[PATCH] dma-buf: Delete the DMA-BUF attachment sysfs statistics

Sat Jul 10 05:10:24 UTC 2021


The DMA-BUF attachment statistics form a subset of the DMA-BUF
sysfs statistics that recently merged to the drm-misc tree.
Since there has been a reported a performance regression due to the
overhead of sysfs directory creation/teardown during
dma_buf_attach()/dma_buf_detach(), this patch deletes the DMA-BUF
attachment statistics from sysfs.

Fixes: bdb8d06dfefd (dmabuf: Add the capability to expose DMA-BUF stats
in sysfs)

Hello all,

One of our partners recently reported a perf regression in a driver
which was being caused due to the overhead of setup/teardown of the
sysfs attachment statistics in the dma_buf_attach()/dma_buf_detach()
invocations. Since the driver's latency requirements were of the order
of microseconds(~100us), the overhead was significant.
Since this indicates that the solution might not work well for
all DMA-BUF importers, I think the right thing to do might be to delete
the same before it reaches upstream and becomes ABI :( I apologize for
the inconvenience.

This patch is based on the drm-misc-next branch. Please feel free to
let me know if you would prefer that I send a full revert and new patch that
adds the rest of the statistics.

Regards,
Hridya
