[PATCH v3 00/25] drm/dumb-buffers: Fix and improve buffer-size calculation

[PATCH v3 00/25] drm/dumb-buffers: Fix and improve buffer-size calculation

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Dumb-buffer pitch and size is specified by width, height, bits-per-pixel
plus various hardware-specific alignments. The calculation of these
values is inconsistent and duplicated among drivers. The results for
formats with bpp < 8 are incorrect.

This series fixes this for most drivers. Default scanline pitch and
buffer size are now calculated with the existing 4CC helpers. There is
a new helper drm_mode_size_dumb() that calculates scanline pitch and
buffer size according to driver requirements.

The series fixes the common GEM implementations for DMA, SHMEM and
VRAM. It further changes most implementations of dumb_create to use
the new helper. A small number of drivers has more complicated
calculations and will be updated by a later patches.

v3:
- document UAPI semantics
- fall back to bpp-based allocation for unknown color modes
- cleanups
v2:
- rewrite series
- convert many individual drivers besides the shared GEM helpers

[PATCH v3 01/25] drm/dumb-buffers: Sanitize output on errors

[Thomas Zimmermann]

The ioctls MODE_CREATE_DUMB and MODE_MAP_DUMB return results into a
memory buffer supplied by user space. On errors, it is possible that
intermediate values are being returned. The exact semantics depends
on the DRM driver's implementation of these ioctls. Although this is
most-likely not a security problem in practice, avoid any uncertainty
by clearing the memory to 0 on errors.

[PATCH v3 02/25] drm/dumb-buffers: Provide helper to set pitch and size

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Add drm_modes_size_dumb(), a helper to calculate the dumb-buffer
scanline pitch and allocation size. Implementations of struct
drm_driver.dumb_create can call the new helper for their size
computations.

There is currently quite a bit of code duplication among DRM's
memory managers. Each calculates scanline pitch and buffer size
from the given arguments, but the implementations are inconsistent
in how they treat alignment and format support. Later patches will
unify this code on top of drm_mode_size_dumb() as much as possible.

drm_mode_size_dumb() uses existing 4CC format helpers to interpret
the given color mode. This makes the dumb-buffer interface behave
similar the kernel's video= parameter. Current per-driver implementations
again likely have subtle differences or bugs in how they support color
modes.

The dumb-buffer UAPI is only specified for known color modes. These
values describe linear, single-plane RGB color formats or legacy index
formats. Other values should not be specified. But some user space
still does. So for unknown color modes, there are a number of known
exceptions for which drm_mode_size_dumb() calculates the pitch from
the bpp value, as before. All other values work the same but print
an error.

v3:
- document the UAPI semantics
- compute scanline pitch from for unknown color modes (Andy, Tomi)

According to this, every driver that supports, say, NV12, should 
implement their own custom ioctl to do the exact same thing? And, of 
course, every userspace app that uses, say, NV12, should then add code 
for all these platforms to call the custom ioctls?

As libdrm's modetest currently supports YUV formats with dumb buffers, 
should we remove that code, as it's not correct and I'm sure people use 
libdrm code as a reference?

Well, I'm not serious above, but I think all my points from the earlier 
version are still valid. I don't like this. It changes the parameters of 
the ioctl (bpp used to be bits-per-pixel, not it's "color mode"), and 
the behavior of the ioctl, behavior that we've had for a very long time, 
and we have no idea how many users there are that will break (could be 
none, of course). And the documentation changes make the current 
behavior and uses wrong or legacy.

Clearly we need something new and better for the buffer allocation, but 
for the time being, I'd be more comfortable just keep the current 
behavior, at least for all the drivers I use or maintain: omapdrm, 
tidss, renesas, xlnx, tilcdc.

Yes, that's exactly the current status.

There has been discussion about a new dumb-create ioctl that takes a DRM 
format as parameter. I'm all for it, but it's out of the scope for this 
series.

Before I go into details about this statement, what use case exactly are 
you referring to when you say that behavior changes?

For every dumb_buffer allocation with bpp that is not divisible by 8, 
the result is different, i.e. instead of DIV_ROUND_UP(width * bpp, 8), 
we now have width * DIV_ROUND_UP(bpp, 8). This, of course, depends on 
the driver implementation. Some already do the latter.

This change also first calls the drm_driver_color_mode_format(), which 
could change the behavior even more, but afaics at the moment does not. 
Although, maybe some platform does width * DIV_ROUND_UP(bpp, 8) even for 
bpp < 8, and then this series changes it for 1, 2 and 4 bpps (but not 
for 3, 5, 6, 7, if I'm not mistaken).

