Currently the driver supports gem_create, which can place +buffers in system memory via shmem, and the usual assortment of other +interfaces, like dumb buffers and userptr. + +To support this new capability, while also providing a uAPI which will work +beyond just DG1, we propose to offer three new bits of uAPI: + +DRM_I915_QUERY_MEMORY_REGIONS +----------------------------- +New query ID which allows userspace to discover the list of supported memory +regions(like system-memory and local-memory) for a given device. We identify +each region with a class and instance pair, which should be unique. The class +here would be DEVICE or SYSTEM, and the instance would be zero, on platforms +like DG1. + +Side note: The class/instance design is borrowed from our existing engine uAPI, +where we describe every physical engine in terms of its class, and the +particular instance, since we can have more than one per class. + +In the future we also want to expose more information which can further +describe the capabilities of a region. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h + :functions: drm_i915_gem_memory_class drm_i915_gem_memory_class_instance drm_i915_memory_region_info drm_i915_query_memory_regions + +GEM_CREATE_EXT +-------------- +New ioctl which is basically just gem_create but now allows userspace to provide +a chain of possible extensions. Note that if we don't provide any extensions and +set flags=0 then we get the exact same behaviour as gem_create. + +Side note: We also need to support PXP[1] in the near future, which is also +applicable to integrated platforms, and adds its own gem_create_ext extension, +which basically lets userspace mark a buffer as "protected". + +.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h + :functions: drm_i915_gem_create_ext + +I915_GEM_CREATE_EXT_MEMORY_REGIONS +---------------------------------- +Implemented as an extension for gem_create_ext, we would now allow userspace to +optionally provide an immutable list of preferred placements at creation time, +in priority order, for a given buffer object. For the placements we expect +them each to use the class/instance encoding, as per the output of the regions +query. Having the list in priority order will be useful in the future when +placing an object, say during eviction. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h + :functions: drm_i915_gem_create_ext_memory_regions + +One fair criticism here is that this seems a little over-engineered[2]. If we +just consider DG1 then yes, a simple gem_create.flags or something is totally +all that's needed to tell the kernel to allocate the buffer in local-memory or +whatever. However looking to the future we need uAPI which can also support +upcoming Xe HP multi-tile architecture in a sane way, where there can be +multiple local-memory instances for a given device, and so using both class and +instance in our uAPI to describe regions is desirable, although specifically +for DG1 it's uninteresting, since we only have a single local-memory instance. + +Existing uAPI issues +==================== +Some potential issues we still need to resolve. + +I915 MMAP +--------- +In i915 there are multiple ways to MMAP GEM object, including mapping the same +object using different mapping types(WC vs WB), i.e multiple active mmaps per +object. TTM expects one MMAP at most for the lifetime of the object. If it +turns out that we have to backpedal here, there might be some potential +userspace fallout. + +I915 SET/GET CACHING +-------------------- +In i915 we have set/get_caching ioctl. TTM doesn't let us to change this, but +DG1 doesn't support non-snooped pcie transactions, so we can just always +allocate as WB for smem-only buffers. If/when our hw gains support for +non-snooped pcie transactions then we must fix this mode at allocation time as +a new GEM extension. + +This is related to the mmap problem, because in general (meaning, when we're +not running on intel cpus) the cpu mmap must not, ever, be inconsistent with +allocation mode. + +Possible idea is to let the kernel picks the mmap mode for userspace from the +following table: + +smem-only: WB. Userspace does not need to call clflush. + +smem+lmem: We only ever allow a single mode, so simply allocate this as uncached +memory, and always give userspace a WC mapping. GPU still does snooped access +here(assuming we can't turn it off like on DG1), which is a bit inefficient. + +lmem only: always WC + +This means on discrete you only get a single mmap mode, all others must be +rejected. That's probably going to be a new default mode or something like +that. + +Links +===== +[1] https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/86798/ + +[2] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/5599#note_553791 diff --git a/Documentation/gpu/rfc/index.rst b/Documentation/gpu/rfc/index.rst index a8621f7dab8b..05670442ca1b 100644 --- a/Documentation/gpu/rfc/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/gpu/rfc/index.rst @@ -15,3 +15,7 @@ host such documentation: * Once the code has landed move all the documentation to the right places in the main core, helper or driver sections. + +.. toctree:: + + i915_gem_lmem.rst |
