maybe soften that a bit. Reading from the shared memory of the user fence is ok for everybody. What we need to take more care of is the writing side.

So my current thinking is that we allow read only access, but writing a new sequence value needs to go through the scheduler/kernel.

So when the CPU wants to signal a timeline fence it needs to call an IOCTL. When the GPU wants to signal the timeline fence it needs to hand that of to the hardware scheduler.

If we lockup the kernel can check with the hardware who did the last write and what value was written.

That together with an IOCTL to give out sequence number for implicit sync to applications should be sufficient for the kernel to track who is responsible if something bad happens.

In other words when the hardware says that the shader wrote stuff like 0xdeadbeef 0x0 or 0xffffffff into memory we kill the process who did that.

If the hardware says that seq - 1 was written fine, but seq is missing then the kernel blames whoever was supposed to write seq.

Hi Daniel,

We just talked about this whole topic internally and we came up to the conclusion that the hardware needs to understand sync object handles and have high-level wait and signal operations in the command stream. Sync objects will be backed by memory, but they won't be readable or writable by processes directly. The hardware will log all accesses to sync objects and will send the log to the kernel periodically. The kernel will identify malicious behavior.

Example of a hardware command stream:
...
ImplicitSyncWait(syncObjHandle, sequenceNumber); // the sequence number is assigned by the kernel
Draw();
ImplicitSyncSignalWhenDone(syncObjHandle);
...

I'm afraid we have no other choice because of the TLB invalidation overhead.

Marek

Ah makes sense. On intel the shaders only operate in VA, everything goes
around as explicit async messages to IO blocks. So we don't have this, the
only difference in tlb flushes is between tlb flush in the IB and an mmio
one which is independent for anything currently being executed on an
egine.
