Hi,

Current memblock API is quite extensive and, which is more annoying,
duplicated. Except the low-level functions that allow searching for a free
memory region and marking it as reserved, memblock provides three (well,
two and a half) sets of functions to allocate memory. There are several
overlapping functions that return a physical address and there are
functions that return virtual address. Those that return the virtual
address may also clear the allocated memory. And, on top of all that, some
allocators panic and some return NULL in case of error.

This set tries to reduce the mess, and trim down the amount of memblock
allocation methods.

Patches 1-10 consolidate the functions that return physical address of
the allocated memory

Patches 11-13 are some trivial cleanups

Patches 14-19 add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*() and
panics in case of errors. The patches 14-18 include some minor refactoring
to have better readability of the resulting code and patch 19 is a
mechanical addition of

	if (!ptr)
		panic();

after memblock_alloc*() calls.

And, finally, patches 20 and 21 remove panic() calls memblock and _nopanic
variants from memblock.

v2 changes:
* replace some more %lu with %zu
* remove panics where they are not needed in s390 and in printk
* collect Acked-by and Reviewed-by.


Christophe Leroy (1):
  powerpc: use memblock functions returning virtual address

Mike Rapoport (20):
  openrisc: prefer memblock APIs returning virtual address
  memblock: replace memblock_alloc_base(ANYWHERE) with memblock_phys_alloc
  memblock: drop memblock_alloc_base_nid()
  memblock: emphasize that memblock_alloc_range() returns a physical address
  memblock: memblock_phys_alloc_try_nid(): don't panic
  memblock: memblock_phys_alloc(): don't panic
  memblock: drop __memblock_alloc_base()
  memblock: drop memblock_alloc_base()
  memblock: refactor internal allocation functions
  memblock: make memblock_find_in_range_node() and choose_memblock_flags() static
  arch: use memblock_alloc() instead of memblock_alloc_from(size, align, 0)
  arch: don't memset(0) memory returned by memblock_alloc()
  ia64: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()
  sparc: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()
  mm/percpu: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()
  init/main: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()
  swiotlb: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()
  treewide: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()
  memblock: memblock_alloc_try_nid: don't panic
  memblock: drop memblock_alloc_*_nopanic() variants

memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() does not panic (help explicitly says: Does 
not zero allocated memory, does not panic if request cannot be satisfied.).

Stephen Rothwell reports a boot failure due to this change.

"Does not panic" does not mean it always succeeds.

I agree, but at least here you are changing the behaviour by making it 
panic explicitly. Are we sure there are not cases where the system could 
just continue functionning ? Maybe a WARN_ON() would be enough there ?

Looking more in details, it looks like everything is done to live with 
sparsemap_buf NULL, all functions using it check it so having it NULL 
shouldn't imply a panic I believe, see code below.

static void *sparsemap_buf __meminitdata;
static void *sparsemap_buf_end __meminitdata;

static void __init sparse_buffer_init(unsigned long size, int nid)
{
	WARN_ON(sparsemap_buf);	/* forgot to call sparse_buffer_fini()? */
	sparsemap_buf =
		memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw(size, PAGE_SIZE,
						__pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS),
						MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE, nid);
	sparsemap_buf_end = sparsemap_buf + size;
}

static void __init sparse_buffer_fini(void)
{
	unsigned long size = sparsemap_buf_end - sparsemap_buf;

	if (sparsemap_buf && size > 0)
		memblock_free_early(__pa(sparsemap_buf), size);
	sparsemap_buf = NULL;
}

void * __meminit sparse_buffer_alloc(unsigned long size)
{
	void *ptr = NULL;

	if (sparsemap_buf) {
		ptr = PTR_ALIGN(sparsemap_buf, size);
		if (ptr + size > sparsemap_buf_end)
			ptr = NULL;
		else
			sparsemap_buf = ptr + size;
	}
	return ptr;
}

You are right, I'm preparing the fix right now.

I know it's rather late, but this patch broke the Etnaviv 3D graphics
in my i.MX6Q.

