drm/etnaviv: Print error message if inserting IOVA address range fails

[PATCH] drm/etnaviv: Print error message if inserting IOVA address range fails

Posted by Sui Jingfeng 1 month, 4 weeks ago

Etnaviv assumes that GPU page size is 4KiB, yet on some systems, the CPU
page size is 16 KiB. The size of etnaviv buffer objects will be aligned
to CPU page size on kernel side, however, userspace still assumes the
page size is 4KiB and doing allocation with 4KiB page as unit. This
results in softpin(userspace managed per-process address spaces) fails.
Because kernel side BO takes up bigger address space than user space
assumes whenever the size of a BO is not CPU page size aligned.

Insert an error message to help debug when such an issue happen.

Seems we need to track the GPU and CPU allocation sizes separately.
Userspace is correct in assuming that the GPU page size is 4K and
buffers are aligned to this granule. There should be no need to waste
GPU VA space just because the CPU page size is larger than that and we
need to overallocate buffers to suit the CPU.

As this might happen for a lot of buffers in a single submit and
userspace might be unimpressed by the submit failure and keep pushing
new submits, this has a potential to spam the logs. Please use
dev_err_ratelimited. Other than that, this patch looks good.

The idea is cool and fancy, I have been tried.

By adding a 'user_size' member into the struct etnaviv_gem_object,
and use this 'user_size'; to track the actual size that user-space
thing of. (or in other words, the actual size that potential user
allow to use)

Using 'user_size' is pin, this partly solve VA address space collision
under softpin fashion. This is partly works under my hasty test. But ...

Vivante GPU support 4KB and 64KB GPU page size.

We have nearly 4GBGPU VA space, As far as I can see it, we only use a few. So, is it true 
that we are wealthy about the VA space?

A single CPU page share the same caching property, therefore, I image that
asingle VA address  range at least should occupy entire room of a single CPU
page.

Otherwise, it possible that 4 GPUVA share a single CPU page.
if each GPUVA  mapped with a different caching property from others.
This get coherency requirements involved.

64k is very impractical, as it can't really be mixed freely with 4k
page size. If we ever going to support this, then it will be exposed
via a userspace queryable param, so userspace will know when we need
bigger alignment.

Those GPUs are used within systems that support more physical memory
than that. Especially the machines that are using larger page sizes on
the CPU are likely to support more physical memory than 4GB. I don't
see a reason why we should waste GPU VA space when we can avoid it.

It's true that workloads you would run on a GC1000 are unlikely to use
more than a fraction of the GPU VA space, but I can easily see more
capable GPU cores with compute capabilities running up against the GPU
VA space limit.

That won't happen. We still allocate the whole 16k page for a BO, so no
other BO with different caching flags can share the same CPU page. We
just don't map the whole page to the GPU side.
