mm: add support for kmem caches in DMA32 zone
Patch series "iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s: Use DMA32 zone for page tables", v6. This is a followup to the discussion in [1], [2]. IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables (level 1 and 2) to be allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit systems. For L1 tables that are bigger than a page, we can just use __get_free_pages with GFP_DMA32 (on arm64 systems only, arm would still use GFP_DMA). For L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate a full page, so we considered 3 approaches: 1. This series, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches. 2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2 page tables (4096, so 4MB of memory). 3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable to reuse freed fragments until the whole page is freed. [3] This series is the most memory-efficient approach. stable@ note: We confirmed that this is a regression, and IOMMU errors happen on 4.19 and linux-next/master on MT8173 (elm, Acer Chromebook R13). The issue most likely starts from commit ad67f5a6545f ("arm64: replace ZONE_DMA with ZONE_DMA32"), i.e. 4.15, and presumably breaks a number of Mediatek platforms (and maybe others?). [1] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-November/030876.html [2] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-December/031696.html [3] https://patchwork.codeaurora.org/patch/671639/ This patch (of 3): IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables to be allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit systems. On arm64, this is done by passing GFP_DMA32 flag to memory allocation functions. For IOMMU L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate a full page using get_free_pages, so we considered 3 approaches: 1. This patch, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches. 2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2 page tables (4096, so 4MB of memory). 3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable to reuse freed fragments until the whole page is freed. This change makes it possible to create a custom cache in DMA32 zone using kmem_cache_create, then allocate memory using kmem_cache_alloc. We do not create a DMA32 kmalloc cache array, as there are currently no users of kmalloc(..., GFP_DMA32). These calls will continue to trigger a warning, as we keep GFP_DMA32 in GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK. This implies that calls to kmem_cache_*alloc on a SLAB_CACHE_DMA32 kmem_cache must _not_ use GFP_DMA32 (it is anyway redundant and unnecessary).
