[PATCH 1/9] drm: execution context for GEM buffers v3

Tue Feb 28 08:33:58 UTC 2023


This adds the infrastructure for an execution context for GEM buffers
which is similar to the existinc TTMs execbuf util and intended to replace
it in the long term.

The basic functionality is that we abstracts the necessary loop to lock
many different GEM buffers with automated deadlock and duplicate handling.

v2: drop xarray and use dynamic resized array instead, the locking
    overhead is unecessary and measureable.
v3: drop duplicate tracking, radeon is really the only one needing that.

+/**
+ * DOC: Overview
+ *
+ * This component mainly abstracts the retry loop necessary for locking
+ * multiple GEM objects while preparing hardware operations (e.g. command
+ * submissions, page table updates etc..).
+ *
+ * If a contention is detected while locking a GEM object the cleanup procedure
+ * unlocks all previously locked GEM objects and locks the contended one first
+ * before locking any further objects.
+ *
+ * After an object is locked fences slots can optionally be reserved on the
+ * dma_resv object inside the GEM object.
+ *
+ * A typical usage pattern should look like this::
+ *
+ *	struct drm_gem_object *obj;
+ *	struct drm_exec exec;
+ *	unsigned long index;
+ *	int ret;
+ *
+ *	drm_exec_init(&exec, true);
+ *	drm_exec_while_not_all_locked(&exec) {
+ *		ret = drm_exec_prepare_obj(&exec, boA, 1);
+ *		drm_exec_continue_on_contention(&exec);
+ *		if (ret)
+ *			goto error;
+ *
+ *		ret = drm_exec_lock(&exec, boB, 1);
+ *		drm_exec_continue_on_contention(&exec);
+ *		if (ret)
+ *			goto error;
+ *	}
+ *
+ *	drm_exec_for_each_locked_object(&exec, index, obj) {
+ *		dma_resv_add_fence(obj->resv, fence, DMA_RESV_USAGE_READ);
+ *		...
+ *	}
+ *	drm_exec_fini(&exec);
+ *
+ * See struct dma_exec for more details.
