[PATCH v3 00/20] Userspace P2PDMA with O_DIRECT NVMe devices

[Logan Gunthorpe]

Hi,

This patchset continues my work to add userspace P2PDMA access using
O_DIRECT NVMe devices. My last posting[1] just included the first 13
patches in this series, but the early P2PDMA cleanup and map_sg error
changes from that series have been merged into v5.15-rc1. To address
concerns that that series did not add any new functionality, I've added
back the userspcae functionality from the original RFC[2] (but improved
based on the original feedback).

The patchset enables userspace P2PDMA by allowing userspace to mmap()
allocated chunks of the CMB. The resulting VMA can be passed only
to O_DIRECT IO on NVMe backed files or block devices. A flag is added
to GUP() in Patch 14, then Patches 15 through 17 wire this flag up based
on whether the block queue indicates P2PDMA support. Patches 18
through 20 enable the CMB to be mapped into userspace by mmaping
the nvme char device.

This is relatively straightforward, however the one significant
problem is that, presently, pci_p2pdma_map_sg() requires a homogeneous
SGL with all P2PDMA pages or all regular pages. Enhancing GUP to
support enforcing this rule would require a huge hack that I don't
expect would be all that pallatable. So the first 13 patches add
support for P2PDMA pages to dma_map_sg[table]() to the dma-direct
and dma-iommu implementations. Thus systems without an IOMMU plus
Intel and AMD IOMMUs are supported. (Other IOMMU implementations would
then be unsupported, notably ARM and PowerPC but support would be added
when they convert to dma-iommu).

dma_map_sgtable() is preferred when dealing with P2PDMA memory as it
will return -EREMOTEIO when the DMA device cannot map specific P2PDMA
pages based on the existing rules in calc_map_type_and_dist().

The other issue is dma_unmap_sg() needs a flag to determine whether a
given dma_addr_t was mapped regularly or as a PCI bus address. To allow
this, a third flag is added to the page_link field in struct
scatterlist. This effectively means support for P2PDMA will now depend
on CONFIG_64BIT.

Feedback welcome.

This series is based on v5.15-rc1. A git branch is available here:
