When using RCU lookup for the request, commit 0eafec6d ("drm/i915: Enable lockless lookup of request tracking via RCU"), we acknowledge that we may race with another thread that could have reallocated the request. In order for the first thread not to blow up, the second thread must not clear the request completed before overwriting it. In the RCU lookup, we allow for the engine/seqno to be replaced but we do not allow for it to be zeroed. The choice we make is to either add extra checking to the RCU lookup, or embrace the inherent races (as intended). It is more complicated as we need to manually clear everything we depend upon being zero initialised, but we benefit from not emiting the memset() to clear the entire frequently allocated structure (that memset turns up in throughput profiles). And at the same time, the lookup remains flexible for future adjustments. v2: Old style LRC requires another variable to be initialize. (The danger inherent in not zeroing everything.) v3: request->batch also needs to be cleared v4: signaling.tsk is no long used unset, but pid still exists Fixes: 0eafec6d ("drm/i915: Enable lockless lookup of request...")

When we force the cleanup after a GPU hang, we want to retire all requests, or else we may leak them if truly wedged (and the GPU never advances again). Converting to the active request helpers had the issue of doing the check against busyness before reporting the request, so if we claim the GPU had hung but this engine hadn't we could potential skip the request cleanup - triggering the self-check BUG.

Since we are not concerned with userspace racing itself with set-tiling (the order is indeterminant even if we take a lock), then we can safely read back the single obj->tiling_mode and do the static lookup of swizzle mode without having to take a lock. get-tiling is reasonably frequent due to the back-channel passing around of tiling parameters in DRI2/DRI3. v2: Make tiling_mode a full unsigned int so that we can trivially use it with READ_ONCE(). Separating it out into manual control over the flags field was too noisy for a simple patch. Note that we could use the lower bits of obj->stride for the tiling mode.

We don't need to incur the overhead of checking whether the object is pinned prior to changing its madvise. If the object is pinned, the madvise will not take effect until it is unpinned and so we cannot free the pages being pointed at by hardware. Marking a pinned object with allocated pages as DONTNEED will not trigger any undue warnings. The check is therefore superfluous, and by removing it we can remove a linear walk over all the vma the object has. Still despite it being an overzealous check, that error code is part of the current ABI and so we must proceed with caution.

With a bit of care (and leniency) we can iterate over the object and wait for previous rendering to complete with judicial use of atomic reference counting. The ABI requires us to ensure that an active object is eventually flushed (like the busy-ioctl) which is guaranteed by our management of requests (i.e. everything that is submitted to hardware is flushed in the same request). All we have to do is ensure that we can detect when the requests are complete for reporting when the object is idle (without triggering ETIME), locklessly - this is handled by i915_gem_active_wait_unlocked(). The impact of this is actually quite small - the return to userspace following the wait was already lockless and so we don't see much gain in latency improvement upon completing the wait. What we do achieve here is completing an already finished wait without hitting the struct_mutex, our hold is quite short and so we are typically just a victim of contention rather than a cause - but it is still one less contention point! v2: Break up a long line.

If we make the observation that mmap-offsets are only released when we free an object, we can then deduce that the shrinker only creates free space in the mmap arena indirectly by flushing the request list and freeing expired objects. If we combine this with the lockless vma-manager and lockless idling, we can avoid taking our big struct_mutex until we need to actually free the requests. One side-effect is that we defer the madvise checking until we need the pages (i.e. the fault handler). This brings us into line with the other delayed checks (and madvise in general). v2: s/ret/err/ and use if (!err) rather than if (ret == 0) Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1470388464-28458-9-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk

We can now wait for the GPU (all engines) to become idle without requiring the struct_mutex.

The principal motivation for this was to try and eliminate the struct_mutex from i915_gem_suspend - but we still need to hold the mutex current for the i915_gem_context_lost(). (The issue there is that there may be an indirect lockdep cycle between cpu_hotplug (i.e. suspend) and struct_mutex via the stop_machine().) For the moment, enabling last request tracking for the engine, allows us to do busyness checking and waiting without requiring the struct_mutex - which is useful in its own right. As a side-effect of having a robust means for tracking engine busyness, we can replace our other busyness heuristic, that of comparing against the last submitted seqno. For paranoid reasons, we have a semi-ordered check of that seqno inside the hangchecker, which we can now improve to an ordered check of the engine's busyness (removing a locked xchg in the process). v2: Pass along "bool interruptible" as being unlocked we cannot rely on i915->mm.interruptible being stable or even under our control. v3: Replace check Ironlake i915_gpu_busy() with the common precalculated value Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1470388464-28458-6-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk

If we enable RCU for the requests (providing a grace period where we can inspect a "dead" request before it is freed), we can allow callers to carefully perform lockless lookup of an active request. However, by enabling deferred freeing of requests, we can potentially hog a lot of memory when dealing with tens of thousands of requests per second - with a quick insertion of a synchronize_rcu() inside our shrinker callback, that issue disappears. v2: Currently, it is our responsibility to handle reclaim i.e. to avoid hogging memory with the delayed slab frees. At the moment, we wait for a grace period in the shrinker, and block for all RCU callbacks on oom. Suggested alternatives focus on flushing our RCU callback when we have a certain number of outstanding request frees, and blocking on that flush after a second high watermark. (So rather than wait for the system to run out of memory, we stop issuing requests - both are nondeterministic.) Paul E. McKenney wrote: Another approach is synchronize_rcu() after some largish number of requests. The advantage of this approach is that it throttles the production of callbacks at the source. The corresponding disadvantage is that it slows things up. Another approach is to use call_rcu(), but if the previous call_rcu() is still in flight, block waiting for it. Yet another approach is the get_state_synchronize_rcu() / cond_synchronize_rcu() pair. The idea is to do something like this: cond_synchronize_rcu(cookie); cookie = get_state_synchronize_rcu(); You would of course do an initial get_state_synchronize_rcu() to get things going. This would not block unless there was less than one grace period's worth of time between invocations. But this assumes a busy system, where there is almost always a grace period in flight. But you can make that happen as follows: cond_synchronize_rcu(cookie); cookie = get_state_synchronize_rcu(); call_rcu(&my_rcu_head, noop_function); Note that you need additional code to make sure that the old callback has completed before doing a new one. Setting and clearing a flag with appropriate memory ordering control suffices (e.g,. smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release()). v3: More comments on compiler and processor order of operations within the RCU lookup and discover we can use rcu_access_pointer() here instead. v4: Wrap i915_gem_active_get_rcu() to take the rcu_read_lock itself.

Just move it earlier so that we can use the companion nonblocking version in a couple of more callsites without having to add a forward declaration.

We are motivated to avoid using a bitfield for obj->active for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we wish to document our lockless read of obj->active using READ_ONCE inside i915_gem_busy_ioctl() and that requires an integral type (i.e. not a bitfield). Secondly, gcc produces abysmal code when presented with a bitfield and that shows up high on the profiles of request tracking (mainly due to excess memory traffic as it converts the bitfield to a register and back and generates frequent AGI in the process). v2: BIT, break up a long line in compute the other engines, new paint for i915_gem_object_is_active (now i915_gem_object_get_active).

Rather than a mismash of struct drm_device *dev and struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv being used freely within a function, be consistent and only pass along dev_priv.

The individual bits inside obj->frontbuffer_bits are protected by each plane->mutex, but the whole bitfield may be accessed by multiple KMS operations simultaneously and so the RMW need to be under atomics. However, for updating the single field we do not need to mandate that it be under the struct_mutex, one more step towards its removal as the de facto BKL.
