beyond the existing VA's edges, then the prev
and next mapping operations part of a remap will reflect this
condition by being set to NULL.

[PATCH v5 04/11] drm/gpuvm: Add a helper to check if two VA can be merged

[Adrián Larumbe]

From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@collabora.com>

We are going to add flags/properties that will impact the VA merging
ability. Instead of sprinkling tests all over the place in
__drm_gpuvm_sm_map(), let's add a helper aggregating all these checks
can call it for every existing VA we walk through in the
__drm_gpuvm_sm_map() loop.

Not public, but please add some documentation regardless; it's not very obvious

signature.

IIRC, previously this was a temporary struct drm_gpuva; this seems better (also
because its scope is limited to this function), but it still feels like an
abuse of this structure.

Anyways, I get that you want it for the swap() trick below, but I think it can
also easily be done without the swap() trick. What about this?

	static bool can_merge(struct drm_gpuvm *gpuvm, const struct drm_gpuva *va,

Please use wrapping_sub() to make it clear to sanitizers etc that
underflow is intentional in this case.

[PATCH v5 05/11] drm/gpuvm: Add a flags field to drm_gpuva_op_map

[Adrián Larumbe]

From: Asahi Lina <lina+kernel@asahilina.net>

drm_gpuva objects have a flags field. Currently, this can be managed by
drivers out-of-band, without any special handling in drm_gpuvm.

To be able to introduce flags that do affect the logic in the drm_gpuvm
core, we need to plumb it through the map calls. This will allow the
core to check the flags on map and alter the merge/split logic depending

This has nothing to do with this patch, the commit message only talks about
adding flags to struct drm_gpuva_op_map.

Please create a new patch for further changes, v4 of this was fine as is.

Please drop this indirection if the only criteria is that both must be sparse.

Again, this has nothing to do with this commit, please add a separate patch for
this with a proper commit message explaining the motivation.

Also, this callback appears to be unused and seems to contradict the static
check for compatible merge flags in the hunk above.

[PATCH v5 06/11] drm/gpuvm: Add DRM_GPUVA_REPEAT flag and logic

[Adrián Larumbe]

From: Asahi Lina <lina+kernel@asahilina.net>

To be able to support "fake sparse" mappings without relying on GPU page
fault handling, drivers may need to create large (e.g. 4GiB) mappings of
the same page repeatedly (or same range of pages). Doing this through
individual mappings would be very wasteful. This can be handled better
by using a flag on map creation, but to do it safely, drm_gpuvm needs to
be aware of this special case.

Add a flag that signals that a given mapping is a page mapping, which is
repeated all over the entire requested VA range. This tweaks the
sm_map() logic to treat the GEM offsets differently when mappings are
a repeated ones so they are not incremented as they would be with regular
mappings.

The size of the GEM portion to repeat is passed through
drm_gpuva::gem::range. Most of the time it will be a page size, but
it can be bigger as long as it's less than drm_gpuva::va::range, and
drm_gpuva::va::range is a multiple of drm_gpuva::gem::range.

In v4 I also mentioned:

	I also think this feature deserves its own section in the global GPUVM
	documentation -- please add a corresponding paragraph.

	Also it seems that we need to update the documentation which shows all potential
	cases when calling __drm_gpuvm_sm_map() [1].

	[1] https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/drm-mm.html#split-and-merge

Why did this not happen?

This seems to be a repeating pattern, can we factor this into a helper?

[PATCH v5 07/11] drm/gpuvm: Ensure correctness of unmap/remaps of repeated regions

[Adrián Larumbe]

When an unmap or map operation that leads to a remap intersects with a
GPU VA that spans over a repeated range, the newly spawned VAs must
preserve the repeated property, ie, VA's range must be a multiple of
gem.range, and also the VA's start address must be on a gem.range
boundary. When this doesn't hold, disallow such operations and notify
UM with an invalid argument error.

I think the name is misleading, this is called from both __drm_gpuvm_sm_map()
and __drm_gpuvm_sm_unmap().

Can't this be covered with two calls to drm_gpuva_find_first()? I.e. for the
last you can call drm_gpuva_find_first(gpuvm, req_end - 1, 1), as you are only
interested if it spans across the req_end boundary.

This way this becomes O(log N) rather than O(N), where N can actually be very
large.

How can this ever happen? Why do we need to check it here? If that's invalid
reject it when creating the VA instead.

[PATCH v5 08/11] drm/panthor: Add support for repeated mappings

[Adrián Larumbe]

From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@collabora.com>

This allows us to optimize mapping of a relatively small
portion of a BO over and over in a large VA range, which
is useful to support Vulkan sparse bindings in an efficient
way.

When a GPUVA remap is triggered as a consequence of a VM operation
insersecting with existing VAs, when mapping the split VAs one must take

So other drivers pass a NULL (xe) operation to their VM BIND which
then goes into the kernel and is handled in the backend to write the
special sparse PT entry.

Can't you just do the same thing in the driver backend, have a dummy
bo allocated in the kernel and map the pages to it when you see a NULL
mapping,

or does this mess up some accounting or refcounts?

We could. There's been some ongoing talk among Collaborans about whether to move
all this functionality into the driver backend. We decided to keep it part of the
gpuvm core because we thought other drivers might profit from it, but if there's
no such interest, I think it's best to leave the DRM core untouched and handle
repeated mappings the way you suggested.

fwiw, msm handles this on the kernel side with a dummy page.  (No
point really in it being a full fledged gem obj)

Other drivers (asahi) have repeated repeated mapping of a single page
baked in their UAPI, see DRM_ASAHI_BIND_SINGLE_PAGE.
The out of tree downstream driver uses an earlier version of the DRM
gpuvm changes to support DRM_ASAHI_BIND_SINGLE_PAGE.
The upstream mesa driver uses this to implement Vulkan sparse resources.

I suppose this might have worked as well. I don't know what led to the
asahi UAPI but I suspect leaving things up to user-space manage to
manage was one goal.
