I think we must return an error from the kernel and let user mode sort it out; potentially by breaking up the operation into smaller pieces, or (ick), simply falling back to software. Eliminating per-submit flushing will even make this reasonably efficient as we remap the GTT as objects are used. I don't think we want to support automatic partitioning of the operation in the kernel; punting that step to user mode seems like a sensible option. Certainly presenting all of the objects to the kernel atomically will permit it to succeed if the device can possibly perform the operation; ejecting all existing objects and reloading with precisely the objects proposed by the application can be done, and is even inexpensive on UMA hardware. > The way to get around this is to mandate that hardware supports paged > virtual memory...

(Yes for some operations with thousands and thousands of relocations, the user space validation might need to stay). I do not want to do relocations in user space. I don't see why doing thousands of these requires moving this operation out of the kernel. Agreed. The original conception for this was to have valdiation plus relocations be a single operation, and by implication in the kernel. Although the code as it stands doesn't do this, I think that should still be the approach. The issue with thousands of relocations from my point of view isn't a problem - that's just a matter of getting appropriate data structures in place. Where things get a bit more interesting is with hardware where you are required to submit a whole scene's worth of rendering before the hardware will kick off, and with the expectation that the texture placement will remain unchanged throughout the scene. This is a very easy way to hit any upper limit on texture memory - the agp aperture size in the case of integrated chipsets. That's a special case of a the general problem of what do you do when a client submits any validation list that can't be satisfied. Failing to render isn't really an option, either the client or the memory manager has to either prevent it happening in the first place or have some mechanism for chopping up the dma buffer into segments which are satisfiable... Neither of which I can see an absolutely reliable way to do. I think that any memory manager we can propose will have flaws of some sort - either it is prone to failures that aren't really allowed by the API, is excessively complex or somewhat pessimistic. We've chosen a design that is simple, optimistic, but can potentially say "no" unexpectedly. It would then be up to the client to somehow pick up the pieces & potentially submit a smaller list. So far we just haven't touched on how that might work. The way to get around this is to mandate that hardware supports paged virtual memory... But that seems to be a difficult trick.

Right, what I'm trying to avoid is having any contention for applications *not* sharing the same objects. If there is any locking for mapping, we can either attempt to define a locking order, or we can have a single global lock. The former leaves us prone to deadlocks, the latter eliminates the ability for un-contended parallel access. > * It will encourage different DRI clients to simultaneously access > the same buffer. Sure. Separate 'DRI' from 'GL' and this may be a sensible plan.

You may either have data available to the CPU or to the GPU. I think that's a basic requirement for any solution in this space. Keying the submit and map as to whether writing will occur means that appropriate flushing and fencing can be automatically applied within the kernel. > OTOH, letting DRM resolve the deadlock by unmapping and remapping shared > buffers in the correct order might not be the best one either.

If this both thread access different pixel it make sense to let them work together at the same time on the texture. If they are writing to same pixel then they will have to sync between them so they don't do somethings stupid. My point is that the user space will know better if sync is needed or not and how to sync access to the same buffer.

In what situation will this occur? If we think of map / unmap and validation / fence as taking a buffer mutex either for the CPU or for the GPU, that's the way implementation is done today. The CPU side of the mutex should IIRC be per-client recursive. OTOH, the TTM implementation won't stop the CPU from accessing the buffer when it is unmapped, but then you're on your own. "Mutexes" need to be taken in the correct order, otherwise a deadlock will occur, and GL will, as outlined in Eric's illustration, more or less encourage us to take buffers in the "incorrect" order. In essence what you propose is to eliminate the deadlock problem by just avoiding taking the buffer mutex unless we know the GPU has it. I see two problems with this: * It will encourage different DRI clients to simultaneously access the same buffer. * Inter-client and GPU data coherence can be guaranteed if we issue a mb() / write-combining flush with the unmap operation (which, BTW, I'm not sure is done today). Otherwise it is up to the clients, and very easy to forget. I'm a bit afraid we might in the future regret taking the easy way out? OTOH, letting DRM resolve the deadlock by unmapping and remapping shared buffers in the correct order might not be the best one either. It will certainly mean some CPU overhead and what if we have to do the same with buffer validation? (Yes for some operations with thousands and thousands of relocations, the user space validation might need to stay). Personally, I'm slightly biased towards having DRM resolve the deadlock, but I think any solution will do as long as the implications and why we choose a certain solution are totally clear. For item 3) above the kernel must have a way to issue a flush when needed for buffer eviction. The current implementation also requires the buffer to be completely flushed before mapping. Other than that the flushing policy is currently completely up to the DRM drivers. /Thomas I might say stupid things as i don't think i fully understand all the input to this problem. Anyway here is my thought on all this: 1) First client map never block (as in Keith layout) except on fence from drm side (point 3 in Keith layout) But is there really a need for this except to avoid the above-mentioned deadlock? As I'm not too up to date with all the possibilities the servers and GL clients may be using shared buffers, I need some enlightenment :). Could we have an example, please? 4) We got 2 gpu queue: - one with pending apps ask in which we do all stuff necessary to be done before submitting (locking buffer, validation, ...) for instance we might wait here for each buffer that are still mapped by some other apps in user space - one run queue in which we add each apps ask that are now ready to be submited to the gpu This is getting closer and closer to a GPU scheduler, an interesting topic indeed.

