Understood... but my recollection was that the priority settings were global rather than per-context or per-VMID. If I am remembering wrong and they can be set for just one process then that makes things easier at least for prototyping. We still wouldn't have a production-able solution even then (we can't set defaults for non-HSA processes that make OpenCL apps hang even if we are doing it for the good of VR) unless we allowed apps to set their own relative priorities, although maybe giving processes the ability to muck up their own interactivity (start a transcode, display stops responding) might be acceptable.

I do think we will need to get to setting priorities at HW level fairly quickly (we want it for ROCM as well as for VR) but we'll need to eliminate the current requirement for randomization at SQ as part of a HW approach and I don't think we know how long that will take at the moment. IIRC randomization was required to avoid deadlock problems with certain OpenCL programs - what I don't know is whether the problem is inherent to the OpenCL API spec or just a function of how specific OpenCL programs were written. I'll try to dig up some history for that and ask around internally as well.

One thing I'd like to correct is that our main goal is to get latency _predictable_, secondary goal is to make it low. The high priority queue feature addresses our main source of unpredictability: the scheduling latency when the hardware is already full of work from the game engine. The DirectMode feature addresses one of the latency sources: multiple (unnecessary) context switches to submit a surface to the DRM driver. Targeting something like Wayland and when you need X compatibility XWayland sounds like the much better idea. We are pretty enthusiastic about Wayland (and really glad to see Fedora 25 use Wayland by default). Once we have everything working nicely under X (where most of the users are currently), I'm sure Pierre-Loup will be pushing us to get everything optimized under Wayland as well (which should be a lot simpler!).

For a long term approach, Pierre-Loup and Dave are working on dealing with the "two compositors" scenario a little better in DRM+X. Fullscreen isn't really a sufficient approach, since we don't want the HMD to be used as part of the Desktop environment when a VR app is not in use (this is extremely annoying). When the above is settled, we should have an auth mechanism besides DRM_MASTER or DRM_AUTH that allows the vrcompositor to take over the HMD permanently away from X. Re-using that auth method to gate this IOCTL is probably going to be the final solution. I propose to start with ROOT_ONLY since it should allow us to respect kernel IOCTL compatibility guidelines with the most flexibility.

I would think that there is need to avoid overcomit in VR case to prevent any BO migration. You're entirely correct; currently the VR runtime is setting up prioritized CPU scheduling for its VR compositor, we're working on prioritized GPU scheduling and pre-emption (eg. this thread), and in the future it will make sense to do work in order to make sure that its memory allocations do not get evicted, to prevent any unwelcome additional latency in the event of needing to perform just-in-time reprojection. BTW: Do you mean __real__ processes or threads? Based on my understanding sharing BOs between different processes could introduce additional synchronization constrains. btw: I am not sure if we are able to share Vulkan sync. object cross-process boundary. They are different processes; it is important for the compositor that is responsible for quality-of-service features such as consistently presenting distorted frames with the right latency, reprojection, etc, to be separate from the main application. Currently we are using unreleased cross-process memory and semaphore extensions to fetch updated eye images from the client application, but the just-in-time reprojection discussed here does not actually have any direct interactions with cross-process resource sharing, since it's achieved by using whatever is the latest, most up-to-date eye images that have already been sent by the client application, which are already available to use without additional synchronization. 3) System compositor (we are looking at approaches to remove this overhead) Yes, IMHO the best is to run in "full screen mode". Yes, we are working on mechanisms to present directly to the headset display without any intermediaries as a separate effort. The latency is our main concern, I would assume that this is the known problem (at least for compute usage). It looks like that amdgpu / kernel submission is rather CPU intensive (at least in the default configuration). As long as it's a consistent cost, it shouldn't an issue. However, if there's high degrees of variance then that would be troublesome and we would need to account for the worst case.

For current VR workloads we have 3 separate processes running actually: 1) Game process 2) VR Compositor (this is the process that will require high priority queue) 3) System compositor (we are looking at approaches to remove this overhead) For now I think it is okay to assume no OpenCL/ROCm running simultaneously, but I would also like to be able to address this case in the future (cross-pipe priorities).

Otherwise we could have scenario when long graphics task (or low-priority compute) will took all (extra) CUs and high--priority will wait for needed resources. It will not be visible on "NOP " but only when you submit "real" compute task so I would recommend not to use "NOP" packets at all for testing. It (CU assignment) could be relatively easy done when everything is going via kernel (e.g. as part of frame submission) but I must admit that I am not sure about the best way for user level submissions (amdkfd). [AR] I wasn't aware of this part of the programming sequence. Thanks for the heads up! Is this similar to the CU masking programming? [Serguei] Yes. To simplify: the problem is that "scheduler" when deciding which queue to run will check if there is enough resources and if not then it will begin to check other queues with lower priority. 2) I would recommend to dedicate the whole pipe to high-priority queue and have nothing their except it. [AR] I'm guessing in this context you mean pipe = queue? (as opposed to the MEC definition of pipe, which is a grouping of queues).

