__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

If a DMA pool lies at the very top of the dma_addr_t range (as may

Currently a call to dma_pool_alloc() with a ___GFP_ZERO flag returns a
non-zeroed memory region.
This patchset adds support for the __GFP_ZERO flag to dma_pool_alloc(),
adds 2 wrapper functions for allocing zeroed memory from a pool, and
provides a coccinelle script for finding & replacing instances of
dma_pool_alloc() followed by memset(0) with a single dma_pool_zalloc()
call.
There was some concern that this always calls memset() to zero, instead
of passing __GFP_ZERO into the page allocator.
[https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/15/881]
I ran a test on my system to get an idea of how often dma_pool_alloc()
calls into pool_alloc_page().
After Boot: [ 30.119863] alloc_calls:541, page_allocs:7
After an hour: [ 3600.951031] alloc_calls:9566, page_allocs:12
After copying 1GB file onto a USB drive:
[ 4260.657148] alloc_calls:17225, page_allocs:12
It doesn't look like dma_pool_alloc() calls down to the page allocator
very often (at least on my system).
This patch (of 4):
Currently the __GFP_ZERO flag is ignored by dma_pool_alloc().
Make dma_pool_alloc() zero the memory if this flag is set.

dma_pool_destroy() does not tolerate a NULL dma_pool pointer argument and
performs a NULL-pointer dereference. This requires additional attention
and effort from developers/reviewers and forces all dma_pool_destroy()
callers to do a NULL check
if (pool)
dma_pool_destroy(pool);
Or, otherwise, be invalid dma_pool_destroy() users.
Tweak dma_pool_destroy() and NULL-check the pointer there.

The problem is the lock order of pools_lock and kernfs_mutex in
dma_pool_destroy() vs show_pools() call path.
This patch breaks out the creation of the sysfs file outside of the
pools_lock mutex. The newly added pools_reg_lock ensures that there is no
race of create vs destroy code path in terms whether or not the sysfs file
has to be deleted (and was it deleted before we try to create a new one)
and what to do if device_create_file() failed.

"dev" cannot be NULL because it is already checked before calling
dma_pool_create().
If dev ever was NULL, the code would oops in dev_to_node() after enabling
CONFIG_NUMA.
It is possible that some driver is using dev==NULL and has never been run
on a NUMA machine. Such a driver is probably outdated, possibly buggy and
will need some attention if it starts triggering NULL derefs.

dmapool always calls dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC flag,
regardless the flags provided by the caller. This causes excessive
pruning of emergency memory pools without any good reason. Additionaly,
on ARM architecture any driver which is using dmapools will sooner or
later trigger the following error:
"ERROR: 256 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is too small!
Please increase it with coherent_pool= kernel parameter!".
Increasing the coherent pool size usually doesn't help much and only
delays such error, because all GFP_ATOMIC DMA allocations are always
served from the special, very limited memory pool.
This patch changes the dmapool code to correctly use gfp flags provided
by the dmapool caller.

dma_pool_free() scans for the page to free in the pool list holding the
pool lock. Then it releases the lock basically to acquire it immediately
again. Modify the code to only take the lock once.

if memory debugging is activated. If it is not activated the only new

The previous implementation simply refused to allocate more than a
boundary's worth of data from an entire page. Some users didn't know
this, so specified things like SMP_CACHE_BYTES, not realising the
horrible waste of memory that this was. It's fairly easy to correct
this problem, just by ensuring we don't cross a boundary within a page.
This even helps drivers like EHCI (which can't cross a 4k boundary)
on machines with larger page sizes.
