[PATCH v4] dma-buf: add some tracepoints to debug.
Posted by Xiang Gao 3 days, 12 hours ago
From: gaoxiang17 <gaoxiang17@xiaomi.com>

I want to track the status of dmabuf in real time in the production environment.
But now we can only check it by traversing the fd in the process or dmabuf_list.

For example:
   binder:3031_4-18348   [005] ...1.   545.568275: dma_buf_export: exp_name=qcom,system name=(null) size=217088 ino=2750
   binder:3031_4-18348   [005] ...1.   545.568284: dma_buf_fd: exp_name=qcom,system name=(null) size=217088 ino=2750 fd=8
   binder:3031_4-18348   [005] ...1.   545.568399: dma_buf_mmap_internal: exp_name=qcom,system name=qcom,system size=28672 ino=2751
     kworker/5:1-130     [005] ...1.   545.570193: dma_buf_put: exp_name=qcom,system name=ab size=28672 ino=2751
    RenderThread-18891   [005] ...1.   545.602994: dma_buf_get: exp_name=qcom,system name=ab size=217088 ino=2750 fd=1087
    RenderThread-9409    [000] .n.1.   545.745004: dma_buf_dynamic_attach: exp_name=qcom,system name=ab size=217088 ino=2750 is_dynamic=0 dev_name=kgsl-3d0
    RenderThread-9409    [005] ...1.   545.747802: dma_buf_detach: exp_name=qcom,system name=bq size=12771328 ino=2764 is_dynamic=0 dev_name=kgsl-3d0

might be:

Since we can only inspect dmabuf by iterating over process FDs or the
dmabuf_list, we need to add our own tracepoints to track its status in
real time in production.

perhaps a macro similar to the one below

#define DMA_BUF_TRACE(FUNC, ...)                  \
    do {                                          \
        if (FUNC##_enabled()) {                   \
            guard(spinlock)(&dmabuf->name_lock); \
            FUNC(__VA_ARGS__);                    \
        }                                         \
    } while (0)


This would help us avoid duplicating a lot of code.

could be:
DMA_BUF_TRACE(trace_dma_buf_put, dmabuf);
DMA_BUF_TRACE(trace_dma_buf_attach, dmabuf, dev);

?

Thinking more about it I was wondering if we really need the userspace assigned name in the tracepoint in the first place.

The ino should be sufficient to uniquely identify each dma-buf, tracing the name should only be printed if it's changing or otherwise we spam the tracelog quite a bit with it.

BTW We don't have any identification for an attachment, so when multiple devices attach to the same DMA-buf the trace would be quite meaningless. We should probably fix that.

Christian.
