completely rework the dma_resv semantic

by Christian König

Hi everyone, compared to the last version I've dropped the pruning as suggested by Maarten, split the new DMA_RESV_USAGE_* patches from the general introduction as suggeted by Daniel and renamed OTEHRS to BOOKKEEP as suggested by Pekka. Please take a look and review, Christian.

I think that would also ba e bit clearer semantics in the dma-buf patch which does these waits for us. Or should dma_buf_pin be pipelined and it's up to callers to wait? For kms that's definitely the semantics we want, but it's a bit playing with fire situation, so maybe dma-buf should get the more idiot proof semantics? > + */ > + DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL, > + > + /** > + * @DMA_RESV_USAGE_WRITE: Implicit write synchronization. > + * > + * This should only be used for userspace command submissions which add > + * an implicit write dependency. > + */ > + DMA_RESV_USAGE_WRITE, > + > + /** > + * @DMA_RESV_USAGE_READ: Implicit read synchronization. > + * > + * This should only be used for userspace command submissions which add > + * an implicit read dependency. > + */ > + DMA_RESV_USAGE_READ, > + > + /** > + * @DMA_RESV_USAGE_OTHER: No implicit sync. > + * > + * This should be used for operations which don't want to add an > + * implicit dependency at all, but still have a dependency on memory > + * management. > + * > + * This might include things like preemption fences as well as device > + * page table updates or even userspace command submissions.

Well that one here looks like a bugfix to me, so either through drm-misc-fixes ore some i915 -fixes branch sounds fine to me.

There is a difference at which point they can get combined. With write-combine they can be coalesced into a single transaction anywhere in the interconnect, as early as the CPU itself. Without write-cobmine the DDR controller might decide to combine them, but not earlier. This can make a difference especially if the write is a narrow write, i.e. the access size is smaller than the buswidth. Lets say you do 32-bit writes, but your bus is 64 bits wide. With WC two 32-bits can be combined into a 64-bit write. Without WC that is not possible and you are potentially not using the bus to its fullest capacity. This is especially true if the memory bus is wider than the widest access size of the CPU.

completely rework the dma_resv semantic

by Christian König

Hi guys, as discussed before this set of patches completely rework the dma_resv semantic and spreads the new handling over all the existing drivers and users. First of all this drops the DAG approach because it requires that every single driver implements those relatively complicated rules correctly and any violation of that immediately leads to either corruption of freed memory or even more severe security problems. Instead we just keep all fences around all the time until they are signaled. Only fences with the same context are assumed to be signaled in the correct order since this is exercised elsewhere as well. Replacing fences is now only supported for hardware mechanism like VM page table updates where the hardware can guarantee that the resource can't be accessed any more. Then the concept of a single exclusive fence and multiple shared fences is dropped as well. Instead the dma_resv object is now just a container for dma_fence objects where each fence has associated usage flags. Those use flags describe how the operation represented by the dma_fence object is using the resource protected by the dma_resv object. This allows us to add multiple fences for each usage type. Additionally to the existing WRITE/READ usages this patch set also adds the new KERNEL and OTHER usages. The KERNEL usages is used in cases where the kernel needs to do some operation with the resource protected by the dma_resv object, like copies or clears. Those are mandatory to wait for when dynamic memory management is used. The OTHER usage is for cases where we don't want that the operation represented by the dma_fence object participate in any implicit sync but needs to be respected by the kernel memory management. Examples for those are VM page table updates and preemption fences. While doing this the new implementation cleans up existing workarounds all over the place, but especially amdgpu and TTM. Surprisingly I also found two use cases for the KERNEL/OTHER usage in i915 and Nouveau, those might need more thoughts. In general the existing functionality should been preserved, the only downside is that we now always need to reserve a slot before adding a fence. The newly added call to the reservation function can probably use some more cleanup. TODOs: Testing, testing, testing, doublechecking the newly added kerneldoc for any typos. Please review and/or comment, Christian.
