Do you have a pointer to a git branch with this series and all dependencies to ease testing?
Hi Christoph,
Yes, actually tomorrow we're planning to send a new version with detailed instructions
on how to setup and run each of the tests. This will also contain a link to download our
kernel repo with all these patches.
Regards,
Alejandro S.

v1: AMD is building a system architecture for the Frontier supercomputer with a coherent interconnect between CPUs and GPUs. This hardware architecture allows the CPUs to coherently access GPU device memory. We have hardware in our labs and we are working with our partner HPE on the BIOS, firmware and software for delivery to the DOE.
The system BIOS advertises the GPU device memory (aka VRAM) as SPM (special purpose memory) in the UEFI system address map. The amdgpu driver looks it up with lookup_resource and registers it with devmap as MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC using devm_memremap_pages.
Now we're trying to migrate data to and from that memory using the migrate_vma_* helpers so we can support page-based migration in our unified memory allocations, while also supporting CPU access to those pages.
This patch series makes a few changes to make MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC pages behave correctly in the migrate_vma_* helpers. We are looking for feedback about this approach. If we're close, what's needed to make our patches acceptable upstream? If we're not close, any suggestions how else to achieve what we are trying to do (i.e. page migration and coherent CPU access to VRAM)?
This work is based on HMM and our SVM memory manager that was recently upstreamed to Dave Airlie's drm-next branch https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcgit.freed... On top of that we did some rework of our VRAM management for migrations to remove some incorrect assumptions, allow partially successful migrations and GPU memory mappings that mix pages in VRAM and system memory. https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flore.kerne...
v2: This patch series version has merged "[RFC PATCH v3 0/2] mm: remove extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount" patch series made by Ralph Campbell. It also applies at the top of these series, our changes to support device generic type in migration_vma helpers. This has been tested in systems with device memory that has coherent access by CPU.
Also addresses the following feedback made in v1:
- Isolate in one patch kernel/resource.c modification, based
on Christoph's feedback.
- Add helpers check for generic and private type to avoid
duplicated long lines.
v3:
- Include cover letter from v1.
- Rename dax_layout_is_idle_page func to dax_page_unused in patch
ext4/xfs: add page refcount helper.
v4:
- Add support for zone device generic type in lib/test_hmm and
tool/testing/selftest/vm/hmm-tests.
- Add missing page refcount helper to fuse/dax.c. This was included in
one of Ralph Campbell's patches.
v5:
- Cosmetic changes on patches 3, 5 and 13
- Bug founded at test_hmm, remove devmem->pagemap.type = MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE
at dmirror_allocate_chunk that was forcing to configure pagemap.type to MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE.
- A bug was found while running one of the xfstest (generic/413) used to
validate fs_dax device type. This was first introduced by patch: "mm: remove extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount" whic is part of these patch series. The bug was showed as WARNING message at try_grab_page function call, due to a page refcounter equal to zero. Part of "mm: remove extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount" changes, was to initialize page refcounter to zero. Therefore, a special condition was added to try_grab_page on this v5, were it checks for device zone pages too. It is included in the same patch.
This is how mm changes from these patch series have been validated:
- hmm-tests were run using device private and device generic types. This last,
just added in these patch series. efi_fake_mem was used to mimic SPM memory for device generic.
- xfstests tool was used to validate fs-dax device type and page refcounter
changes. DAX configuration was used along with emulated Persisten Memory set as memmap=4G!4G memmap=4G!9G. xfstests were run from ext4 and generic lists. Some of them, did not run due to limitations in configuration. Ex. test not supporting specific file system or DAX mode. Only three tests failed, generic/356/357 and ext4/049. However, these failures were consistent before and after applying these patch series. xfstest configuration: TEST_DEV=/dev/pmem0 TEST_DIR=/mnt/ram0 SCRATCH_DEV=/dev/pmem1 SCRATCH_MNT=/mnt/ram1 TEST_FS_MOUNT_OPTS="-o dax" EXT_MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o dax" MKFS_OPTIONS="-b4096" xfstest passed list: Ext4: 001,003,005,021,022,023,025,026,030,031,032,036,037,038,042,043,044,271,306 Generic: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,29,30,31,32,33,35,37, 50,52,53,58,60,61,62,63,64,67,69,70,71,75,76,78,79,80,82,84,86,87,88,91,92,94, 96,97,98,99,103,105,112,113,114,117,120,124,126,129,130,131,135,141,169,184, 198,207,210,211,212,213,214,215,221,223,225,228,236,237,240,244,245,246,247, 248,249,255,257,258,263,277,286,294,306,307,308,309,313,315,316,318,319,337, 346,360,361,371,375,377,379,380,383,384,385,386,389,391,392,393,394,400,401, 403,404,406,409,410,411,412,413,417,420,422,423,424,425,426,427,428
Patches 1-2 Rebased Ralph Campbell's ZONE_DEVICE page refcounting patches.
Patches 4-5 are for context to show how we are looking up the SPM memory and registering it with devmap.
Patches 3,6-8 are the changes we are trying to upstream or rework to make them acceptable upstream.
Patches 9-13 add ZONE_DEVICE Generic type support into the hmm test.
