Currently, the available buffer allocation size for a PCM stream
depends on the preallocated size; when a buffer has been preallocated,
the max buffer size is set to that size, so that application won't
re-allocate too much memory. OTOH, when no preallocation is done,
each substream may allocate arbitrary size of buffers as long as
snd_pcm_hardware.buffer_bytes_max allows -- which can be quite high,
HD-audio sets 1GB there.
It means that the system may consume a high amount of pages for PCM
buffers, and they are pinned and never swapped out. This can lead to
OOM easily.
For avoiding such a situation, this patch adds the upper limit per
card. Each snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages() and _free_pages() calls are
tracked and it will return an error if the total amount of buffers
goes over the defined upper limit. The default value is set to 32MB,
which should be really large enough for usual operations.
If larger buffers are needed for any specific usage, it can be
adjusted (also dynamically) via snd_pcm.max_alloc_per_card option.
Setting zero there means no chceck is performed, and again, unlimited
amount of buffers are allowed.

This patch adds the support for the feature to automatically allocate
and free PCM buffers, so called "managed buffer allocation" mode.
It's set up via new PCM helpers, snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer() and
snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer_all(), both of which correspond to the
existing preallocator helpers, snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages() and
snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages_for_all(). When the new helper is used,
it not only performs the pre-allocation of buffers, but also it
manages to call snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages() before the PCM hw_params
ops and snd_lib_pcm_free() after the PCM hw_free ops inside PCM core,
respectively. This allows drivers to drop the explicit calls of the
memory allocation / release functions, and it will be a good amount of
code reduction in the end of this patch series.
When the PCM substream is set to the managed buffer allocation mode,
the managed_buffer_alloc flag is set in the substream object. Since
some drivers want to know when a buffer is newly allocated or
re-allocated at hw_params callback (e.g. want to set up the additional
stuff for the given buffer only at allocation time), now PCM core
turns on buffer_changed flag when the buffer has changed.
The standard conversions to use the new API will be straightforward:
- Replace snd_pcm_lib_preallocate*() calls with the corresponding
snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer*(); the arguments should be unchanged
- Drop superfluous snd_pcm_lib_malloc() and snd_pcm_lib_free() calls;
the check of snd_pcm_lib_malloc() returns should be replaced with
the check of runtime->buffer_changed flag.
- If hw_params or hw_free becomes empty, drop them from PCM ops

Nowadays we have CMA for obtaining the contiguous memory pages
efficiently. Let's kill the old kludge for reserving the memory pages
for large buffers. It was rarely useful (only for preserving pages
among module reloading or a little help by an early boot scripting),
used only by a couple of drivers, and yet it gives too much ugliness

These aren't modules, but they do make use of these macros, so
they will need export.h to get that definition. Previously,
they got it via the implicit module.h inclusion.
Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Using SG-buffers with dma_alloc_coherent() is often very inefficient
on non-coherent architectures because a tracking record could be
allocated in addition for each dma_alloc_coherent() call.
Instead, simply disable SG-buffers but just allocate normal continuous

Most hardwares have limited buffer-descriptor table length. This
also restricts the max buffer size of the sound driver.
For example, snd-hda-intel has 1MB buffer size limit, and this is
because it can have at most 256 BDL entries. For supporting larger
buffers, we need to allocate larger pages even for sg-buffers.
This patch changes the sgbuf allocation code to try to allocate
larger pages first. At each head of the allocated pages, the
number of allocated pages is stored in the lowest bits of the
corresponding entry of the table addr field. This change isn't
visible as long as the driver uses snd_sgbuf_get_addr() helper.
Also, the patch adds a new function, snd_pcm_sgbuf_get_chunk_size().
This returns the size of the chunk on continuous pages starting at
the given position offset. If the chunk reaches to a non-continuous
page, it returns the size to the boundary.
