2022-08-24ALSA: memalloc: Drop special handling of GFP for CONTINUOUS allocationTakashi Iwai1-3/+0
Now that all users of snd_dma_continuous_data() is gone, let's drop this ugly (and dangerous) way. After this commit, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS may take the standard device pointer instead of the hacked pointer by the macro above, and the memalloc core refers to the coherent_dma_mask of the given device like other SNDRV_DMA_TYPE. It's still allowed to pass NULL there, and in that case, the allocation is performed always in the normal zone. For SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_VMALLOC, the device pointer is simply ignored.

2022-04-13ALSA: memalloc: Add fallback SG-buffer allocations for x86Takashi Iwai1-0/+5
The recent change for memory allocator replaced the SG-buffer handling helper for x86 with the standard non-contiguous page handler. This works for most cases, but there is a corner case I obviously overlooked, namely, the fallback of non-contiguous handler without IOMMU. When the system runs without IOMMU, the core handler tries to use the continuous pages with a single SGL entry. It works nicely for most cases, but when the system memory gets fragmented, the large allocation may fail frequently. Ideally the non-contig handler could deal with the proper SG pages, it's cumbersome to extend for now. As a workaround, here we add new types for (minimalistic) SG allocations, instead, so that the allocator falls back to those types automatically when the allocation with the standard API failed. BTW, one better (but pretty minor) improvement from the previous SG-buffer code is that this provides the proper mmap support without the PCM's page fault handling.

2021-11-16ALSA: memalloc: Unify x86 SG-buffer handling (take#3)Takashi Iwai1-7/+7
This is a second attempt to unify the x86-specific SG-buffer handling code with the new standard non-contiguous page handler. The first try (in commit 2d9ea39917a4) failed due to the wrong page and address calculations, hence reverted. (And the second try failed due to a copy&paste error.) Now it's corrected with the previous fix for noncontig pages, and the proper sg page iteration by this patch. After the migration, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DMA_SG becomes identical with SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_NONCONTIG on x86, while others still fall back to SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV.

2021-10-18ALSA: memalloc: Convert x86 SG-buffer handling with non-contiguous typeTakashi Iwai1-7/+7
We've had an x86-specific SG-buffer handling code, but now it can be merged gracefully with the standard non-contiguous DMA pages. After the migration, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DMA_SG becomes identical with SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_NONCONTIG on x86, while others still fall back to SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV. The remaining problem is about the SG-buffer with WC pages: the DMA core stuff on x86 doesn't treat it well, so we still need some special handling to manipulate the page attribute manually. The mmap handler for SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_SG_WC still returns -ENOENT intentionally for the fallback to the default handler.

2021-10-18ALSA: memalloc: Support for non-coherent page allocationTakashi Iwai1-0/+1
Following to the addition of non-contiguous pages, this patch adds the new contiguous non-coherent page allocation to the standard memalloc helper. Like the previous non-contig type, this non-coherent type is also directional and requires the explicit sync, too. Hence the driver using this type of buffer may need to set SNDRV_PCM_INFO_EXPLICIT_SYNC flag to the PCM hardware.info as well, unless it's set up in the managed mode.

2021-10-18ALSA: memalloc: Support for non-contiguous page allocationTakashi Iwai1-4/+42
This patch adds the support for allocation of non-contiguous DMA pages in the common memalloc helper. It's another SG-buffer type, but unlike the existing one, this is directional and requires the explicit sync / invalidation of dirty pages on non-coherent architectures. For this enhancement, the following points are changed: - snd_dma_device stores the DMA direction. - snd_dma_device stores need_sync flag indicating whether the explicit sync is required or not. - A new variant of helper functions, snd_dma_alloc_dir_pages() and *_all() are introduced; the old snd_dma_alloc_pages() and *_all() kept as just wrappers with DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. - A new helper snd_dma_buffer_sync() is introduced; this gets called in the appropriate places. - A new allocation type, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_NONCONTIG, is introduced. When the driver allocates pages with this new type, and it may require the SNDRV_PCM_INFO_EXPLICIT_SYNC flag set to the PCM hardware.info for taking the full control of PCM applptr and hwptr changes (that implies disabling the mmap of control/status data). When the buffer allocation is managed by snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer(), this flag is automatically set depending on the result of dma_need_sync() internally. Otherwise, if the buffer is managed manually, the driver has to set the flag explicitly, too. The explicit sync between CPU and device for non-coherent memory is performed at the points before and after read/write transfer as well as the applptr/hwptr syncptr ioctl. In the case of mmap mode, user-space is supposed to call the syncptr ioctl with the hwptr flag to update and fetch the status at first; this corresponds to CPU-sync. Then user-space advances the applptr via syncptr ioctl again with applptr flag, and this corresponds to the device sync with flushing. Other than the DMA direction and the explicit sync, the usage of this new buffer type is almost equivalent with the existing SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_SG; you can get the page and the address via snd_sgbuf_get_page() and snd_sgbuf_get_addr(), also calculate the continuous pages via snd_sgbuf_get_chunk_size(). For those SG-page handling, the non-contig type shares the same ops with the vmalloc handler. As we do always vmap the SG pages at first, the actual address can be deduced from the vmapped address easily without iterating the SG-list.