When I try to use the 3D, it returns some errors and the dmesg log
shows some memory allocation errors too:

and the 3D gemos work without this.

I don't know enough about the i.MX6 nor the 3D accelerator to know how
to fix it.
I am hoping someone in the know might have some suggestions.

Can you identify the exact patch from the series that caused the
regression?

Can you please add "memblock=debug" to your kernel command line and send
kernel logs for both working and failing versions?

This looks similar to what was reported at:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111789

Does it help if you use the same suggestion and pass cma=256M in your
kernel command line?

I tried cma=256M and noticed the cma dump at the beginning didn't
change.  Do we need to setup a reserved-memory node like
imx6ul-ccimx6ulsom.dtsi did?

I don't think so.

Were you able to identify what was the exact commit that caused such regression?

I was able to narrow it down the 92d12f9544b7 ("memblock: refactor
internal allocation functions") that caused the regression with
Etnaviv.

I also noticed that if I create a reserved memory node as was done one
imx6ul-ccimx6ulsom.dtsi the 3D seems to work again, but without it, I
was getting errors regardless of the 'cma=256M' or not.
I don't have a problem using the reserved memory, but I guess I am not
sure what the amount should be.  I know for the video decoding 1080p,
I have historically used cma=128M, but with the 3D also needing some
memory allocation, is that enough or should I use 256M?

That appears to have fixed my issue.  I am not sure what the impact
is, but is this a safe option?

It's not really a fix, I just wanted to see how exactly 92d12f9544b7 ("memblock:
refactor internal allocation functions") broke your setup.

Can you share the dts you are using and the full kernel log?

I am attaching two logs.  I now the mailing lists will be unhappy, but
 don't want to try and spam a bunch of log through the mailing liast.
The two logs show the differences between the working and non-working
imx6q 3D accelerator when trying to run a simple glmark2-es2-drm demo.

The only change between them is the 2 line code change you suggested.

In both cases, I have cma=128M set in my bootargs.  Historically this
has been sufficient, but cma=256M has not made a difference.

Mike any suggestions on how to move forward?
I was hoping to get the fixes tested and pushed before 5.4 is released
if at all possible

I have a fix (below) that kinda restores the original behaviour, but I
still would like to double check to make sure it's not a band aid and I
haven't missed the actual root cause.

Can you please send me your device tree definition and the output of 

cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/memory

and 

cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] mm: memblock: do not enforce current limit for memblock_phys*
 family

Until commit 92d12f9544b7 ("memblock: refactor internal allocation
functions") the maximal address for memblock allocations was forced to
memblock.current_limit only for the allocation functions returning virtual
address. The changes introduced by that commit moved the limit enforcement
into the allocation core and as a result the allocation functions returning
physical address also started to limit allocations to
memblock.current_limit.

This caused breakage of etnaviv GPU driver:

[    3.682347] etnaviv etnaviv: bound 130000.gpu (ops gpu_ops)
[    3.688669] etnaviv etnaviv: bound 134000.gpu (ops gpu_ops)
[    3.695099] etnaviv etnaviv: bound 2204000.gpu (ops gpu_ops)
[    3.700800] etnaviv-gpu 130000.gpu: model: GC2000, revision: 5108
[    3.723013] etnaviv-gpu 130000.gpu: command buffer outside valid
memory window
[    3.731308] etnaviv-gpu 134000.gpu: model: GC320, revision: 5007
[    3.752437] etnaviv-gpu 134000.gpu: command buffer outside valid
memory window
[    3.760583] etnaviv-gpu 2204000.gpu: model: GC355, revision: 1215
[    3.766766] etnaviv-gpu 2204000.gpu: Ignoring GPU with VG and FE2.0

Restore the behaviour of memblock_phys* family so that these functions will
not enforce memblock.current_limit.

I'm still not convinced that the memblock refactoring didn't uncovered an
issue in etnaviv driver.

Why moving the CMA area from 0x80000000 to 0x30000000 makes it fail?

