ALSA: memalloc: Workaround for Xen PV

2023-01-27T08:16:24+00:00

We change recently the memalloc helper to use dma_alloc_noncontiguous() and the fallback to get_pages(). Although lots of issues with IOMMU (or non-IOMMU) have been addressed, but there seems still a regression on Xen PV. Interestingly, the only proper way to work is use dma_alloc_coherent(). The use of dma_alloc_coherent() for SG buffer was dropped as it's problematic on IOMMU systems. OTOH, Xen PV has a different way, and it's fine to use the dma_alloc_coherent(). This patch is a workaround for Xen PV. It consists of the following changes: - For Xen PV, use only the fallback allocation without dma_alloc_noncontiguous() - In the fallback allocation, use dma_alloc_coherent(); the DMA address from dma_alloc_coherent() is returned in get_addr ops - The DMA addresses are stored in an array; the first entry stores the number of allocated pages in lower bits, which are referred at releasing pages again Reported-by: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Tested-by: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Fixes: a8d302a0b770 ("ALSA: memalloc: Revive x86-specific WC page allocations again") Fixes: 9736a325137b ("ALSA: memalloc: Don't fall back for SG-buffer with IOMMU") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/87tu256lqs.wl-tiwai@suse.de Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230125153104.5527-1-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: memalloc: don't use GFP_COMP for non-coherent dma allocations

2022-12-21T07:45:17+00:00

While not quite as bogus as for the dma-coherent allocations that were fixed earlier, GFP_COMP for these allocations has no benefits for the dma-direct case, and can't be supported at all by dma dma-iommu backend which splits up allocations into smaller orders. Due to an oversight in ffcb75458460 that flag stopped being cleared for all dma allocations, but only got rejected for coherent ones. Start fixing this by not requesting __GFP_COMP in the sound code, which is the only place that did this.

ALSA: memalloc: don't pass bogus GFP_ flags to dma_alloc_*

2022-11-21T08:36:19+00:00

dma_alloc_coherent/dma_alloc_wc is an opaque allocator that only uses the GFP_ flags for allocation context control. Don't pass __GFP_COMP which makes no sense for an allocation that can't in any way be converted to a page pointer. Note that for dma_alloc_noncoherent and dma_alloc_noncontigous in combination with the DMA mmap helpers __GFP_COMP looks sketchy as well, so I would suggest to drop that as well after a careful audit.

ALSA: memalloc: Allocate more contiguous pages for fallback case

2022-11-16T11:54:40+00:00

Currently the fallback SG allocation tries to allocate each single page, and this tends to result in the reverse order of memory addresses when large space is available at boot, as the kernel takes a free page from the top to the bottom in the zone. The end result looks as if non-contiguous (although it actually is). What's worse is that it leads to an overflow of BDL entries for HD-audio. For avoiding such a problem, this patch modifies the allocation code slightly; now it tries to allocate the larger contiguous chunks as much as possible, then reduces to the smaller chunks only if the allocation failed -- a similar strategy as the existing snd_dma_alloc_pages_fallback() function. Along with the trick, drop the unused address array from snd_dma_sg_fallback object. It was needed in the past when dma_alloc_coherent() was used, but with the standard page allocator, it became superfluous and never referred.

ALSA: memalloc: Try dma_alloc_noncontiguous() at first

2022-11-12T08:48:51+00:00

The latest fix for the non-contiguous memalloc helper changed the allocation method for a non-IOMMU system to use only the fallback allocator. This should have worked, but it caused a problem sometimes when too many non-contiguous pages are allocated that can't be treated by HD-audio controller. As a quirk workaround, go back to the original strategy: use dma_alloc_noncontiguous() at first, and apply the fallback only when it fails, but only for non-IOMMU case. We'll need a better fix in the fallback code as well, but this workaround should paper over most cases.

ALSA: memalloc: Don't fall back for SG-buffer with IOMMU

2022-11-10T13:23:03+00:00

When the non-contiguous page allocation for SG buffer allocation fails, the memalloc helper tries to fall back to the old page allocation methods. This would, however, result in the bogus page addresses when IOMMU is enabled. Usually in such a case, the fallback allocation should fail as well, but occasionally it succeeds and hitting a bad access. The fallback was thought for non-IOMMU case, and as the error from dma_alloc_noncontiguous() with IOMMU essentially implies a fatal memory allocation error, we should return the error straightforwardly without fallback. This avoids the corner case like the above. The patch also renames the local variable "dma_ops" with snd_ prefix for avoiding the name conflict.

ALSA: memalloc: use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL for DMA mem allocs

2022-09-26T06:23:37+00:00

Use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL instead of __GFP__NORETRY in snd_dma_dev_alloc(), snd_dma_wc_alloc() and friends, to allocate pages for device memory. The MAYFAIL flag retains the semantics of not triggering the OOM killer, but lowers the risk of alloc failure. MAYFAIL flag was added in commit dcda9b04713c3 ("mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic"). This change addresses recurring failures with SOF audio driver in test cases where a system suspend-resume stress test is run, combined with an active high memory-load use-case. The failure typically shows up as: [ 379.480229] sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: booting DSP firmware [ 379.484803] sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: error: memory alloc failed: -12 [ 379.484810] sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: error: dma prepare for ICCMAX stream failed Multiple fixes to reduce the memory usage of DSP boot have been identified in SOF driver, but even with those fixes, debug on affected systems has shown that even a single page alloc may fail with __GFP_NORETRY. When this occurs, system is under significant load on physical memory, but a lot of reclaimable pages are available, so the system has not run out of memory. With __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL, the errors are not hit in these stress tests. The alloc failure is severe as audio capability is completely lost if alloc failure is hit at system resume. An alternative solution was considered where the resources for DSP boot would be kept allocated until driver is unbound. This would avoid the allocation failure, but consume memory that is only needed temporarily at probe and resume time. It seems better to not hang on to the memory, but rather work a bit harder for allocating the pages at resume.
