[PATCH v4 0/3] improve handling of the driver's default (kernel) context

[PATCH v4 0/3] improve handling of the driver's default (kernel) context

[Dave Gordon]

During startup, the driver creates a unique "intel_context" that will
provide a home for orphan requests (i.e. those generated by the driver
internally, not associated with user batchbuffers).

However, one of the infelicities of the current code is that the driver
keeps a per-engine pointer to the default context for that engine (this
is probably from a decision made early in execlists implementation,
when it was thought that a context was engine-specific, and not revised
when it was decided that an "intel_context" represents a multiplex of
engine-level contexts). All these per-engine pointers actually end up
pointing to the same unique object.

To compound this, the refcounting is bogus; the driver holds just one
reference to the default context, even though there are multiple pointers
to it (RCS is considered to hold this "on behalf of" the other engines,
but this can lead to problems during unload as it makes the code sensitive
to the order of engine teardown -- RCS should be done last, but it isn't).

Also, some of the execlists batch submission code treats the default
context differently from any other; testing for it by comparing against
the per-engine pointer is quite clumsy, especially in debugfs where
contexts are enumerated from a global list and therefore not automatically
known to be associated with a particular engine.

Therefore, we should replace the per-engine pointers with a single
driver-wide reference, which will make the refcounting sane and simplify
the code that uses this context for non-user-related requests.

THIS patchset does NOT address the execlists code's special handling of
the default context, but it will simplify the planned future cleanup of
that code.

v3: don't flag the context created during startup (and fully instantiated
on all engines) for driver-internal purposes as "is_global_default",
1448630935-27377-1-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk notwithstanding.
(We now call it "the kernel context", and compare against the device-wide
pointer).  [Chris Wilson] 

v4: Rebased

[PATCH v4 1/3] drm/i915: simplify allocation of driver-internal requests

[Dave Gordon]

There are a number of places where the driver needs a request, but isn't
working on behalf of any specific user or in a specific context. At
present, we associate them with the per-engine default context. A future
patch will abolish those per-engine context pointers; but we can already
eliminate a lot of the references to them, just by making the allocator
allow NULL as a shorthand for "an appropriate context for this ring",
which will mean that the callers don't need to know anything about how
the "appropriate context" is found (e.g. per-ring vs per-device, etc).

So this patch renames the existing i915_gem_request_alloc(), and makes
it local (static inline), and replaces it with a wrapper that provides
a default if the context is NULL, and also has a nicer calling
convention (doesn't require a pointer to an output parameter). Then we
change all callers to use the new convention:
OLD:
	err = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, user_ctx, &req);
	if (err) ...
NEW:
	req = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, user_ctx);
	if (IS_ERR(req)) ...
OLD:
	err = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, ring->default_context, &req);
	if (err) ...
NEW:
	req = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, NULL);
	if (IS_ERR(req)) ...

v4:	Rebased

[PATCH v4 2/3] drm/i915: abolish separate per-ring default_context pointers

[Dave Gordon]

Now that we've eliminated a lot of uses of ring->default_context,
we can eliminate the pointer itself.

All the engines share the same default intel_context, so we can just
keep a single reference to it in the dev_priv structure rather than one
in each of the engine[] elements. This make refcounting more sensible
too, as we now have a refcount of one for the one pointer, rather than
a refcount of one but multiple pointers.

From an idea by Chris Wilson.

v2:	transform an extra instance of ring->default_context introduced by
    42f1cae8c drm/i915: Restore inhibiting the load of the default context
    That patch's commentary includes:
	v2: Mark the global default context as uninitialized on GPU reset so
	    that the context-local workarounds are reloaded upon re-enabling
    The code implementing that now also benefits from the replacement of
    the multiple (per-ring) pointers to the default context with a single
    pointer to the unique kernel context.

v4:	Rebased, remove underused local (Nick Hoath)

[PATCH v4 3/3] drm/i915: tidy up a few leftovers

[Dave Gordon]

There are a few bits of code which the transformations implemented by
the previous patch reveal to be suboptimal, once the notion of a per-
ring default context has gone away. So this tidies up the leftovers.

It could have been squashed into the previous patch, but that would have
made that patch less clearly a simple transformation. In particular, any
change which alters the code block structure or indentation has been
deferred into this separate patch, because such things tend to make
diffs more difficult to read.

v4:	Rebased

Wasn't following the discussion in detail but there was always big 
resistance towards API which takes NULLs inferring some default state. 
At least in some of my past work that was an repeated objection. Maybe a 
way around it would be to have two functions, like:

i915_gem_request_alloc(ring); // default context
i915_gem_request_alloc_ctx(ring, ctx); // user context

?

There is only one piece of code where we even want to use a default
kernel context, so it makes no sense from that point of view.
Imho, knowing the context is paramount to achieving context separation
in GEM - which we are far from achieving yet.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93787
"[BAT ILK] sporadic fifo underruns"

The two 'dmesg-warn' -> PASS changes are similar cases where the 
underrun just happened to occur in the reference run and not in this 
patch test.

Also compare Bug 93640 - [BAT ILK SNB IVB bisected] Fifo underruns since 
CI_DRM_952

I'd consider marking these tests as UNSTABLE on ILK for now.

(Although, this was against CI_DRM_987, and it looks like maybe it's 
fixed after CI_DRM_989, at least on ILK).

It's jumping around all over right now, which is why we can't really mark
it as unstable. I thought this was just fallout from Matt breaking
watermarks on ilk-ivb, but reverting that patch uncovered that we have
some other fifo underruns still (or again, was 2 weeks without coverage
due to Matt's regression) happening. I'm looking into this, if I can coax
my ilk into coperation.

.. to here, where req is an ERR_PTR and you call i915_gem_request_cancel

[PATCH] Fix pointer tests in error-handling paths

[Dave Gordon]

In the error-handling paths of i915_gem_do_execbuffer() and
intel_crtc_page_flip(), the local pointer-to-request variables
were expected to be either valid pointers or NULL. Since

  2682708 drm/i915: simplify allocation of driver-internal requests

they could also be ERR_PTR() values, so the tests need to be
updated to accommodate this case.

gem_close_race did it for me, but can you explain the weird ERR_PTR of 
*ffca ? :)

-54

That's odd. gem_close_race should be a mix of ENOENT, EINVAL iirc.

I think it'll treat this one as a replacement for patch 1/4 and then ofc
totally fall over. So would need a resend of the entire pile.

The rest of the pile has been merged already so I think just this patch 
on its own then (not as in-reply-to anything).

Assuming that's the fault address, it will actually be the sum of the 
errno mistakenly passed to i915_gem_request_cancel(), plus the offset of 
'ringbuf' in the drm_i915_gem_request structure:

void i915_gem_request_cancel(struct drm_i915_gem_request *req)
{
         intel_ring_reserved_space_cancel(req->ringbuf);

         i915_gem_request_unreference(req);
}

As it happens, 'ringbuf' is at offset 0x38 (56), so the errno was -2,
which is the expected error -ENOENT :)

.Dave.

The testcase you mentioned doesn't work, it crashes on my machine instead of running to completion or triggering the bug.

gem_ringfill.default-interruptible seems to trigger it.

It worked for me but I think I was running with GuC enabled at the time 
so that might be the differenct.

gem_close_race in general worked for me just yesterday.
