Let me quickly try to explain where this limitation comes from and how I intend to address it. In order to be able to allocate the required page tables for a mapping request and in order to free corresponding page tables once the (async) job finished I need to know the corresponding sequence of operations (drm_gpuva_ops) to fulfill the mapping request. This requires me to update the GPUVA space in the ioctl() rather than in the async stage, because otherwise I would need to wait for previous jobs to finish before being able to submit subsequent jobs to the job queue, since I need an up to date view of the GPUVA space in order to calculate the sequence of operations to fulfill a mapping request. As a consequence all jobs need to be processed in the order they were submitted, including synchronous jobs. @Matt: I think you will have the same limitation with synchronous jobs as your implementation in XE should be similar? In order to address it I want to switch to using callbacks rather than 'pre-allocated' drm_gpuva_ops and update the GPUVA space within the asynchronous stage. This would allow me to 'fit' synchronous jobs between jobs waiting in the async job queue. However, to do this I have to re-work how the page table handling in Nouveau is implemented, since this would require me to be able to manage the page tables without knowing the exact sequence of operations to fulfill a mapping request. - Danilo> >> drm/nouveau: new VM_BIND uapi interfaces >> drm/nouveau: get vmm via nouveau_cli_vmm() >> drm/nouveau: bo: initialize GEM GPU VA interface >> drm/nouveau: move usercopy helpers to nouveau_drv.h >> drm/nouveau: fence: separate fence alloc and emit >> drm/nouveau: fence: fail to emit when fence context is killed >> drm/nouveau: chan: provide nouveau_channel_kill() >> drm/nouveau: nvkm/vmm: implement raw ops to manage uvmm >> drm/nouveau: implement new VM_BIND uAPI >> drm/nouveau: debugfs: implement DRM GPU VA debugfs >> >> Documentation/gpu/driver-uapi.rst | 11 + >> Documentation/gpu/drm-mm.rst | 54 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig | 6 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/Makefile | 3 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/drm_debugfs.c | 41 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/drm_exec.c | 278 +++ >> drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c | 3 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gpuva_mgr.c | 1971 ++++++++++++++++ >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/Kbuild | 3 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/Kconfig | 2 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/dispnv04/crtc.c | 9 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/include/nvif/if000c.h | 26 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/include/nvif/vmm.h | 19 +- >> .../gpu/drm/nouveau/include/nvkm/subdev/mmu.h | 20 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_abi16.c | 24 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_abi16.h | 1 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c | 204 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.h | 2 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_chan.c | 22 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_chan.h | 1 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_debugfs.c | 39 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_dmem.c | 9 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c | 27 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drv.h | 94 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_exec.c | 418 ++++ >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_exec.h | 54 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.c | 23 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.h | 5 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_gem.c | 62 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_mem.h | 5 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_prime.c | 2 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sched.c | 461 ++++ >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sched.h | 123 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_svm.c | 2 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c | 1979 +++++++++++++++++ >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.h | 107 + >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_vmm.c | 4 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvif/vmm.c | 100 +- >> .../gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/mmu/uvmm.c | 213 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/mmu/vmm.c | 197 +- >> drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/mmu/vmm.h | 25 + >> .../drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/mmu/vmmgf100.c | 16 +- >> .../drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/mmu/vmmgp100.c | 16 +- >> .../gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/mmu/vmmnv50.c | 27 +- >> include/drm/drm_debugfs.h | 25 + >> include/drm/drm_drv.h | 6 + >> include/drm/drm_exec.h | 119 + >> include/drm/drm_gem.h | 52 + >> include/drm/drm_gpuva_mgr.h | 682 ++++++ >> include/linux/maple_tree.h | 7 +- >> include/uapi/drm/nouveau_drm.h | 209 ++ >> 51 files changed, 7566 insertions(+), 242 deletions(-) >> create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/drm_exec.c >> create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gpuva_mgr.c >> create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_exec.c >> create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_exec.h >> create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sched.c >> create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sched.h >> create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c >> create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.h >> create mode 100644 include/drm/drm_exec.h >> create mode 100644 include/drm/drm_gpuva_mgr.h >> >> >> base-commit: 2222dcb0775d36de28992f56455ab3967b30d380 >
