[Nouveau] [PATCH drm-misc-next] drm/sched: support multiple rings per gpu_scheduler
With the current mental model every GPU scheduler instance represents a single HW ring, while every entity represents a software queue feeding into one or multiple GPU scheduler instances and hence into one or multiple HW rings. This does not really scale with firmware schedulers feeding the actual HW rings, while the driver feeds the firmware scheduler through an arbitrary amount of dynamically created rings, since for each of those rings a GPU scheduler instance would be required and a separate kthread would be created. To overcome this we can think of the scheduler having two modes of operation, single ring mode and multi ring mode. Depending on the mode of operation, the mental model differs. Single ring mode (which is the default) keeps the original behaviour of the scheduler and its entities. In multi ring mode (enabled by passing the GPU scheduler the DRM_GPU_SCHEDULER_MODE_MULTI_RING flag) each entity represents a ring, while the GPU scheduler itself only exists to sort out job dependencies and actually process the jobs of each entity. By just applying this different mental model, the required code change is pretty minimalistic: While in single ring mode, if a job depends on a dma-fence from the same scheduler instance we only wait for the dependency to be scheduled (sched_fence->scheduled), in multi ring mode we fall through and just wait for the dependency to fully complete (sched_fence->finished) in order to avoid races between separate rings. Or in other words, to pick up the schedulers existing terminology, prevent dependency pipelining. Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich <dakr at redhat.com> --- Just before sending out this patch I was made aware of the "DRM Scheduler changes for XE" [1] patch series. However, I think bringing this alternative approach into discussion could be useful.>From a first glance it looks like that both approaches semantically aim forthe same goal, namely addressing firmware schedulers with arbitrary amounts of software rings to feed from the driver side. The "XE approach" for that seems to be to make GPU scheduler instances scalable by submitting jobs to a workqueue rather than creating a kthread per scheduler instance, such that per software ring a scheduler instance can be created. Hence the definition of a 1:1 relationship between scheduler and entity. In Nouveau we approached it differently, such that we have just one GPU scheduler per driver instance, while software rings are represented as entities. As explained in the commit message, this seems to work fine, as long as we can teach the scheduler to prevent dependency pipelining. As a hack this basically already works without this patch by just setting the DRM_SCHED_FENCE_DONT_PIPELINE flag for all out-fences.

With different rings + a firmware scheduler how do you do with pending list being in-order and jobs from different rings completing of order. The pending list in order nature is required for free_job being called and the TDR to work properly. 2. How do you flow control each ring in Nouveau? 3. Do you support per ring reset? Again how does this work if the pending list has jobs from multiple rings? The answer to all of these in Xe is solved by the 1 to 1 relationship between scheduler and entity. In addition to the above questions the 1 to 1 relationship in allows sleeping in the main worker in the callback functions which we use our preempt fence implementation. This implementation as is will not for Xe. Also in Xe it is desirable to have multiple CPUs to be submiting jobs in parallel too.

The scheduler depends on the sequential execution of submissions, otherwise we can't guarantee the sequential signaling of scheduler fences and this in turn is a really big NO-GO for dma_fences. You avoid most of the problems by setting the DRM_SCHED_FENCE_DONT_PIPELINE flag, but this is still something very flaky. Additional to that essentially the scheduler would still only push a limited number of submissions to the hw rings which makes the hardware scheduler pretty much useless.
