Do you miss a file which adds spm_updated to vm structure?

Hi Jaco & Christian

 

As titled , check below patch:

 

commit 10790a09ea584cc832353a5c2a481012e5e31a13

Author: Jacob He <jacob.he@xxxxxxx>

Date:   Fri Feb 28 20:24:41 2020 +0800

 

    drm/amdgpu: Update SPM_VMID with the job's vmid when application reserves the vmid

 

    SPM access the video memory according to SPM_VMID. It should be updated

    with the job's vmid right before the job is scheduled. SPM_VMID is a

    global resource

this update_spm_vmid() looks an completely overkill to me, we only need to do it once for its VM …

 

in SRIOV the register reading/writing for update_spm_vmid() is now carried by KIQ thus there is too much burden on KIQ for such unnecessary jobs …

 

I want to change it to only do it once per VM, like:

        if (amdgpu_vmid_had_gpu_reset(adev, id)) {

                gds_switch_needed = true;

                vm_flush_needed = true;

 

what do you think ?

 

P.S.: the best way is to let GFX ring itself to do the update_spm_vmid() instead of let CPU doing it, e.g.: we put more PM4 command in VM-FLUSH packets ….

But I prefer the simple way first like I demonstrated above