We can play with pending the flush until the app asks for the buffer back, or we can play with figuring out when flushes are useful automatically. Doesn't matter if the policy is in the kernel. I'm interested in making deadlock avoidence trivial and eliminating any map-map contention. It's rare to have two clients access the same buffer at the same time. In what situation will this occur? If we think of map / unmap and validation / fence as taking a buffer mutex either for the CPU or for the GPU, that's the way implementation is done today. The CPU side of the mutex should IIRC be per-client recursive. OTOH, the TTM implementation won't stop the CPU from accessing the buffer when it is unmapped, but then you're on your own. "Mutexes" need to be taken in the correct order, otherwise a deadlock will occur, and GL will, as outlined in Eric's illustration, more or less encourage us to take buffers in the "incorrect" order. In essence what you propose is to eliminate the deadlock problem by just avoiding taking the buffer mutex unless we know the GPU has it. I see two problems with this: * It will encourage different DRI clients to simultaneously access the same buffer. * Inter-client and GPU data coherence can be guaranteed if we issue a mb() / write-combining flush with the unmap operation (which, BTW, I'm not sure is done today). Otherwise it is up to the clients, and very easy to forget. I'm a bit afraid we might in the future regret taking the easy way out? OTOH, letting DRM resolve the deadlock by unmapping and remapping shared buffers in the correct order might not be the best one either. It will certainly mean some CPU overhead and what if we have to do the same with buffer validation? (Yes for some operations with thousands and thousands of relocations, the user space validation might need to stay). Personally, I'm slightly biased towards having DRM resolve the deadlock, but I think any solution will do as long as the implications and why we choose a certain solution are totally clear. For item 3) above the kernel must have a way to issue a flush when needed for buffer eviction. The current implementation also requires the buffer to be completely flushed before mapping. Other than that the flushing policy is currently completely up to the DRM drivers. /Thomas - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

What this says is that ordering of rendering between clients is *not DRMs problem*. I think that's a good solution though; I want to let multiple apps work on DRM-able memory with their own CPU without contention.

This patch only covers the core functionality and changes to the drm core. The TTM memory manager enables dynamic mapping of memory objects in and out of the graphic card accessible memory (e.g. AGP), this implements the AGP backend for TTM to be used by the i915 driver. I've been slow responding, but we've been talking a lot on IRC and at Intel about the TTM interface recently, and trying to come up with a concensus between us as to what we'd like to see. 1) Multiplexed ioctls hurt The first issue I have with this version is the userland interface. You've got two ioctls for buffer management and once for fence management, yet these 3 ioctls are actually just attempting to be generic interfaces for around 25 actual functions you want to call (except for the unimplemented ones, drm_bo_fence and drm_bo_ref_fence). So there are quasi-generic arguments to these ioctls, where most of the members are ignored by any given function, but it's not obvious to the caller which ones. There's no comments or anything as to what the arguments to these functions are or what exactly they do. We've got 100 generic ioctl numbers allocated and unused still, so I don't think we should be shy about having separate ioctls for separate functions, if this is the interface we expect to use going forward. Right. This interface was in its infancy when there were only (without looking to deeply) three generic IOCTLS left. this is definitely a good point and I agree completely. 2) Early microoptimizations There's also apparently an unused way to chain these function calls in a single ioctl call for the buffer object ioctl. This is one of a couple of microoptimizations at the expense of code clarity which have bothered me while reviewing the TTM code, when I'm guessing no testing was done to see if it was actually a bottleneck. Yes. The function chaining is currently only used to validate buffer lists. I still believe it is needed for that functionality, a bit depending on what we want to be able to change when a buffer is validated. But I can currently not see any other use for it in the future. 3) Fencing and flushing troubles I'm definitely concerned by the fencing interface. Right now, the driver is flushing caches and fencing every buffer with EXE and its driver-specific FLUSHED flag in dispatching command buffers. We almost surely don't want to be flushing for every batch buffer just in case someone wants to do CPU reads from something. However, with the current mechanism, if I fence my operation with just EXE and no flush, then somebody goes to map that buffer, they'll wait for the fence, but no flush will be emitted. The interface we've been imagining wouldn't have driver-specific fence flags, but instead be only a marker of when command execution has passed a certain point (which is what fencing is about, anyway). In validating buffers, you would pass whether they're for READ or WRITE as we currently do, and you'd put it on the unfenced read/write lists as appropriate. Add one buffer object function for emitting the flush, which would then determine whether the next fence-all-unfenced call would cover just the list of unfenced reads or the list of both unfenced reads and unfenced writes. Then, in mapping, check if it's on the unfenced-writes list and emit the flush and fence, and then wait for a fence on the buffer before continuing with the mapping. Right. This functionality is actually available in the current code, except that we have only one unfenced list and the fence flags indicate what type of flushes are needed. There's even an implementation of the intel sync flush mechanism in the fencing code. If the batch-buffer flush is omitted the driver specific flush flag is not needed and the fence mechanism will do a sync flush whenever needed

Okay I think in-kernel typedefs have to go, but we have a defined DRM interface like it or not and I'd like to be consistent on the userspace interface and continue to use typedefs, I don't want to have a major inconsistency like half the interface in typedefs the other half in non-typedefs, considering the old interface is frozen... - the comment style for the functions is "odd" and not in kerneldoc form, but something else.
