[HMM 09/16] mm/hmm: heterogeneous memory management (HMM for short)

From: JÃrÃme Glisse
Date: Thu Mar 16 2017 - 11:14:09 EST


HMM provides 3 separate types of functionality:
- Mirroring: synchronize CPU page table and device page table
- Device memory: allocating struct page for device memory
- Migration: migrating regular memory to device memory

This patch introduces some common helpers and definitions to all of
those 3 functionality.

+ * HMM provides 3 separate types of functionality:
+ * - Mirroring: synchronize CPU page table and device page table
+ * - Device memory: allocating struct pages for device memory
+ * - Migration: migrating regular memory to device memory
+ *
+ * Each can be used independently from the others.
+ *
+ *
+ * Mirroring:
+ *
+ * HMM provides helpers to mirror a process address space on a device. For this,
+ * it provides several helpers to order device page table updates with respect
+ * to CPU page table updates. The requirement is that for any given virtual
+ * address the CPU and device page table cannot point to different physical
+ * pages. It uses the mmu_notifier API behind the scenes.
+ *
+ * Device memory:
+ *
+ * HMM provides helpers to help leverage device memory. Device memory is, at any
+ * given time, either CPU-addressable like regular memory, or completely
+ * unaddressable. In both cases the device memory is associated with dedicated
+ * struct pages (which are allocated as if for hotplugged memory). Device memory
+ * management is under the responsibility of the device driver. HMM only
+ * allocates and initializes the struct pages associated with the device memory,
+ * by hotplugging a ZONE_DEVICE memory range.
+ *
+ * Allocating struct pages for device memory allows us to use device memory
+ * almost like regular CPU memory. Unlike regular memory, however, it cannot be
+ * added to the lru, nor can any memory allocation can use device memory
+ * directly. Device memory will only end up in use by a process if the device
+ * driver migrates some of the process memory from regular memory to device
+ * memory.
+ *
+ * Migration:
+ *
+ * The existing memory migration mechanism (mm/migrate.c) does not allow using
+ * anything other than the CPU to copy from source to destination memory.
+ * Moreover, existing code does not provide a way to migrate based on a virtual
+ * address range. Existing code only supports struct-page-based migration. Also,
+ * the migration flow does not allow for graceful failure at intermediate stages
+ * of the migration process.
+ *
+ * HMM solves all of the above, by providing a simple API:
+ *
+ * hmm_vma_migrate(ops, vma, src_pfns, dst_pfns, start, end, private);
+ *
+ * finalize_and_map(). The first, alloc_and_copy(), allocates the destination
+ * memory and initializes it using source memory. Migration can fail at this
+ * point, and the device driver then has a place to abort the migration. The
+ * finalize_and_map() callback allows the device driver to know which pages
+ * were successfully migrated and which were not.
+ *
+ * This can easily be used outside of the original HMM use case.
+ *
+ *
+ * This header file contain all the APIs related to hmm_vma_migrate. Additional
+ * detailed documentation may be found below.
