[PATCH v4 0/3] Batch 2 of rust gem shmem work

[Lyude Paul]

Now that we're getting close to reaching the finish line for upstreaming
the rust gem shmem bindings, we've got another batch of patches that
have been reviewed and can be safely pushed to drm-rust-next
independently of the rest of the series.

These patches of course apply against the drm-rust-next branch, and are
part of the gem shmem series, the latest version of which can be found
here:

[PATCH v4 1/3] drm/gem/shmem: Extract drm_gem_shmem_init() from drm_gem_shmem_create()

[Lyude Paul]

With gem objects in rust, the most ideal way for us to be able to handle
gem shmem object creation is to be able to handle the memory allocation of
a gem object ourselves - and then have the DRM gem shmem helpers initialize
the object we've allocated afterwards. So, let's spit out
drm_gem_shmem_init() from drm_gem_shmem_create() to allow for doing this.

[PATCH v4 2/3] drm/gem/shmem: Extract drm_gem_shmem_release() from drm_gem_shmem_free()

[Lyude Paul]

At the moment, the way that we currently free gem shmem objects is not
ideal for rust bindings. drm_gem_shmem_free() releases all of the
associated memory with a gem shmem object with kfree(), which means that
for us to correctly release a gem shmem object in rust we have to manually
drop all of the contents of our gem object structure in-place by hand
before finally calling drm_gem_shmem_free() to release the shmem resources
and the allocation for the gem object.

Since the only reason this is an issue is because of drm_gem_shmem_free()
calling kfree(), we can fix this by splitting drm_gem_shmem_free() out into
itself and drm_gem_shmem_release(), where drm_gem_shmem_release() releases
the various gem shmem resources without freeing the structure itself. With
this, we can safely re-acquire the KBox for the gem object's memory
allocation and let rust handle cleaning up all of the other struct members
automatically.

[PATCH v4 3/3] rust: Add dma_buf stub bindings

[Lyude Paul]

In order to implement the gem export callback, we need a type to represent
struct dma_buf. So - this commit introduces a set of stub bindings for
dma_buf. These bindings provide a ref-counted DmaBuf object, but don't
currently implement any functionality for using the DmaBuf.

I can already deduce that from the fact that it's a repr(transparent)
wrapper around Opaque<bindings::dma_buf>. Invariants should provide
*additional* guarantees that can't be deduced just from the declaration.

I would reword this to say that it contains a valid dma_buf rather than
speaking about the layout.

By making these methods pub, you don't need this #[expect].

I would just drop the sentence about the aliasing rules. If the caller
performs an unsafe operation on this DmaBuf, then the safety comment on
*that* unsafe operation should justify this - it's not needed here.

And if they violate the aliasing rules with a safe operation, then
probably that safe operation should be redesigned to prevent that,
rather than having a blanket statement here.

Especially the last sentence is a bit problematic.

Wrapping a DMA-buf object should be pretty easy, the hard part is the operations on the DMA-buf object.

E.g. how are locking and sg_table creation handled?

Mind clarifying a bit what you're talking about here?

FWIW: regarding sg_table creation, we currently have two ways of doing this in
rust:

 * Manually, using the scatterlist rust bindings that were recently merged
   into drm-rust-next
 * Through a DRM helper provided by gem shmem, ATM this would be either
    - `gem::shmem::BaseObject::<T: DriverObject>::sg_table()`
    - `gem::shmem::BaseObject::<T: DriverObject>::owned_sg_table()`
      (both of these just use drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt())

However, I don't think we currently have any interactions in the bindings
we've written so far between SGTable and DmaBuf and I don't currently have any
plans for this on my roadmap.

Regarding locking: I'm not totally sure what locking you're referring to here?
To be clear - I'm explicitly /not/ trying to deal with the issue of solving
how operations on the DmaBuf object work in rust, and instead simply come up
with the bare minimum interface needed so that we can return a DmaBuf created
from the drm_gem_prime_export() helper (e.g. gem::BaseObject::prime_export())
from a driver's gem::DriverObject::export() callback. Or alternatively,
destroy it in the event that said callback fails.

Unless there's some locking interaction I missed that we need to solve to
fulfill those two goals, I'm not aware of any rust driver that needs anything
beyond that just yet. As such, I assumed this interface would touch a small
enough surface of the dma-buf API that it shouldn't set any concrete
requirements on how a fully-fledged dma-buf api in rust would work in the
future. And at the same time, still allow us to move forward with the shmem
bindings, and make sure that the surface area of the stub API is small enough
that adding the rest of the functionality to it later doesn't require any non-
trivial changes to current users.

Re: [PATCH v4 3/3] rust: Add dma_buf stub bindings

[Lyude Paul]

…though, I just realized immediately after sending that response to you that I
mentioned that this type is reference counted in the commit message - but I
never actually added an implementation for AlwaysRefCounted. So, that's at
least one additional thing I will make sure to add. Similarly though, I don't
think doing that would require us to interact with any locking or sg_tables
since we're not yet exposing any actual operations on DmaBuf.

Re: [PATCH v4 3/3] rust: Add dma_buf stub bindings

[Lyude Paul]

Agh! Sorry for the spam, I should have double checked the code before writing
this as I realized the reason I didn't implement this. Correct me if I'm wrong
here since it's the first time I've interacted very much with this API in the
kernel but: it seems like the reference counting for dma_buf objects is
intended to be used for keeping a dma_buf's fd around while userspace is still
accessing it and not for use internally by drivers themselves, correct?

Re: [PATCH v4 0/3] Batch 2 of rust gem shmem work

[Lyude Paul]

JFYI, after talking with Alice Rhyl we figured since we're not going to be
getting a user of these bindings into the kernel in time for rc6 that it made
more sense to just merge the two C-side patches into drm-misc-next instead of
drm-rust-next.

I've pushed those two patches to drm-misc-next, and am going to wait until
we've addressed Christian's concerns before looking into pushing the dma_buf
stub bindings.

Yes that is more or less correct.

The DMA-buf references are handled by the DRM layer, in other words as long as you have a GEM handle the DRM layer keeps a reference to the DMA-buf providing the backing store for this GEM handle.

So you should not mess with this reference count if not absolutely necessary.

Well exporting the buffers is trivial, but that is not really useful on its own.

So when you exported a DMA-buf you should potentially also use it in some way, e.g. command submission, rendering, scanout etc...

How do you do this without grabbing the lock on the buffer?

The usually semantics for a command submission is for example:

1. Lock all involved buffers.
2. Make sure prerequisites are meet.
3. Allocate a slot for a dma_fence on the dma_resv object.
4. Push the work to the HW.
5. Remember the work in the dma_fence slot on the dma_resv object of your DMA-buf.
6. Unlock all involved buffers.

Regards,
Christian.

Re: [PATCH v4 3/3] rust: Add dma_buf stub bindings

[Lyude Paul]

JFYI - After talking a bit to the Asahi folks, it seems like that we're

callback - so I'm going to just drop the dma_buf bits here for the next
version of the patch series
