Hi Amber,
Some general remarks about the multi-client support. You added a global client id that's separate from the file descriptor. That's problematic for two reasons:
- A process could change a different process' event mask
- The FD should already be unique per process, no need to invent another ID
If we want to allow one process to register for events multiple times (multiple FDs per process), then the list of clients should be per process. Each process should only be allowed to change the event masks of its own clients. The client could be identified by its FD. No need for another client ID.
But you could also simplify it further by allowing only one event client per process. Then you don't need the client ID lookup at all. Just have a single event client in the kfd_process.
Another approach would be to make enable/disable functions of the
event FD, rather than the KFD FD ioctl. It could be an ioctl of
the event FD, or even simpler, you could use the write
file-operation to write an event mask (of arbitrary length if you
want to enable growth in the future). That way everything would be
neatly encapsulated in the event FD private data.
Two more comments inline ...
When the compute is malfunctioning or performance drops, the system admin will use SMI (System Management Interface) tool to monitor/diagnostic what went wrong. This patch provides an event watch interface for the user space to register devices and subscribe events they are interested. After registered, the user can use annoymous file descriptor's poll function with wait-time specified and wait for events to happen. Once an event happens, the user can use read() to retrieve information related to the event. VM fault event is done in this patch. v2: - remove UNREGISTER and add event ENABLE/DISABLE - correct kfifo usage - move event message API to kfd_ioctl.h v3: send the event msg in text than in binary v4: support multiple clients Signed-off-by: Amber Lin <Amber.Lin@xxxxxxx>

The binary layout of the ioctl args structure should be the same
on 32/64-bit. That means the 64-bit members should be 64-bit
aligned. The best way to ensure this is to put all the 64-bit
members first.

If you define the maximum message length here, clients may start
depending on it, and it gets harder to change it later. I'd not
define this in the API header. It's not necessary to write correct
clients. And if used badly, it may encourage writing incorrect
clients that break with longer messages in the future.

Felix
