BACKPORT: FROMLIST: dmabuf: Add the capability to expose DMA-BUF stats in sysfs
This patch allows statistics to be enabled for each DMA-BUF in sysfs by enabling the config CONFIG_DMABUF_SYSFS_STATS. The following stats will be exposed by the interface: /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers/<inode_number>/exporter_name /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers/<inode_number>/size /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers/<inode_number>/attachments/<attach_uid>/device /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers/<inode_number>/attachments/<attach_uid>/map_counter The inode_number is unique for each DMA-BUF and was added earlier [1] in order to allow userspace to track DMA-BUF usage across different processes. Currently, this information is exposed in /sys/kernel/debug/dma_buf/bufinfo. However, since debugfs is considered unsafe to be mounted in production, it is being duplicated in sysfs. This information will be used to derive DMA-BUF per-exporter stats and per-device usage stats for Android Bug reports. The corresponding userspace changes can be found at [2]. Telemetry tools will also capture this information(along with other memory metrics) periodically as well as on important events like a foreground app kill (which might have been triggered by Low Memory Killer). It will also contribute to provide a snapshot of the system memory usage on other events such as OOM kills and Application Not Responding events. A shell script that can be run on a classic Linux environment to read out the DMA-BUF statistics can be found at [3](suggested by John Stultz). The patch contains the following improvements over the previous version: 1) Each attachment is represented by its own directory to allow creating a symlink to the importing device and to also provide room for future expansion. 2) The number of distinct mappings of each attachment is exposed in a separate file. 3) The per-buffer statistics are now in /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers inorder to make the interface expandable in future. All of the improvements above are based on suggestions/feedback from Daniel Vetter and Christian König.
