Typically a very small number.Ok, my guess was that on insertion you'd actually walk the extobj list and see if there's a vma backed by the same BO already, while on removal you said you're walking the BO's vma list. So I guess on insertion you're also walking the BO's vma list and see if there's already a mapping for this VM? In your case that might make sense if you expect the extobj list to be larger than the BO's vma list typically. In general I don't think this is true.> > > > > > > Although assuming that's a no-go for GPUVA wouldn't an XArray be a better > > > > choice, keeping O(1)? > > > > When tracking extobjs, the address of the drm_gem_object is the key while the > > > > reference count is the value.

In a maple tree with 0xFFFF - 1 existing entries insertion of a random (non-existant) entry took on average ~530ns over 1k iterations. The average insertion time for each entry to build up a tree with 0xFFFF - 1 entries in the first place was ~1.3us. That's expected since it should hit memory allocations more often than the previous one. The maximum peak was ~10us. Inserting already existing entries took ~300ns. That's probably good enough.> > > > > Otherwise, if you want, I could do some experiments with Xarray and see how > > that works out compared to using a maple tree. > > > > Btw. another nice thing about using Xarray or maple tree for that is that > > drivers updating the VA space from the fence signalling path don't need to > > hold a GPU-VM lock to update the extobj list.

Isn't the VA space / > fence object list always updated sync from the IOCTL?For the extobj list I don't see any advantage not doing that in the IOCTL right away. For the VA space there are a few advantages doing it in the fence signalling path. (1) No need to allocate drm_gpuva_ops at all. For a given map / unmap request the driver can receive the callbacks for map / remap / unmap directly. (2) No need to unwind VA space updates on failure, also no need for any other unwind tricks. (3) Synchronous bind jobs can be injected at any point of time and don't need to be queued up in the scheduler to preserve ordering. (4) Potentially less error prone ressource management. Although, I admit partly this is just the consequence of (1) and (2). Actually, once I get the page table management prepared for that I'd like to move Nouveau over this approach.> > /Thomas > > > > > > > /Thomas > > > > > > > > > > > > > > + > > > > > > > > + /** > > > > > > > > + * @evict: structure holding the evict list and evict list lock > > > > > > > > + */ > > > > > > > > + struct { > > > > > > > > + /** > > > > > > > > + * @list: &list_head storing &drm_gem_objects currently being > > > > > > > > + * evicted > > > > > > > > + */ > > > > > > > > + struct list_head list; > > > > > > > > + > > > > > > > > + /** > > > > > > > > + * @lock: spinlock to protect the evict list against concurrent > > > > > > > > + * insertion / removal of different &drm_gpuva_gems > > > > > > > > + */ > > > > > > > > + spinlock_t lock; > > > > > > > > + } evict; > > > > > > > > }; > > > > > > > > void drm_gpuva_manager_init(struct drm_gpuva_manager *mgr, > > > > > > > > + struct drm_device *drm, > > > > > > > > const char *name, > > > > > > > > u64 start_offset, u64 range, > > > > > > > > u64 reserve_offset, u64 reserve_range, > > > > > > > > const struct drm_gpuva_fn_ops *ops); > > > > > > > > void drm_gpuva_manager_destroy(struct drm_gpuva_manager *mgr); > > > > > > > > +/** > > > > > > > > + * DRM_GPUVA_EXEC - returns the &drm_gpuva_managers &drm_exec instance > > > > > > > > + * @mgr: the &drm_gpuva_managers to return the &drm_exec instance for > > > > > > > > + */ > > > > > > > > +#define DRM_GPUVA_EXEC(mgr) &(mgr)->exec > > > > > > > A struct ww_acquire_ctx and thus a drm_exec is fundamentally per task and > > > > > > > should typically be allocated on the stack.

In general I don't think this is true.I think we're then optimizing for different scenarios. Our compute driver will use mostly external objects only, and if shared, I don't forsee them bound to many VMs. What saves us currently here is that in compute mode we only really traverse the extobj list after a preempt fence wait, or when a vm is using a new context for the first time. So vm's extobj list is pretty large. Each bo's vma list will typically be pretty small. Another reason for us to use the list is that one possible, but not yet implemented, workaround for this is the "vm fence", which when attached to external bos pulls them off the extobj list and on "enable_signalling()" splices its sublist of external bos back, and then snapshots the vm's dma_resv and waits for all its fences. (The idea is that it should very seldom be waited for in practice, and largely eliminate the extobj handling). Here a list is an ideal data structure for list removal and splicing. TBH we really want to avoid this optimization but we need to see how bad extobj handling ends up in practice for the compute drivers.> >>>>> Although assuming that's a no-go for GPUVA wouldn't an XArray be a better >>>>> choice, keeping O(1)? >>>>> When tracking extobjs, the address of the drm_gem_object is the key while the >>>>> reference count is the value.

For drm_exec, Christian chose a realloced array because of linked list cache locality issues, and Xarray locking requirements causing measurable performance issues. Wouldn't a maple tree suffer from both of these?

I guess I need to look at the resulting implementation to fully digest this.