However, as the bpp is getting rounded up, this probably won't break any 
user. But it _is_ a change in the behavior of a uapi, and every time we 
change a uapi that's been out there for a long time, I'm getting 
slightly uncomfortable.

So, as a summary, I have a feeling that nothing will break, but I can't 
say for sure. And as I'm having trouble seeing the benefit of this 
change for the user, I get even more uncomfortable.

The current dumb-buffer code does a stride computation at [1], which is 
correct for all cases; although over-allocates sometimes. It's the one 
you describe as "width * DIV_ROUND_UP(bpp, 8)". It's in the ioctl entry 
point, so it's somewhat authoritative for all driver's implementations. 
It's also used by several drivers.

The other variant, "DIV_ROUND_UP(width * bpp, 8)", is used by gem-dma, 
gem-shmem and others. It can give incorrect results and possibly OOBs. 
To give a simple example, let's allocate 15-bit XRGB1555. Bpp is 15. 
With a width of 1024, that would result in 1920 bytes per scanline. But 
because XRGB1555 has a filler bit, so the pixel is actually 16 bit and a 
scanline needs to be 2048 bytes. The new code fixes that. This is not 
just a hypothetical scenario: we do have drivers that support XRGB1555 
and some of them also export a preferred_depth of 15 to userspace. [2]  
In the nearby comment, you'll see that this value is meant for dumb buffers.

Rounding up the depth value in user space is possible for RGB, but not 
for YUV. Here different pixel planes have a different number of bits. 
Sometimes pixels are sharing bits. The value of bits-per-pixel becomes 
meaningless. That's why it's also deprecated in struct drm_format_info. 
The struct instead uses a more complicated per-plane calculation to 
compute the number of bits per plane. [3] The user-space code currently 
doing YUV on dumb buffers simply got lucky.

Because currently each driver does its own thing, it can be hard to 
write user space that reliably allocates on all drivers. That's why it's 
important that parameters are not just raw numbers, but have 
well-defined semantics. The raw bpp is meaningless; it's also important 
to know which formats are associated with each value. Otherwise, you 
might get a dumb buffer with a bpp of 15, but it will be displayed 
incorrectly. This patch series finally implements this and clearly 
documents the assumptions behind the interfaces. The assumptions 
themselves have always existed.

The color modes in drm_driver_color_mode_format() are set in stone and 
will not change incompatibly. It's already a user interface. I've taken 
care that the results do not change incompatibly compared to what the 
dumb-buffer ioctl currently assumes. (C1-C4 are special, see below.)

True. 1, 2 and 4 would currently over-allocate significantly on some 
drivers and the series will reduce this to actual requirements. Yet our 
most common memory managers, gem-dma and gem-shmem, compute the sizes 
correctly.

But there are currently no drivers that support C4, C2 or C1 formats; 
hence there's likely no user space either. I know that Geert is 
interested in making a driver that uses these formats on very low-end 
hardware (something Atari or Amiga IIRC). Over-allocating on such 
hardware is likely not an option.

The other values (3, 5, 6, 7) have no meaning I know of. 6 could be 
XRGB2222, but I not aware of anything using that. We don't even have a 
format constant for this.

As I tried to explain, we currently have both versions in drivers: 
rounding up bpp and rounding up (bpp*width). User-space code already has 
to deal with both cases.

Note that the gud and ssd130x drivers do support R1, and I believe
work is underway to add grayscale formats to ssd130x.

Yeah, e.g. Amiga supports 3, 5, 6, and 7 bpp, but that is using
bitplanes.  There is already some sort of consensus to not expose
bitplanes to userspace in DRM, so limiting to 1, 2, 4, and 8 bpp
(which can be converted from C[1248]) is fine.

Nice find. Both use gem-shmem, which allocates without much overhead. So 
any possible userspace should already be prepared for this scenario.

There's been discussion about a new dumb-buffer ioctl that receives a 
format constant and returns individual buffers for each plane. This 
would allow for these use cases.

This is perhaps where the biggest gap in understanding/view is: I have 
always thought dumb-buffer's "bpp" to mean bits-per-pixel, where, for 
more complex formats, "pixel" is not necessarily a visible pixel but a 
container unit of some kind. So bpp * width = stride.

It would not occur to me to allocate XRGB1555 dumb-buffer with 15 bpp, 
but 16 bpp, as that's what a pixel takes. I have never seen the 
dumb-buffer bpp connected directly to the pixel format (that's what the 
ADDFB brings in).

I may be alone with that thinking, but afaics the documentation leans a 
bit on my interpretation (instead of considering bpp as a "color mode"), 
although admittedly the docs also don't really say much so this may be 
fully just my interpretation:

https://man.archlinux.org/man/drm-memory.7.en

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/libdrm/tree/include/drm/drm_mode.h#n1055

I (mostly) understand all the complexities around here, thanks to your 
replies, and I think I'm ok with the series as it doesn't break anything 
(need to test the v3, though).

