Don't wait sync while migrating, but rather make the GPU blit await the dependencies and add a moving fence to the object. This also enables asynchronous VRAM management in that on eviction, rather than waiting for the moving fence to expire before freeing VRAM, it is freed immediately and the fence is stored with the VRAM manager and handed out to newly allocated objects to await before clears and swapins, or for kernel objects before setting up gpu vmas or mapping. To collect dependencies before migrating, add a set of utilities that coalesce these to a single dma_fence. What is still missing for fully asynchronous operation is asynchronous vma unbinding, which is still to be implemented. This commit substantially reduces execution time in the gem_lmem_swapping test. v2: - Make a couple of functions static. v4: - Fix some style issues (Matthew Auld) - Audit and add more checks for ghost objects (Matthew Auld) - Add more documentation for the i915_deps utility (Mattew Auld) - Simplify the i915_deps_sync() function v6: - Re-check for fence signaled before returning -EBUSY (Matthew Auld) - Use dma_resv_iter_is_exclusive() (Matthew Auld) - Await all dma-resv fences before a migration blit (Matthew Auld) Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20211122214554.371864-6-thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
