The text is kinda implying that, but from one of your earlier replies to Tvrtko, that doesn't seem to be the case. I guess we could change the text to make this more explicit.Yes, I thought, if user doesn't specify the out fence, KMD better make the ioctl synchronous by waiting until the binding finishes before returning. Otherwise, UMD has no way to ensure binding is complete and UMD must pass in out fence for VM_BIND calls.
This problematic angle is exactly what I raised and I did not understand you were suggesting sync behaviour back then.
I suggested a possible execbuf3 extension which makes it wait for any pending (un)bind activity on a VM. Sounds better to me than making everything sync for the use case of N binds followed by 1 execbuf. *If* userspace wants an easy "fire and forget" mode for such use case, rather than having to use a fence on all.
Regards, Tvrtko
But latest comment form Daniel on other thread might suggest something else.Daniel, can you comment?In addition, previously we had the guarantee that an execbuf ioctl would wait for all the pending vm_bind operations to finish before doing anything. Do we still have this guarantee or do we have to make use of the fences now?No, we don't have that anymore (execbuf is decoupled from VM_BIND). Execbuf3 submission will not wait for any previous VM_BIND to finish. UMD must pass in VM_BIND out fence as in fence for execbuf3 to ensure that.+ */ +struct drm_i915_gem_vm_bind { + /** @vm_id: VM (address space) id to bind */ + __u32 vm_id; + + /** @handle: Object handle */ + __u32 handle; + + /** @start: Virtual Address start to bind */ + __u64 start; + + /** @offset: Offset in object to bind */ + __u64 offset; + + /** @length: Length of mapping to bind */ + __u64 length; + + /** + * @flags: Supported flags are: + * + * I915_GEM_VM_BIND_READONLY: + * Mapping is read-only.Can you please explain what happens when we try to write to a range that's bound as read-only?It will be mapped as read-only in device page table. Hence any write access will fail. I would expect a CAT error reported. I am seeing that currently the page table R/W setting is based on whether BO is readonly or not (UMDs can request a userptr BO to readonly). We can make this READONLY here as a subset. ie., if BO is readonly, the mappings must be readonly. If BO is not readonly, then the mapping can be either readonly or not.
