Re: [RFC 4/7] soc: qcom: Add Shared Memory Manager driver
From: Jeffrey Hugo
Date: Wed Oct 08 2014 - 17:33:16 EST
Here in my initial detailed pass. I still have some "issues" that I
want to clarify on my end, but I think I have plenty of comments to
start with.

The Shared Memory Manager driver implements an interface for allocating
and accessing items in the memory area shared among all of the
processors in a Qualcomm platform.

In later platforms this is extended to support "secure smem", I do
unfortunately not have any devices that I could test this with so I have only
implemented the "insecure" version for now.
I was thinking about implementing an of_xlate as this would make sense for many
things. It is however not feasible for SMD, that would require us to list 257
items.
It would make sense to enhance this with a method of keeping track of currently
consumed items, both to take care of "mutual exclusion" between consumers as
well as knowing when it's safe to remove the device and/or unload the driver.
By "mutual exclusion" I assume you mean that two different entities are
using the same smem id. Such a usecase is outside the purview of this
driver, and is essentially unsupported. Any such usecases would need to
be handled by the client. In short, smem items support one direct client.
I'm not sure it makes sense to unload the driver. I understand this is
a qcom specific driver, but it is critical to our devices. Any
situation I can think of in which this driver would be unloaded, would
ultimately result in a reboot of the device.
I did consider exposing the items as regmaps, but for many of the items the
regmap context is consuming far more space then the actual data. And we would
end up creating 3-400 regmap contexts in a normal system.
Also note that the hwspinlock framework does not yet support devicetree based
retrieval of spinlock handles, so that part needs to be changed.

I see there appears to be a very small ammount of precidence (one other
file), but it seems pointlessly redundant to prefix "qcom_" to the file
when it exists in a "qcom" directory. What is the other point of view
that I am missing?

I see that you inlined the smem_heap_info struct. That is slightly
problematic since we have some uses of that structure, and without it,

Why? I understand what this does in a technical sense, but I don't
understand the reasoning behind it. This forces every entity that is a
client of smem to have some kind of existance in DT, when for a lot of
them, they won't have a need or justification to be in DT other than to
have a phandle to smem.
Smem is a special memory allocator. I don't recall seeing a DT hook for
kmalloc/dma_alloc_coherent/alloc_skb/etc so I'm not seeing why we have
one here.
All this does is get the clients the qcom_smem handle so that they can
pass it back to smem for alloc and get, but there doesn't seem to be a
need for it. The handle is a singleton which this driver already has a
reference to, so giving it out to the clients and having them hand it
back seems Rube Goldberg-esq. It also gives the clients the ability to
screw with the handle, which I would prefer they never even touch since
they have no business doing. You don't even sanity check the handle
when it gets passed in. What happens when a client screws up and passes
in NULL or a random pointer?
The only positive thing about this that I see is it centralizes
EPROBE_DEFER, but only for well behaved clients. It doesn't appear that
it would be too difficult to have that functionality in the simplified
API you've presented.
