PATCH 2/3 iommu/tegra: smmu: Remove unnecessary sanity check at alloc_pdir()

alloc_pdir() is called with smmu->as[?].pdir_page == NULL. No need to check pdir_page again inside alloc_pdir().

PATCH 3/3 iommu/tegra: smmu: Fix unsleepable memory allocation at alloc_pdir()

In reply to a message not in the archive

alloc_pdir() is called from smmu_iommu_domain_init() with spin_lock held. memory allocations in alloc_pdir() had to be atomic. Instead of converting into atomic allocation, this patch once releases a lock, does the allocation, holds the lock again and then sees if it's raced or not in order to avoid introducing mutex and preallocation.

Applied patch 2 and 3 but not patch 1. The resulting conflicts are solved while merging the next branch. Also I am not happy with the way the as->lock is taken and released multiple times in patch 3. So I added another commit on-top. Please have a look at it as I can only compile-test that change:

Subject: [PATCH] iommu/tegra: Don't call alloc_pdir with as->lock

Instead of taking as->lock before calling alloc_pdir() and releasing it in that function to allocate memory, just take the lock only in the alloc_pdir function and run the loop without any lock held. This simplifies the complicated lock->unlock->alloc->lock->unlock sequence into alloc->lock->unlock.

The above spin_lock is always necessary. "as->lock" should be held to protect "as->pdir_page". Only when "as->pdir_page" is NULL, "as->pdir_page" would be allocated in "alloc_pdir()". Without this lock, the following race could happen:

Without as->lock:
A: B:
i == 3
pdir_page == NULL

			i == 3
	     		pdir_page == NULL
pdir_page = a;
			pdir_page = b;	!!!!!! OVERWRITTEN !!!!!!

With as->lock:
A: B:
i == 3
lock(as->lock)
pdir_page == NULL
i == 3
Waiting lock released....
Waiting lock released....
pdir_page = a;
unlock(as->lock)

			lock(as->lock)
			pdir_page != NULL && continue
			unlock(as->lock)

			i == 4
			.....

This "lock, unlock, alloc, lock, check race" method was originally introduced by Russell King a few years ago(*1). And the same mechanism has been used in omap iommu for years(*2) at least as below:

drivers/iommu/omap-iommu.c:
.....
505 * do the allocation outside the page table lock
506 */

507         spin_unlock(&obj->page_table_lock);
508         iopte = kmem_cache_zalloc(iopte_cachep, GFP_KERNEL);
509         spin_lock(&obj->page_table_lock);

510
511 if (!*iopgd) {
512 if (!iopte)
513 return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
514
515 *iopgd = virt_to_phys(iopte) | IOPGD_TABLE;
516 flush_iopgd_range(iopgd, iopgd);
517
518 dev_vdbg(obj->dev, "%s: a new pte:%p\n", __func__, iopte);
519 } else {
520 /* We raced, free the reduniovant table */
521 iopte_free(iopte);
522 }

Still we can do preallocation for pdir_page before this lock held, but if we do that, we have to change the function name, "alloc_pdir()" to something else because it doesn't allocate actually, and some other allocations also have to be done in advance too. At this moment, I'd rather keep the current structure with Russell's method.

Unless I am missing something, this is not the correct situation with my patch. It would look more like this:

A: B:
i == 3
pdir_page == NULL
i == 3 pdir_page == NULL

take as->lock

/* race check */
pdir_page == NULL -> proceed /* spinning on as->lock */

pdir_page = a;

release as->lock

					 take as->lock

					 /* race check */
					 pdir_page != NULL -> return

This should be fine, no? Do I miss something?

You are right. I didn't get the point of your patch. In the case that you can return -EAGAIN, the complicated "lock,unlock,lock,check race" is not necessary as you did.

Verified the patch w/ Tegra3 based board. Please put this into next queue. Thanks.