I still don't like it though =). And I would be happier with the simpler 
"bpp" interpretation that I mentioned above, instead of it being a color 
mode. But we can't have it both ways, and perhaps it's better to unify 
the code and have the behavior explained explicitly as you do in this 
series, even if the explanation only covers some RGB formats.

Agreed, this could be read in the way you do. Is this being generated 
from source somehow? The information is not incorrect, but how did they 
get to this interpretation? It would definitely need an update with this 
patch series applied. Citing from the man page:

   "/bpp/ is the number of bits-per-pixel and must be a multiple of 8."

That's what currently works on all drivers. But nothing enforces that it 
"must by a multiple of 8". Doing so would prevent C1/C2/etc pixel 
formats without over-allocation.  OR bpp is not bits-per-pixel but just 
some factor that controls the buffer size. This is how you use it for 
YUV formats.

   "You most commonly want to pass 32 here."

That's also just semi-true. 32 is simply what mostly works in practice 
IFF you interpret it as XRGB8888. Userspace should read the formats from 
the primary plane, or at least look at the driver-provided 
preferred_depth field.

> https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/libdrm/tree/include/drm/drm_mode.h#n1055

This one doesn't say anything specific AFAICT. Bpp is somewhat pointless 
information without a known pixel and framebuffer layout, as I've 
outlined before.

No worries. The intention is not to break anything and existing code 
will continue to work.

We cannot let userspace trigger dmesg warnings (or anything else really
that spams logs). Also I think for future proofing it would be good if we
just reject anything we don't currently know about instead of silently
letting this mess become worse. Hence my vote is to reject unknown bpp
hack values.

This is a bit too cryptic to me, I think if you want to do comments I'd
just put a long-form one above each value that explains where we've found
it and why it happens. I'm also assuming these all have depth = 0, which I
guess is something we should check just to keep this as strict as
possible? Or do they have matching depth?

Correction from irc: Thomas pointed out that there's no depth in the
create_dumb ioctl, I was mixing this up with addfb and failed to check. So
please disregard this part, I was fabricating stuff out of some very thin
air (and probably not enough coffee in the brain too).

[PATCH v3 03/25] drm/gem-dma: Compute dumb-buffer sizes with drm_mode_size_dumb()

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Call drm_mode_size_dumb() to compute dumb-buffer scanline pitch and
buffer size. Align the pitch to a multiple of 8.

Push the current calculation into the only direct caller imx. Imx's
hardware requires the framebuffer width to be aligned to 8. The
driver's current approach is actually incorrect, as it only guarantees
this implicitly and requires bpp to be a multiple of 8 already. A
later commit will fix this problem by aligning the scanline pitch
such that an aligned width still fits into each scanline's memory.

A number of other drivers are build on top of gem-dma helpers and
implement their own dumb-buffer allocation. These drivers invoke
drm_gem_dma_dumb_create_internal(), which is not affected by this
commit.

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Call drm_mode_size_dumb() to compute dumb-buffer scanline pitch and
buffer size. Inline code from drm_gem_vram_fill_create_dumb() without
the existing size computation. Align the pitch to a multiple of 8.

Only hibmc and vboxvideo use gem-vram. Hibmc invokes the call to
drm_gem_vram_fill_create_dumb() directly and is therefore not affected.

armada_pitch() does have some special alignment (it aligns the pitch to
128 bytes). I've no idea what drm_mode_size_dumb() does. Can you check
whether it does the same please?

If it doesn't, then this patch is incorrect.

Indeed, I should have noticed. Will be fixed in the next iteration. 
Thanks for the review.

The hibmc driver's new hibmc_dumb_create() is similar to the one
in GEM VRAM helpers. The driver was the only caller of
drm_gem_vram_fill_create_dumb(). Remove the now unused helper.

[PATCH v3 10/25] drm/imx/ipuv3: Compute dumb-buffer sizes with drm_mode_size_dumb()

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Call drm_mode_size_dumb() to compute dumb-buffer scanline pitch and
buffer size. The hardware requires the framebuffer width to be a
multiple of 8. The scanline pitch has be large enough to support
this. Therefore compute the byte size of 8 pixels in the given color
mode and align the pitch accordingly.

buffer size according to hardware requirements.

Xe's internal calculation allowed for 64-bit wide buffer sizes, but
the ioctl's internal checks always verified against 32-bit wide limits.
Hance, it is safe to limit the driver code to 32-bit calculations as
well.

v3:
- mention 32-bit calculation in commit description (Matthew)
