Each of the user contexts has two command queues, one for compute engine and one for the copy engine. Command queues are allocated and registered in the device when the first job (command buffer) is submitted from the user space to the VPU device. The userspace provides a list of GEM buffer object handles to submit to the VPU, the driver resolves buffer handles, pins physical memory if needed, increments ref count for each buffer and stores pointers to buffer objects in the ivpu_job objects that track jobs submitted to the device. The VPU signals job completion with an asynchronous message that contains the job id passed to firmware when the job was submitted. Currently, the driver supports simple scheduling logic where jobs submitted from user space are immediately pushed to the VPU device command queues. In the future, it will be extended to use hardware base scheduling and/or drm_sched.

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.
