The handling here looks extremely awkward to me.

min_page_size should be determined outside of the loop, based on default_page_size, alignment and contiguous flag.

I kept min_page_size determine logic inside the loop for cases 2GiB+ requirements, Since now we are round up the size to the required alignment, I modified the min_page_size determine logic outside of the loop in v12. Please review.

Ah! So do we only have the loop so that each allocation isn't bigger than 2GiB? If yes couldn't we instead add a max_alloc_size or something similar?

yes we have the loop to limit the allocation not bigger than 2GiB, I think we cannot avoid the loop since we need to allocate the remaining pages if any, to complete the 2GiB+ size request. In other words, first iteration we limit the max size to 2GiB and in the second iteration we allocate the left over pages if any.

Hi Christian,

Here my understanding might be incorrect, should we limit the max size = 2GiB and skip all the remaining pages for a 2GiB+ request?

Thanks, Arun

BTW: I strongly suggest that you rename min_page_size to min_alloc_size. Otherwise somebody could think that those numbers are in pages and not bytes.

modified in v12

Then why do you drop the lock and grab it again inside the loop? And what is "i" actually good for?

modified the lock/unlock placement in v12.

"i" is to track when there is 2GiB+ contiguous allocation request, first we allocate 2GiB (due to SG table limit) continuously and the remaining pages in the next iteration, hence this request can't be a continuous. To set the placement flag we make use of "i" value. In our case "i" value becomes 2 and we don't set the below flag. node->base.placement |= TTM_PL_FLAG_CONTIGUOUS;

If we don't get such requests, I will remove "i".

I'm not sure if that works.

As far as I can see drm_buddy_alloc_blocks() can allocate multiple blocks at the same time, but i is only incremented when we loop.

So what you should do instead is to check if node->blocks just contain exactly one element after the allocation but before the trim.

ok

Well that looks really odd, why is trimming not part of drm_buddy_alloc_blocks() ?

we didn't place trim function part of drm_buddy_alloc_blocks since we thought this function can be a generic one and it can be used by any other application as well. For example, now we are using it for trimming the last block in case of size non-alignment with min_page_size.

Good argument. Another thing I just realized is that we probably want to double check if we only allocated one block before the trim.

ok