2021-07-19ALSA: core: Add device-managed page allocator helperTakashi Iwai1-0/+4
This is a preparation for allowing devres usages more widely in various sound drivers. As a first step, this patch adds a new allocator function, snd_devm_alloc_pages(), to manage the allocated pages via devres, so that the pages will be automagically released as device unbinding. Unlike the old snd_dma_alloc_pages(), the new function returns directly the snd_dma_buffer pointer. The caller needs NULL-check for the allocation error appropriately. Also, since a real device pointer is mandatory for devres, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS or SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_VMALLOC type can't be used for this function.

Then we get separate the page allocation, release and other tasks for each type, especially for the SG buffer. Each buffer type has now callbacks in the struct snd_malloc_ops, and the common helper functions call those ops accordingly. The former inline code that is specific to SG-buffer is moved into the local sgbuf.c, and we can simplify the PCM code without details of memory handling.

2019-03-27ALSA: Replace snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() with standard helpers, take#2Takashi Iwai1-4/+0
snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() are merely thin wrappers of the standard page allocator / free functions. Even the arguments are compatible with some standard helpers, so there is little merit of keeping these wrappers. This patch replaces the all existing callers of snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() with the direct calls of the standard helper functions. In this version, we use a recently introduced one, alloc_pages_exact(), which suits better than the old snd_malloc_pages() implementation for our purposes. Then we can avoid the waste of pages by alignment to power-of-two. Since alloc_pages_exact() does split pages, we need no longer __GFP_COMP flag; or better to say, we must not pass __GFP_COMP to alloc_pages_exact(). So the former unconditional addition of __GFP_COMP flag in snd_malloc_pages() is dropped, as well as in most other places.

2018-08-28ALSA: memalloc: Add non-cached buffer typeTakashi Iwai1-0/+3
In some cases (mainly for x86), we need the DMA coherent buffer with non-cached pages. Although this has been done in each driver side like HD-audio and intel8x0, it can be done cleaner in the core memory allocator. This patch adds the new types, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_UC and SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_UC_SG, for allocating such non-cached buffer pages. On non-x86 architectures, they work as same as the standard SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV and *_SG. One additional change by this move is that we can assure to pass the non-cached pgprot to the vmapped buffer, too. It eventually fixes the case like non-snoop mode without mmap access on HD-audio.

2013-12-10ALSA: memalloc.h - fix wrong truncation of dma_addr_tStefano Panella1-1/+1
When running a 32bit kernel the hda_intel driver is still reporting a 64bit dma_mask if the HW supports it. From sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c: /* allow 64bit DMA address if supported by H/W */ if ((gcap & ICH6_GCAP_64OK) && !pci_set_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(64))) pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)); else { pci_set_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)); pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)); } which means when there is a call to dma_alloc_coherent from snd_malloc_dev_pages a machine address bigger than 32bit can be returned. This can be true in particular if running the 32bit kernel as a pv dom0 under the Xen Hypervisor or PAE on bare metal. The problem is that when calling setup_bdle to program the BLE the dma_addr_t returned from the dma_alloc_coherent is wrongly truncated from snd_sgbuf_get_addr if running a 32bit kernel: static inline dma_addr_t snd_sgbuf_get_addr(struct snd_dma_buffer *dmab, size_t offset) { struct snd_sg_buf *sgbuf = dmab->private_data; dma_addr_t addr = sgbuf->table[offset >> PAGE_SHIFT].addr; addr &= PAGE_MASK; return addr + offset % PAGE_SIZE; } where PAGE_MASK in a 32bit kernel is zeroing the upper 32bit af addr. Without this patch the HW will fetch the 32bit truncated address, which is not the one obtained from dma_alloc_coherent and will result to a non working audio but can corrupt host memory at a random location.

2008-08-25ALSA: Allocate larger pages in sgbufTakashi Iwai1-1/+3
Most hardwares have limited buffer-descriptor table length. This also restricts the max buffer size of the sound driver. For example, snd-hda-intel has 1MB buffer size limit, and this is because it can have at most 256 BDL entries. For supporting larger buffers, we need to allocate larger pages even for sg-buffers. This patch changes the sgbuf allocation code to try to allocate larger pages first. At each head of the allocated pages, the number of allocated pages is stored in the lowest bits of the corresponding entry of the table addr field. This change isn't visible as long as the driver uses snd_sgbuf_get_addr() helper. Also, the patch adds a new function, snd_pcm_sgbuf_get_chunk_size(). This returns the size of the chunk on continuous pages starting at the given position offset. If the chunk reaches to a non-continuous page, it returns the size to the boundary.

Let it rip!
