[PATCH v6] drm: Use USB controller's DMA mask when importing dmabufs

Thomas Zimmermann tzimmermann at suse.de
Mon Mar 1 09:31:27 UTC 2021


USB devices cannot perform DMA and hence have no dma_mask set in their
device structure. Therefore importing dmabuf into a USB-based driver
fails, which breaks joining and mirroring of display in X11.

For USB devices, pick the associated USB controller as attachment device.
This allows the DRM import helpers to perform the DMA setup. If the DMA
controller does not support DMA transfers, we're out of luck and cannot
import. Our current USB-based DRM drivers don't use DMA, so the actual
DMA device is not important.

Drivers should use DRM_GEM_SHMEM_DROVER_OPS_USB to initialize their
instance of struct drm_driver.

Tested by joining/mirroring displays of udl and radeon un der Gnome/X11.

v6:
	* implement workaround in DRM drivers and hold reference to
	  DMA device while USB device is in use
	* remove dev_is_usb() (Greg)
	* collapse USB helper into usb_intf_get_dma_device() (Alan)
	* integrate Daniel's TODO statement (Daniel)
	* fix typos (Greg)
v5:
	* provide a helper for USB interfaces (Alan)
	* add FIXME item to documentation and TODO list (Daniel)
v4:
	* implement workaround with USB helper functions (Greg)
	* use struct usb_device->bus->sysdev as DMA device (Takashi)
v3:
	* drop gem_create_object
	* use DMA mask of USB controller, if any (Daniel, Christian, Noralf)
v2:
	* move fix to importer side (Christian, Daniel)
	* update SHMEM and CMA helpers for new PRIME callbacks

+Remove automatic page mapping from dma-buf importing
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+When importing dma-bufs, the dma-buf and PRIME frameworks automatically map
+imported pages into the importer's DMA area. drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle() and
+drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd() require that importers call dma_buf_attach()
+even if they never do actual device DMA, but only CPU access through
+dma_buf_vmap(). This is a problem for USB devices, which do not support DMA
+operations.
+
+To fix the issue, automatic page mappings should be removed from the
+buffer-sharing code. Fixing this is a bit more involved, since the import/export
+cache is also tied to &drm_gem_object.import_attach. Meanwhile we paper over
+this problem for USB devices by fishing out the USB host controller device, as
+long as that supports DMA. Otherwise importing can still needlessly fail.
