[PATCH kernel v2 2/2] powerpc/mm/iommu: Put pages on process exit

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy
Date: Wed Jul 20 2016 - 00:34:57 EST


At the moment VFIO IOMMU SPAPR v2 driver pins all guest RAM pages when
the userspace starts using VFIO. When the userspace process finishes,
all the pinned pages need to be put; this is done as a part of
the userspace memory context (MM) destruction which happens on
the very last mmdrop().

This approach has a problem that a MM of the userspace process
may live longer than the userspace process itself as kernel threads
use userspace process MMs which was runnning on a CPU where
the kernel thread was scheduled to. If this happened, the MM remains
referenced until this exact kernel thread wakes up again
and releases the very last reference to the MM, on an idle system this
can take even hours.

This references and caches MM once per container and adds tracking
how many times each preregistered area was registered in
a specific container. This way we do not depend on @current pointing to
a valid task descriptor.

This changes the userspce interface to return EBUSY if memory is
already registered (mm_iommu_get() used to increment the counter);
however it should not have any practical effect as the only
userspace tool available now does register memory area once per
container anyway.

As tce_iommu_register_pages/tce_iommu_unregister_pages are called
under container->lock, this does not need additional locking.
