gpu: nvgpu: Unify the small and large page address spaces
The basic structure of this patch is to make the small page allocator
and the large page allocator into pointers (where they used to be just
structs). Then assign each of those pointers to the same actual
allocator since the buddy allocator has supported mixed page sizes
since its inception.
For the rest of the driver some changes had to be made in order to
actually support mixed pages in a single address space.
1. Unifying the allocation page size determination
Since the allocation and map operations happen at distinct
times both mapping and allocation of GVA space must agree
on page size. This is because the allocation has to separate
allocations into separate PDEs to avoid the necessity of
supporting mixed PDEs.
To this end a function __get_pte_size() was introduced which
is used both by the balloc code and the core GPU MM code. It
determines page size based only on the length of the mapping/
allocation.
2. Fixed address allocation + page size
Similar to regular mappings/GVA allocations fixed address
mapping page size determination had to be modified. In the
past the address of the mapping determined page size since
the address space split was by address (low addresses were
small pages, high addresses large pages). Since that is no
longer the case the page size field in the reserve memory
ioctl is now honored by the mapping code. When, for instance,
CUDA makes a memory reservation it specifies small or large
pages. When CUDA requests mappings to be made within that
address range the page size is then looked up in the reserved
memory struct.
Fixed address reservations were also modified to now always
allocate at a PDE granularity (64M or 128M depending on
large page size. This prevents non-fixed allocations from
ending up in the same PDE and causing kernel panics or GMMU
faults.
3. The rest...
The rest of the changes are just by products of the above.
Lots of places required minor updates to use a pointer to
the GVA allocator struct instead of the struct itself.
Lastly, this change is not truly complete. More work remains to be
done in order to fully remove the notion that there was such a thing
as separate address spaces for different page sizes. Basically after
this patch what remains is cleanup and proper documentation.
