Some hardware may require more complex resource utilization accounting than the simple job count supported by drm_sched internally. Add a can_run_job callback to allow drivers to implement more logic before deciding whether to run a GPU job.

Ok scheduler rules, or trying to summarize the entire discussion:
dma_fence rules are very tricky. The two main chapters in the docs are
https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/driver-api/dma-buf.html?highlight=dma_b... https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/driver-api/dma-buf.html?highlight=dma_b...
Unforutunately I don't think it's possible to check this at compile time, thus far all we can do is validate at runtime. I've posted two patches for this:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20201023122216.2373294-17-daniel.vetter@ff... https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20201023122216.2373294-20-daniel.vetter@ff...
Unfortunately most drivers are buggy and get this completely wrong, so realistically we'd need to make this a per-driver opt-out and annotate all current drivers. Well except amdgpu is correct by now I think (they'd still need to test that).
There is still one potential memory allocation in the run_job callback in amdgpu which I wasn't able to fix yet.
But that one is purely academic and could potentially be trivially replaced with using GFP_ATOMIC if we ever have to.
I think the modeset in the tdr code was more scary, and I'm not sure you really managed to get rid of absolutely everything in there yet. -Daniel
Christian.
And Rob Clark is working on patches to fix up msm.
I think best here is if you work together with Rob to make sure these annotations are mandatory for any rust drivers (I don't want new buggy drivers at least). Would also be great to improve the kerneldoc for all the driver hooks to explain these restrictions and link to the relevant kerneldocs (there's also one for the dma_fence signalling annotations which might be worth linking too).
I don't see any way to make this explicit in rust types, it's really only something runtime tests (using lockdep) can catch. Somewhat disappointing.
For the other things discussed here:
Option<Dma_Fence> as the return value for ->prepare_job makes sense to me.
I don't see any way a driver can use ->can_run_job without breaking the above rules, that really doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
Cheers, Daniel
