如何在Linux中分配大的连续内存区域

问题描述 投票:1回答:1

是的,我最终将在DMA中使用它,但是暂时不考虑一致性。我有64位BAR寄存器,因此AFAIK的所有RAM(例如高于4G)都可用于DMA。

我正在寻找大约64MB的连续RAM。是的,很多。

Ubuntu 16和18具有CONFIG_CMA = y,但是在内核编译时未设置CONFIG_DMA_CMA。

[我注意到,如果同时设置了两者(在内核构建时),我可以简单地调用dma_alloc_coherent,但是由于后勤原因,不希望重新编译内核。

这些机器将始终至少具有32GB的RAM,不运行任何需要占用大量RAM的内存,并且在RAM变得明显碎片之前,内核模块将在启动后不久加载,并且AFAIK,其他都没有使用CMA。

我已经设置了内核参数CMA = 1G。 (并尝试过256M和512M)

# dmesg | grep cma
[    0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.170 root=UUID=2b25933c-e10c-4833-b5b2-92e9d3a33fec ro cma=1G

我尝试过alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM,顺序),不高兴。

最后是实际问题:如何从CMA获得大的连续块?我在网上找到的所有内容都建议使用dma_alloc_coherent,但我知道这仅适用于CONFIG_CMA = y和CONFIG_DMA_CMA = yes。

模块源,tim.c

#include <linux/module.h>       /* Needed by all modules */
#include <linux/kernel.h>       /* Needed for KERN_INFO */
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/mm.h>
#include <linux/gfp.h>
unsigned long big;
const int order = 15;
static int __init tim_init(void)
{
        printk(KERN_INFO "Hello Tim!\n");
        big = __get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM, order);
        printk(KERN_NOTICE "big = %lx\n", big);
        if (!big)
                return -EIO; // AT&T

        return 0; // success
}

static void __exit tim_exit(void)
{
        free_pages(big, order);
        printk(KERN_INFO "Tim says, Goodbye world\n");
}

module_init(tim_init);
module_exit(tim_exit);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

插入模块会产生...

奇怪的是,再次尝试会产生...

# insmod tim.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module tim.ko: Input/output error
...and dmesg just shows:

为什么没有堆栈转储第二(和后续)尝试?

linux-kernel allocation dma contiguous

简称为__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM是必需的,因为最终会调用dma_clloc_contiguous,并通过gfpflags_allow_blocking检查是否可以阻塞。

void *vaddr = dma_alloc_coherent(&pdev->dev, 0x8000000, handle, __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM);
