Since we can retire requests from multiple paths, we cannot assume that
i915_gem_retire_requests() is the sole path on which we can transition
to gt.active_requests == 0. A consequence of this is that we would skip
the function if we had already retired all the requests and not
scheduled the idle worker.
This is fallout from changing the routine from considering active_engines
(for which it was the only consumer) to active_requests.
v2: Move kicking the idle working to i915_gem_request_retire() otherwise
we could postpone the idle callback everytime we called retire_requests
even though we did no work.

Track the priority of each request and use it to determine the order in
which we submit requests to the hardware via execlists.
The priority of the request is determined by the user (eventually via
the context) but may be overridden at any time by the driver. When we set
the priority of the request, we bump the priority of all of its
dependencies to match - so that a high priority drawing operation is not
stuck behind a background task.
When the request is ready to execute (i.e. we have signaled the submit
fence following completion of all its dependencies, including third
party fences), we put the request into a priority sorted rbtree to be
submitted to the hardware. If the request is higher priority than all
pending requests, it will be submitted on the next context-switch
interrupt as soon as the hardware has completed the current request. We
do not currently preempt any current execution to immediately run a very
high priority request, at least not yet.
One more limitation, is that this is first implementation is for

The scheduler needs to know the dependencies of each request for the
lifetime of the request, as it may choose to reschedule the requests at
any time and must ensure the dependency tree is not broken. This is in
additional to using the fence to only allow execution after all
dependencies have been completed.
One option was to extend the fence to support the bidirectional
dependency tracking required by the scheduler. However the mismatch in
lifetimes between the submit fence and the request essentially meant
that we had to build a completely separate struct (and we could not
simply reuse the existing waitqueue in the fence for one half of the
dependency tracking). The extra dependency tracking simply did not mesh
well with the fence, and keeping it separate both keeps the fence
implementation simpler and allows us to extend the dependency tracking
into a priority tree (whilst maintaining support for reordering the
tree).
To avoid the additional allocations and list manipulations, the use of
the priotree is disabled when there are no schedulers to use it.

In preparation to support many distinct timelines, we need to expand the
activity tracking on the GEM object to handle more than just a request
per engine. We already use the struct reservation_object on the dma-buf
to handle many fence contexts, so integrating that into the GEM object
itself is the preferred solution. (For example, we can now share the same
reservation_object between every consumer/producer using this buffer and
skip the manual import/export via dma-buf.)
v2: Reimplement busy-ioctl (by walking the reservation object), postpone
the ABI change for another day. Similarly use the reservation object to
find the last_write request (if active and from i915) for choosing
display CS flips.
Caveats:
* busy-ioctl: busy-ioctl only reports on the native fences, it will not
warn of stalls (in set-domain-ioctl, pread/pwrite etc) if the object is
being rendered to by external fences. It also will not report the same
busy state as wait-ioctl (or polling on the dma-buf) in the same
circumstances. On the plus side, it does retain reporting of which
*i915* engines are engaged with this object.
* non-blocking atomic modesets take a step backwards as the wait for
render completion blocks the ioctl. This is fixed in a subsequent
patch to use a fence instead for awaiting on the rendering, see
"drm/i915: Restore nonblocking awaits for modesetting"
* dynamic array manipulation for shared-fences in reservation is slower
than the previous lockless static assignment (e.g. gem_exec_lut_handle
runtime on ivb goes from 42s to 66s), mainly due to atomic operations
(maintaining the fence refcounts).
* loss of object-level retirement callbacks, emulated by VMA retirement
tracking.

form i915_wait_request as that breaks delicate operations like

the mixing of the reset state from the global reset counter.
The loss of atomicity in updating the reset state poses a small problem
for handling the waiters. For requests, this is solved by advancing the
seqno so that a waiter waking up after the reset knows the request is
complete. For pending flips, we still rely on the increment of the
global reset epoch (as well as the reset-in-progress flag) to signify
when the hardware was reset.
The advantage, now that we do not inspect the reset state during reset

will become more clear in the next patch.
In the engine reset case we want to resume where we left-off after skipping
the incomplete batch which requires checking the elsp queue, removing
element and fixing elsp_submitted counts in some cases. Instead of directly
manipulating the elsp queue from reset path we can examine these ports, fix
up ringbuffer pointers using the incomplete request and restart submissions
again after reset.

Rather than walk the full array of engines checking whether each is in
the mask in turn, we can use the mask to jump to the right engines. This
should quicker for a sparse array of engines or mask, whilst generating
smaller code:
text data bss dec hex filename
1251010 4579 800 1256389 132bc5 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
1250530 4579 800 1255909 1329e5 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
The downside is that we have to pass in a temporary, alas no C99
iterators yet.
[P.S. Joonas doesn't like having to pass extra temporaries into the
macro, and even less that I called them tmp. As yet, we haven't found a
macro that avoids passing in a temporary that is smaller. We probably
will get C99 iterators first!]

As we know by inspection whether any engine is still busy as we retire
all the requests, we can pass that information back via return value
rather than check again afterwards.

Since contexts are not currently shared between userspace processes, we
have an exact correspondence between context creator and guilty batch
submitter. Therefore we can save some per-batch work by inspecting the
context->pid upon error instead. Note that we take the context's
creator's pid rather than the file's pid in order to better track fd
passed over sockets.

Treat the VMA as the primary struct responsible for tracking bindings
into the GPU's VM. That is we want to treat the VMA returned after we
pin an object into the VM as the cookie we hold and eventually release
when unpinning. Doing so eliminates the ambiguity in pinning the object
and then searching for the relevant pin later.

request->batch_obj is only set by execbuffer for the convenience of
debugging hangs. By moving that operation to the callsite, we can
simplify all other callers and future patches. We also move the
complications of reference handling of the request->batch_obj next to
where the active tracking is set up for the request.

When using RCU lookup for the request, commit 0eafec6d32 ("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

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.

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.
