320Direct Userspace Access/mmap Support
321------------------------------------
322
323Being able to mmap an export dma-buf buffer object has 2 main use-cases:
324- CPU fallback processing in a pipeline and
325- supporting existing mmap interfaces in importers.
326
3271. CPU fallback processing in a pipeline
328
329 In many processing pipelines it is sometimes required that the cpu can access
330 the data in a dma-buf (e.g. for thumbnail creation, snapshots, ...). To avoid
331 the need to handle this specially in userspace frameworks for buffer sharing
332 it's ideal if the dma_buf fd itself can be used to access the backing storage
333 from userspace using mmap.
334
335 Furthermore Android's ION framework already supports this (and is otherwise
336 rather similar to dma-buf from a userspace consumer side with using fds as
337 handles, too). So it's beneficial to support this in a similar fashion on
338 dma-buf to have a good transition path for existing Android userspace.
339
340 No special interfaces, userspace simply calls mmap on the dma-buf fd.
341
3422. Supporting existing mmap interfaces in exporters
343
344 Similar to the motivation for kernel cpu access it is again important that
345 the userspace code of a given importing subsystem can use the same interfaces
346 with a imported dma-buf buffer object as with a native buffer object. This is
347 especially important for drm where the userspace part of contemporary OpenGL,
348 X, and other drivers is huge, and reworking them to use a different way to
349 mmap a buffer rather invasive.
350
351 The assumption in the current dma-buf interfaces is that redirecting the
352 initial mmap is all that's needed. A survey of some of the existing
353 subsystems shows that no driver seems to do any nefarious thing like syncing
354 up with outstanding asynchronous processing on the device or allocating
355 special resources at fault time. So hopefully this is good enough, since
356 adding interfaces to intercept pagefaults and allow pte shootdowns would
357 increase the complexity quite a bit.
358
359 Interface:
360 int dma_buf_mmap(struct dma_buf *, struct vm_area_struct *,
361 unsigned long);
362
363 If the importing subsystem simply provides a special-purpose mmap call to set
364 up a mapping in userspace, calling do_mmap with dma_buf->file will equally
365 achieve that for a dma-buf object.
366
3673. Implementation notes for exporters
368
369 Because dma-buf buffers have invariant size over their lifetime, the dma-buf
370 core checks whether a vma is too large and rejects such mappings. The
371 exporter hence does not need to duplicate this check.
372
373 Because existing importing subsystems might presume coherent mappings for
374 userspace, the exporter needs to set up a coherent mapping. If that's not
375 possible, it needs to fake coherency by manually shooting down ptes when
376 leaving the cpu domain and flushing caches at fault time. Note that all the
377 dma_buf files share the same anon inode, hence the exporter needs to replace
378 the dma_buf file stored in vma->vm_file with it's own if pte shootdown is
379 requred. This is because the kernel uses the underlying inode's address_space
380 for vma tracking (and hence pte tracking at shootdown time with
381 unmap_mapping_range).
382
383 If the above shootdown dance turns out to be too expensive in certain
384 scenarios, we can extend dma-buf with a more explicit cache tracking scheme
385 for userspace mappings. But the current assumption is that using mmap is
386 always a slower path, so some inefficiencies should be acceptable.
387
388 Exporters that shoot down mappings (for any reasons) shall not do any
389 synchronization at fault time with outstanding device operations.
390 Synchronization is an orthogonal issue to sharing the backing storage of a
391 buffer and hence should not be handled by dma-buf itself. This is explictly
392 mentioned here because many people seem to want something like this, but if
393 different exporters handle this differently, buffer sharing can fail in
394 interesting ways depending upong the exporter (if userspace starts depending
395 upon this implicit synchronization).

338 419
420- If an exporter needs to manually flush caches and hence needs to fake
421 coherency for mmap support, it needs to be able to zap all the ptes pointing
422 at the backing storage. Now linux mm needs a struct address_space associated
423 with the struct file stored in vma->vm_file to do that with the function
424 unmap_mapping_range. But the dma_buf framework only backs every dma_buf fd
425 with the anon_file struct file, i.e. all dma_bufs share the same file.
426
427 Hence exporters need to setup their own file (and address_space) association
428 by setting vma->vm_file and adjusting vma->vm_pgoff in the dma_buf mmap
429 callback. In the specific case of a gem driver the exporter could use the
430 shmem file already provided by gem (and set vm_pgoff = 0). Exporters can then
431 zap ptes by unmapping the corresponding range of the struct address_space
432 associated with their own file.