BTW, the code that complained about "command buffer outside valid memory
window" has been removed by the commit 17e4660ae3d7 ("drm/etnaviv:
implement per-process address spaces on MMUv2"). 

Could be that recent changes to MMU management of etnaviv resolve the
issue?

I think you have that the wrong way round.

The iMX6 does not have MMUv2 hardware, it has MMUv1.  With MMUv1
hardware requires command buffers within the first 2GiB of physical
RAM.

I've reported the problem previously but there was no resolution,
other than pointing the blame at CMA.

I'm relying on Adam's reports of working and non-working versions.
According to that etnaviv works when CMA area is at 0x80000000 and does not
work when it is at 0x30000000.

He also sent logs a few days ago [1], they also confirm that.

I've mentioned that patch because it removed the check for cmdbuf address
for MMUv1:

@@ -785,15 +768,7 @@ int etnaviv_gpu_init(struct etnaviv_gpu *gpu)
                                  PAGE_SIZE);

                dev_err(gpu->dev, "could not create command buffer\n");

I really don't know how etnaviv works, so I hoped that people who
understand it would help.

To clarify: Etnaviv needs to know where the CMA area is in order to
move a aperture window to cover the CMA area so the command buffers
allocated in contig memory can be mapped through this aperture. Now the
issue is that there is currently there is no good API for a driver to
know where the CMA area is located, so we are trying to infer this from
dma_get_required_mask. Unfortunately this can overshoot the real DRAM
area by a bit, so combined with the fixed 2GB size of the GPU aperture
this means we are no longer able to map the command buffers through the
required aperture if the CMA area moves too far down in the physical
memory.

It's really a bad interaction between etnaviv and CMA area placement,
due to insufficient APIs to communicate some crucial information. There
is nothing in the etnaviv driver or the hardware which requires the CMA
area to be at a certain place, we just need to know where it is located
exactly. So my try at fixing this [1] was by adding a API to get the
required information, but the first attempt was shot down and I hadn't
had time to follow up on this yet.

Lucas

I thought that the i.MX6q has the MMUv1 and GC2000 GPU while the
i.MX6qp has the MMUv2 and GC3000?  Meaning the i.MX6 has both MMUv1
and MMUv2 depending on which i.MX6 part we are talking about.

The report says iMX6Q with GC2000 - which is what I was referring to
here.  I'm not aware of what the later SoCs use, since I've never used
them.

Sorry, yes, you're right.  Still, I've reported this same regression
a while back, and it's never gone away.

From what I can see, removing that check is a completely insane thing
to do, and I note that these changes are _not_ described in the commit
message.  The problem was known about _before_ (June 22) the patch was
created (July 5).

Lucas, please can you explain why removing the above check, which is
well known to correctly trigger on various platforms to prevent
incorrect GPU behaviour, is safe?

Thanks.

It isn't. It's a pretty big oversight in this commit to remove this
check. It can't be done at the same spot in the code anymore, as we
don't have a mapping context at this time anymore, but it should have
moved into etnaviv_iommu_context_init(). I'll send a patch to fix this
up.

If you CC me, I will test it and report my findings.

Lucas, can you make the check use SZ_2G instead of 0x80000000 and add a
comment about 2G limitation of the aperture window?

The memblock refactoring went in in 5.1 which was May 5, and likely it
caused the regression.

Unless I'm missing something, before the memblock refactoring the CMA
reservation could use the entire physical memory because
memblock_phys_alloc() didn't enforce memblock.current_limit.

Since memblock default is to allocate from top, cma_declare_contiguous()
could grab the memory close to the end of DRAM and thus have physical
address close enough to the virtual address to fit in the 2G limit.

When I've made memblock_phys* limit the memblock allocations to
memblock.current_limit the CMA area moved too far away down and the gap
became larger than 2G.

It does not seem like dealing with this in etnaviv driver and DMA and CMA
APIs would happen fast and the "revert" of the memblock changes I've sent
earlier in this thread does fix the problem.

Andrew, would you like me to resend the patch in a separate e-mail?
