[PATCH v4 00/23] Userspace P2PDMA with O_DIRECT NVMe devices

[Logan Gunthorpe]

Hi,

This patchset continues my work to add userspace P2PDMA access using
O_DIRECT NVMe devices. This posting fixes a lot of issues that were
addresed in the last posting, which is here[1].

The patchset enables userspace P2PDMA by allowing userspace to mmap()
allocated chunks of the CMB. The resulting VMA can be passed only
to O_DIRECT IO on NVMe backed files or block devices. A flag is added
to GUP() in Patch <>, then Patches <> through <> wire this flag up based
on whether the block queue indicates P2PDMA support. Patches <>
through <> enable the CMB to be mapped into userspace by mmaping
the nvme char device.

This is relatively straightforward, however the one significant
problem is that, presently, pci_p2pdma_map_sg() requires a homogeneous
SGL with all P2PDMA pages or all regular pages. Enhancing GUP to
support enforcing this rule would require a huge hack that I don't
expect would be all that pallatable. So the first 13 patches add
support for P2PDMA pages to dma_map_sg[table]() to the dma-direct
and dma-iommu implementations. Thus systems without an IOMMU plus
Intel and AMD IOMMUs are supported. (Other IOMMU implementations would
then be unsupported, notably ARM and PowerPC but support would be added
when they convert to dma-iommu).

dma_map_sgtable() is preferred when dealing with P2PDMA memory as it
will return -EREMOTEIO when the DMA device cannot map specific P2PDMA
pages based on the existing rules in calc_map_type_and_dist().

The other issue is dma_unmap_sg() needs a flag to determine whether a
given dma_addr_t was mapped regularly or as a PCI bus address. To allow
this, a third flag is added to the page_link field in struct
scatterlist. This effectively means support for P2PDMA will now depend
on CONFIG_64BIT.

Feedback welcome.

This series is based on v5.16-rc1. A git branch is available here:

Changes since v3:
  - Add some comment and commit message cleanups I had missed for v3,
    also moved the prototypes for some of the p2pdma helpers to
    dma-map-ops.h (which I missed in v3 and was suggested in v2).
  - Add separate cleanup patch for scatterlist.h and change the macros
    to functions. (Suggested by Chaitanya and Jason, respectively)
  - Rename sg_dma_mark_pci_p2pdma() and sg_is_dma_pci_p2pdma() to
    sg_dma_mark_bus_address() and sg_is_dma_bus_address() which
    is a more generic name (As requested by Jason)
  - Fixes to some comments and commit messages as suggested by Bjorn
    and Jason.
  - Ensure swiotlb is not used with P2PDMA pages. (Per Jason)
  - The sgtable coversion in RDMA was split out and sent upstream
    separately, the new patch is only the removal. (Per Jason)
  - Moved the FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA check outside of get_dev_pagemap() as
    Jason suggested this will be removed in the near term.
  - Add two patches to ensure that zone device pages with different
    pgmaps are never merged in the block layer or
    sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages() (Per Jason)
  - Ensure synchronize_rcu() or call_rcu() is used before returning
    pages to the genalloc. (Jason pointed out that pages are not
    gauranteed to be unused in all architectures until at least
    after an RCU grace period, and that synchronize_rcu() was likely
    too slow to use in the vma close operation.
  - Collected Acks and Reviews by Bjorn, Jason and Max.
