[PATCH v4 0/3] Enable P2PDMA in Userspace RDMA

[Martin Oliveira]

This version of this patch series fixes the unhandled WARN issue from
v3. Everything else remains the same. Thanks to everyone who provided
reviews and feedback!

Martin

Original cover letter:

This patch series enables P2PDMA memory to be used in userspace RDMA
transfers. With this series, P2PDMA memory mmaped into userspace (ie.
only NVMe CMBs, at the moment) can then be used with ibv_reg_mr() (or
similar) interfaces. This can be tested by passing a sysfs p2pmem
allocator to the --mmap flag of the perftest tools.

This requires addressing two issues:

* Stop exporting kernfs VMAs with page_mkwrite, which is incompatible
with FOLL_LONGTERM and is redudant since the default fault code has the
same behavior as kernfs_vma_page_mkwrite() (i.e., call
file_update_time()).

* Remove the restriction on FOLL_LONGTREM with FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA which was
initially put in place due to excessive caution with assuming P2PDMA
would have similar problems to fsdax with unmap_mapping_range(). Seeing
P2PDMA only uses unmap_mapping_range() on device unbind and immediately
waits for all page reference counts to go to zero after calling it, it
is actually believed to be safe from reuse and user access faults. See
[1] for more discussion.

This was tested using a Mellanox ConnectX-6 SmartNIC (MT28908 Family),
using the mlx5_core driver, as well as an NVMe CMB.

Thanks,
Martin

Changes in v4:
  - Actually handle the WARN if someone sets ->page_mkwrite

Changes in v3:
  - Change to WARN_ON() if an implementaion of kernfs sets
    .page_mkwrite() (Suggested by Christoph)
  - Removed fast-gup patch

Changes in v2:
  - Remove page_mkwrite() for all kernfs, instead of creating a
    different vm_ops for p2pdma.

[PATCH v4 1/3] kernfs: remove page_mkwrite() from vm_operations_struct

[Martin Oliveira]

The .page_mkwrite operator of kernfs just calls file_update_time().
This is the same behaviour that the fault code does if .page_mkwrite is
not set.

Furthermore, having the page_mkwrite() operator causes
writable_file_mapping_allowed() to fail due to
vma_needs_dirty_tracking() on the gup flow, which is a pre-requisite for
enabling P2PDMA over RDMA.

There are no users of .page_mkwrite and no known valid use cases, so
just remove the .page_mkwrite from kernfs_ops and WARN if an mmap()
implementation sets .page_mkwrite.

[PATCH v4 2/3] mm/gup: allow FOLL_LONGTERM & FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA

[Martin Oliveira]

This check existed originally due to concerns that P2PDMA needed to copy
fsdax until pgmap refcounts were fixed (see [1]).

The P2PDMA infrastructure will only call unmap_mapping_range() when the
underlying device is unbound, and immediately after unmapping it waits
for the reference of all ZONE_DEVICE pages to be released before
continuing. This does not allow for a page to be reused and no user
access fault is therefore possible. It does not have the same problem as
fsdax.

The one minor concern with FOLL_LONGTERM pins is they will block device
unbind until userspace releases them all.

[PATCH v4 3/3] RDMA/umem: add support for P2P RDMA

[Martin Oliveira]

If the device supports P2PDMA, add the FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA flag

This allows ibv_reg_mr() and friends to use P2PDMA memory that has been
mmaped into userspace for MRs in IB and RDMA transactions.

This is stupid.  Warn for both or neither.
