This implementation is losely based on the MSM shrinker, and it's
relying on the drm_gpuvm eviction/validation infrastructure.
Right now we only support swapout/eviction, but we could add an extra
flag to specify when buffer content doesn't need to be preserved to
avoid the swapout/swapin dance.
Locking is a bit of a nightmare, but using _trylock() all the way in
the reclaim path seems to make lockdep happy. And yes, we might be
missing opportunities to reclaim when the system is under heavy GPU
load/heavy memory pressure/heavy GPU VM activity, but that's better
than no reclaim at all.
v2:
- Move gpu_mapped_shared next to the mmapped LRU
- Add a bunch of missing is_[vm_bo,vma]_evicted() tests
- Only test mmap_count to check if a BO is mmaped
- Remove stale comment about shrinker not being a thing
- Allow pin_count to be non-zero in panthor_gem_swapin_locked()
- Fix panthor_gem_sync() to check for BO residency before doing the CPU sync
- Fix the value returned by panthor_gem_shrinker_count() in case some
memory has been released
- Check drmm_mutex_init() ret code
- Explicitly mention that PANTHOR_GEM_UNRECLAIMABLE is the initial state
of all BOs
v3:
- Make panthor_gem_try_evict() static
- Collect {A,R}-bs
v4:
- Update the reclaim_state in panthor_gem_mmap()
- Don't reclaim GPU-mapped BOs if can_block() returns false
- Skip evicited vm_bos in panthor_vm_update_bo_reclaim_lru_locked() to
avoid spurious WARN_ON()s
- Explain why we have to do this
select_evicted_vma/repopulate_evicted_vma dance
v5:
- Properly report the reclaimable size in panthor_gem_debugfs_print_bos()
- Check panthor_vm_lock_region() errors in
panthor_vm_evict_bo_mappings_locked()
- Fix lock order inversion (dma_resv_wait_timeout() inside gpuva.lock)
v6:
- Don't remap if the unmapped VMA is evicted.
- Drop a stale comment in panthor_gem_dev_map_get_sgt_locked()
- s/PANTHOR_GEM_GPU_MAPPED_PRIVATE/PANTHOR_GEM_GPU_MAPPED_SINGLE_VM/
- s/PANTHOR_GEM_GPU_MAPPED_SHARED/PANTHOR_GEM_GPU_MAPPED_MULTI_VM/
- Just count the number of vm_bo to determine the reclaim state in
is_gpu_mapped()
- Drop a redundant panthor_gem_backing_get_pages_locked() call in
panthor_gem_swapin_locked()
- Add more comments to panthor_vm_evict_bo_mappings_locked() to
convince Claude it's actually safe.
- Add a comment in panthor_gem_shrinker_count() to mention the race
and hopefully clear Claude's concerns.
- Rework the "is-still-in-list" check we have in
panthor_mmu_reclaim_priv_bos() to address Claude's concerns
- Don't call panthor_vm_unlock_region() if panthor_vm_lock_region()
fails in remap_evicted_vma(). Was harmless, but confusing, as
pointed out by Claude
- Fix can_block() to allow blocking on KSWAPD_RECLAIM-only in a kswapd
context
- Fix a lockdep warning when the last ref on a BO is released in the
shrinker path, where the resv lock can't be acquired other than with
a try_lock()
v7:
- Skip drm_gpuvm_bo_deferred_cleanup() when repopulating VMAs to fix a
deadlock