Brief context: -------------- The main objective of reprojection is to avoid motion sickness for VR users in scenarios where the game or application would fail to finish rendering a new frame in time for the next VBLANK. When this happens, the user's head movements are not reflected on the Head Mounted Display (HMD) for the duration of an extra frame. This extended mismatch between the inner ear and the eyes may cause the user to experience motion sickness. The VR compositor deals with this problem by fabricating a new frame using the user's updated head position in combination with the previous frames. This avoids a prolonged mismatch between the HMD output and the inner ear. Because of the adverse effects on the user, we require high confidence that the reprojection task will complete before the VBLANK interval. Even if the GFX pipe is currently full of work from the game/application (which is most likely the case). For more details and illustrations, please refer to the following document: https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2016/03/28/asynchronous-shaders-evolved Gaming: Asynchronous Shaders Evolved | Community community.amd.com One of the most exciting new developments in GPU technology over the past year has been the adoption of asynchronous shaders, which can make more efficient use of ...

Gaming: Asynchronous Shaders Evolved | Community community.amd.com One of the most exciting new developments in GPU technology over the past year has been the adoption of asynchronous shaders, which can make more efficient use of ... Requirements: ------------- The mechanism must expose the following functionaility: * Job round trip time must be predictable, from submission to fence signal * The mechanism must support compute workloads. Goals: ------ * The mechanism should provide low submission latencies Test: submitting a NOP packet through the mechanism on busy hardware should be equivalent to submitting a NOP on idle hardware. Nice to have: ------------- * The mechanism should also support GFX workloads. My understanding is that with the current hardware capabilities in Polaris10 we will not be able to provide a solution compatible with GFX worloads. But I would love to hear otherwise. So if anyone has an idea, approach or suggestion that will also be compatible with the GFX ring, please let us know about it. * The above guarantees should also be respected by amdkfd workloads Would be good to have for consistency, but not strictly necessary as users running games are not traditionally running HPC workloads in the background. Proposed approach: ------------------ Similar to the windows driver, we could expose a high priority compute queue to userspace. Submissions to this compute queue will be scheduled with high priority, and may acquire hardware resources previously in use by other queues. This can be achieved by taking advantage of the 'priority' field in the HQDs and could be programmed by amdgpu or the amdgpu scheduler. The relevant register fields are: * mmCP_HQD_PIPE_PRIORITY * mmCP_HQD_QUEUE_PRIORITY Implementation approach 1 - static partitioning: ------------------------------------------------ The amdgpu driver currently controls 8 compute queues from pipe0. We can statically partition these as follows: * 7x regular * 1x high priority The relevant priorities can be set so that submissions to the high priority ring will starve the other compute rings and the GFX ring. The amdgpu scheduler will only place jobs into the high priority rings if the context is marked as high priority. And a corresponding priority should be added to keep track of this information: * AMD_SCHED_PRIORITY_KERNEL * -> AMD_SCHED_PRIORITY_HIGH * AMD_SCHED_PRIORITY_NORMAL The user will request a high priority context by setting an appropriate flag in drm_amdgpu_ctx_in (AMDGPU_CTX_HIGH_PRIORITY or similar): https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/drm/amdgpu_drm.h#L163 The setting is in a per context level so that we can: * Maintain a consistent FIFO ordering of all submissions to a context * Create high priority and non-high priority contexts in the same process Implementation approach 2 - dynamic priority programming: --------------------------------------------------------- Similar to the above, but instead of programming the priorities and amdgpu_init() time, the SW scheduler will reprogram the queue priorities dynamically when scheduling a task. This would involve having a hardware specific callback from the scheduler to set the appropriate queue priority: set_priority(int ring, int index, int priority) During this callback we would have to grab the SRBM mutex to perform the appropriate HW programming, and I'm not really sure if that is something we should be doing from the scheduler. On the positive side, this approach would allow us to program a range of priorities for jobs instead of a single "high priority" value", achieving something similar to the niceness API available for CPU scheduling. I'm not sure if this flexibility is something that we would need for our use case, but it might be useful in other scenarios (multiple users sharing compute time on a server). This approach would require a new int field in drm_amdgpu_ctx_in, or repurposing of the flags field. Known current obstacles: ------------------------ The SQ is currently programmed to disregard the HQD priorities, and instead it picks jobs at random. Settings from the shader itself are also disregarded as this is considered a privileged field. Effectively we can get our compute wavefront launched ASAP, but we might not get the time we need on the SQ. The current programming would have to be changed to allow priority propagation from the HQD into the SQ. Generic approach for all HW IPs: -------------------------------- For consistency purposes, the high priority context can be enabled for all HW IPs with support of the SW scheduler. This will function similarly to the current AMD_SCHED_PRIORITY_KERNEL priority, where the job can jump ahead of anything not commited to the HW queue. The benefits of requesting a high priority context for a non-compute queue will be lesser (e.g. up to 10s of wait time if a GFX command is stuck in front of you), but having the API in place will allow us to easily improve the implementation in the future as new features become available in new hardware. Future steps: ------------- Once we have an approach settled, I can take care of the implementation. Also, once the interface is mostly decided, we can start thinking about exposing the high priority queue through radv. Request for feedback: --------------------- We aren't married to any of the approaches outlined above. Our goal is to obtain a mechanism that will allow us to complete the reprojection job within a predictable amount of time. So if anyone anyone has any suggestions for improvements or alternative strategies we are more than happy to hear them. If any of the technical information above is also incorrect, feel free to point out my misunderstandings. Looking forward to hearing from you.
