types: reuse common phys_vec type instead of DMABUF open‑coded variant

2026-01-19T17:13:29+00:00

After commit fcf463b92a08 ("types: move phys_vec definition to common header"), we can use the shared phys_vec type instead of the DMABUF‑specific dma_buf_phys_vec, which duplicated the same structure and semantics.

dma-buf: Remove DMA-BUF sysfs stats

2026-01-19T13:40:01+00:00

Commit bdb8d06dfefd ("dmabuf: Add the capability to expose DMA-BUF stats in sysfs") added dmabuf statistics to sysfs in 2021 under CONFIG_DMABUF_SYSFS_STATS. After being used in production, performance problems were discovered leading to its deprecation in 2022 in commit e0a9f1fe206a ("dma-buf: deprecate DMABUF_SYSFS_STATS"). Some of the problems with this interface were discussed in my LPC 2025 talk. [1][2] Android was probably the last user of the interface, which has since been migrated to use the dmabuf BPF iterator [3] to obtain the same information more cheaply. As promised in that series, now that the longterm stable 6.18 kernel has been released let's remove the sysfs dmabuf statistics from the kernel.

dma-buf: provide phys_vec to scatter-gather mapping routine

2025-11-20T19:02:19+00:00

Add dma_buf_phys_vec_to_sgt() and dma_buf_free_sgt() helpers to convert an array of MMIO physical address ranges into scatter-gather tables with proper DMA mapping. These common functions are a starting point and support any PCI drivers creating mappings from their BAR's MMIO addresses. VFIO is one case, as shortly will be RDMA. We can review existing DRM drivers to refactor them separately. We hope this will evolve into routines to help common DRM that include mixed CPU and MMIO mappings. Compared to the dma_map_resource() abuse this implementation handles the complicated PCI P2P scenarios properly, especially when an IOMMU is enabled: - Direct bus address mapping without IOVA allocation for PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_BUS_ADDR, using pci_p2pdma_bus_addr_map(). This happens if the IOMMU is enabled but the PCIe switch ACS flags allow transactions to avoid the host bridge. Further, this handles the slightly obscure, case of MMIO with a phys_addr_t that is different from the physical BAR programming (bus offset). The phys_addr_t is converted to a dma_addr_t and accommodates this effect. This enables certain real systems to work, especially on ARM platforms. - Mapping through host bridge with IOVA allocation and DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute for MMIO memory regions (PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_THRU_HOST_BRIDGE). This happens when the IOMMU is enabled and the ACS flags are forcing all traffic to the IOMMU - ie for virtualization systems. - Cases where P2P is not supported through the host bridge/CPU. The P2P subsystem is the proper place to detect this and block it. Helper functions fill_sg_entry() and calc_sg_nents() handle the scatter-gather table construction, splitting large regions into UINT_MAX-sized chunks to fit within sg->length field limits. Since the physical address based DMA API forbids use of the CPU list of the scatterlist this will produce a mangled scatterlist that has a fully zero-length and NULL'd CPU list. The list is 0 length, all the struct page pointers are NULL and zero sized. This is stronger and more robust than the existing mangle_sg_table() technique. It is a future project to migrate DMABUF as a subsystem away from using scatterlist for this data structure.

bpf: Add dmabuf iterator

2025-05-27T16:51:25+00:00

The dmabuf iterator traverses the list of all DMA buffers. DMA buffers are refcounted through their associated struct file. A reference is taken on each buffer as the list is iterated to ensure each buffer persists for the duration of the bpf program execution without holding the list mutex. Signed-off-by: T.J.

dma-buf: Do not build debugfs related code when !CONFIG_DEBUG_FS

2024-04-15T16:56:32+00:00

There is no point in compiling in the list and mutex operations which are only used from the dma-buf debugfs code, if debugfs is not compiled in. Put the code in questions behind some kconfig guards and so save some text and maybe even a pointer per object at runtime when not enabled.
