I understand this discussion from closes source driver terminology.

 

If a process is killed before it sends out the signaling command, will some part of the GPU be in a waiting situation forever?


Yes, exactly that's the problem here and the reason why that even Microsoft forbids that under windows.

To be clear, we are only discussing wait-before-submit for client CPU waits.  The GPU will not be waiting, only some userspace process.  If that process is a compositor, it should take measures to avoid getting hung up by bad clients.  What this will *not* cause is the GPU (or kernel GPU scheduling) to get hung up on waiting for some unsubmitted thing.

This interface will allow sync object to be used to back
Vulkan fences. This API is pretty much the vulkan fence waiting
API, and I've ported the code from amdgpu.

v2: accept relative timeout, pass remaining time back
to userspace.
v3: return to absolute timeouts.
v4: absolute zero = poll,
    rewrite any/all code to have same operation for arrays
    return -EINVAL for 0 fences.
v4.1: fixup fences allocation check, use u64_to_user_ptr
v5: move to sec/nsec, and use timespec64 for calcs.
v6: use -ETIME and drop the out status flag. (-ETIME
is suggested by ickle, I can feel a shed painting)

So, reading some CTS tests again, and I think we have a problem here.  The Vulkan spec allows you to wait on a fence that is in the unsignaled state.

 

At least on the closed source driver that would be illegal as far as I know.

 

 

You can't wait on a semaphore before the signal operation is send down to the kerel.

 

We (Intel) deal with this today by tracking whether or not the fence has been submitted and using a condition variable in userspace to sort it all out.  If we ever want to share fences across processes (which we do), then this needs to be sorted in the kernel.

Christian.




  In theory, you could have thread A start waiting on a fence before thread B submits the work which triggers that fence.  This means that the dma_fence may not exist yet when vkWaitForFences gets called.  If we really want to support the full Vulkan usage, we need to somehow support missing dma_fences by waiting for the dma_fence to show up.  Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the internal kernel APIs to know what that would look like.
