[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2 1/4] i965: Add virtual memory allocator infrastructure to brw_bufmgr.

Kenneth Graunke kenneth at whitecape.org
Mon May 28 04:35:40 UTC 2018


This introduces a new fast virtual memory allocator integrated with our
BO cache bucketing.  For larger objects, it falls back to the simple
free-list allocator (util_vma).

This puts the allocators in place but doesn't enable softpin yet.

v2:
 (feedback from Chris Wilson)
 - Check (bo->kflags & EXEC_OBJECT_PINNED) instead of a global flag
 - Avoid vma_free(0ull) on the err_free path.
 - Only enable if the kernel says we have full PPGTT support
 - Make bucketing allocators more resistant to failing to grow arrays
 (feedback from Scott Phillips)
 - Don't use node after popping it from the list.
 - Avoid undefined behavior in canonicalization by reusing new helper
 - Comment updates
 (feedback from myself)
 - Avoid __vma_alloc vs. vma_alloc by making a zero_high_bits helper
   to return a non-canonical address with the high bits zeroed.

I plan to land this series this week, barring any major objections.
Scott reviewed it all (from my v1.9 branch), but I wasn't positive
whether some of his reviews still applied...so I figured I'd play it
safe and send it out one more time.

+/**
+ * i965 fixed-size bucketing VMA allocator.
+ *
+ * The BO cache maintains "cache buckets" for buffers of various sizes.
+ * All buffers in a given bucket are identically sized - when allocating,
+ * we always round up to the bucket size.  This means that virtually all
+ * allocations are fixed-size; only buffers which are too large to fit in
+ * a bucket can be variably-sized.
+ *
+ * We create an allocator for each bucket.  Each contains a free-list, where
+ * each node contains a <starting address, 64-bit bitmap> pair.  Each bit
+ * represents a bucket-sized block of memory.  (At the first level, each
+ * bit corresponds to a page.  For the second bucket, bits correspond to
+ * two pages, and so on.)  1 means a block is free, and 0 means it's in-use.
+ * The lowest bit in the bitmap is for the first block.
+ *
+ * This makes allocations cheap - any bit of any node will do.  We can pick
+ * the head of the list and use ffs() to find a free block.  If there are
+ * none, we allocate 64 blocks from a larger allocator - either a bigger
+ * bucketing allocator, or a fallback top-level allocator for large objects.
