While the per file case still looks acceptable this is a clear NAK since it will massively increase the memory needed for a prime exported object.

I think that this is quite overkill in the first place and for the hot unplug case we can just use the global dummy page as well.

Christian.


Global dummy page is good for read access, what do you do on write access ? My first approach was indeed to map at first global dummy page as read only and mark the vma->vm_flags as !VM_SHARED assuming that this would trigger Copy On Write flow in core mm (https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.7-rc7/source/mm/memory.c#L3977) on the next page fault to same address triggered by a write access but then i realized a new COW page will be allocated for each such mapping and this is much more wasteful then having a dedicated page per GEM object.

Yeah, but this is only for a very very small corner cases. What we need to prevent is increasing the memory usage during normal operation to much.

Using memory during the unplug is completely unproblematic because we just released quite a bunch of it by releasing all those system memory buffers.

And I'm pretty sure that COWed pages are correctly accounted towards the used memory of a process.

So I think if that approach works as intended and the COW pages are released again on unmapping it would be the perfect solution to the problem.

Daniel what do you think?

Regards,
Christian.

We can indeed optimize by allocating this dummy page on the first page fault after device disconnect instead on GEM object creation.
