mm/hmm: remove the customizable pfn format from hmm_range_fault
Presumably the intent here was that hmm_range_fault() could put the data into some HW specific format and thus avoid some work. However, nothing actually does that, and it isn't clear how anything actually could do that as hmm_range_fault() provides CPU addresses which must be DMA mapped. Perhaps there is some special HW that does not need DMA mapping, but we don't have any examples of this, and the theoretical performance win of avoiding an extra scan over the pfns array doesn't seem worth the complexity. Plus pfns needs to be scanned anyhow to sort out any DEVICE_PRIVATE pages. This version replaces the uint64_t with an usigned long containing a pfn and fixed flags. On input flags is filled with the HMM_PFN_REQ_* values, on successful output it is filled with HMM_PFN_* values, describing the state of the pages. amdgpu is simple to convert, it doesn't use snapshot and doesn't use per-page flags. nouveau uses only 16 hmm_pte entries at most (ie fits in a few cache lines), and it sweeps over its pfns array a couple of times anyhow. It also has a nasty call chain before it reaches the dma map and hardware suggesting performance isn't important: nouveau_svm_fault(): args.i.m.method = NVIF_VMM_V0_PFNMAP nouveau_range_fault() nvif_object_ioctl() client->driver->ioctl() struct nvif_driver nvif_driver_nvkm: .ioctl = nvkm_client_ioctl nvkm_ioctl() nvkm_ioctl_path() nvkm_ioctl_v0[type].func(..) nvkm_ioctl_mthd() nvkm_object_mthd() struct nvkm_object_func nvkm_uvmm: .mthd = nvkm_uvmm_mthd nvkm_uvmm_mthd() nvkm_uvmm_mthd_pfnmap() nvkm_vmm_pfn_map() nvkm_vmm_ptes_get_map() func == gp100_vmm_pgt_pfn struct nvkm_vmm_desc_func gp100_vmm_desc_spt: .pfn = gp100_vmm_pgt_pfn nvkm_vmm_iter() REF_PTES == func == gp100_vmm_pgt_pfn() dma_map_page() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/5-v2-b4e84f444c7d+24f57-hmm_no_flags_jgg@mellanox.com Acked-by: Felix Kuehling <Felix.Kuehling@amd.com> Tested-by: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>
