Defer it until resume.

Hi all,

Here's the small patch in response of suggestion to defer tlb operations
when smmu is in suspend state.
The patch stores the TLB requests in 'unmap' when the smmu device is
suspended. On resume, it checks all the pending TLB requests, and
performs the unmap over those.

Right now, I have applied the patch on top of the pm runtime series.
Let me know what you think of the change. It will also be helpful if
somebody can please test a valid use case with this.
The patch itself doesn't make much sense to me, but more crucially it's
definitely broken in concept. We can't return from arm_smmu_unmap()
without having actually unmapped anything, because that leaves the page
tables out of sync with what the caller expects - they may immmediately
reuse that IOVA to map something else for a different device and hit an
unexpected failure from io-pgtable when the PTE turns out to be non-empty.

To understand things bit more,
once we don't *unmap* in arm_smmu_unmap(), and leave the TLBs as is,
the next mapping can happen only with the *knowledge* of smmu, i.e.,
smmu should be active at that time.
If that's true then, the _runtime()_resume() method will take care of
invalidating the TLBs when we call arm_smmu_unmap() from _runtime_resume().
Is my understanding correct here?


However, if in general suspend *might* power-gate any part of the SMMU,
then I don't think we have any guarantee of what state any TLBs could be
in upon resume. Therefore any individual invalidations we skip while
suspended are probably moot, since resume would almost certainly have to
invalidate everything to get back to a safe state anyway.

Right, in case when the suspend power-gates the SMMU, then
the TLB context is lost anyways. So resume path can freshly start.
This is something that exynos does at present.


Conversely though, the situation that still concerns me is whether this
can work at all for a distributed SMMU if things *don't* lose state. Say
the GPU and its local TBU are in the same clock domain - if the GPU has
just gone idle and we've clock-gated it, but "the SMMU" (i.e. the TCU)
is still active servicing other devices, we will assume we can happily
unmap GPU buffers and issue TLBIs, but what happens with entries held in
the unclocked TBU's micro-TLB?

We know of platforms we have that have shared TCU and multiple TBUs.
Each TBU is available in its own power domain, not in master's power domain.
In such cases we may want to runtime_get() the TBUs, so that unmap() call with
master clock gated gets through.

Can we have a situation where the TBU and master are in the same power
domain, and the unmap is called when the master is not runtime active?
How will such a situation be handled?

Best regards
Vivek


Robin.
