Patch #5: NAK, that will break radeon.
On radeon we need the non-default wait or otherwise we can run into a
situation where we never signal a fence.
The general question is why do you need this?
Because i915 sets a non-default wait function so calling wait_any just
bails with fences from i915 immediately bails with -EINVAL. This makes
it work even with non-default waits.
Ok well, let me refine the question: Why does i915 sets a non-default
wait function?
I have no idea.
Can you figure that out? I'm not completely against removing that
limitation, but it would be a lot cleaner if we can just fix i915 to not
set a non-default wait function.
In radeon we have it because we need to handle 10+ years of different
hardware generation, each which a bunch of separate bugs in their fence
handling (and some even not solved by today).
So how does wait_any returning -EINVAL for non-default waits help radeon?
When the wait function detects a problem it reports -EDEADLK to the
caller to signal that the hardware is stuck.
The Caller then goes up the call chain and ultimately reports this to
the IOCTL where the error is handled with a hardware reset. And yeah, I
perfectly know that this design sucks badly.
The point is we should try to prevent that the wait for any function is
even used together with a radeon fence.
Patch #6: Yes, please. Patch is Reviewed-by: Christian König
<christian.koenig@xxxxxxx>.
Patch #7: Already gave my rb on the patch Chris send out earlier.
Patch #8: NAK to the whole approach.
IIRC we discussed a very similar thing during the initial fence
bringup
and also during the fence_array development.
The problem is that you can easily build ring dependencies and so
deadlocks with it.
I would really prefer an approach which is completely contained inside
the syncobj code base.
Are you use to the approach of internally making a proxy so long as
all the proxy code is inside syncobj?
Yes, that would be a start.
In general if possible I would rather like to avoid the whole handling
with the proxy/callback altogether, but that possible only works with
wait for any if the waitqueue is global and that wouldn't be ideal
either.
I'm happy to get rid of the proxies. They did work nicely but I'm not
really attached to them
Is also be happy to go back to the original approach with v3 of the
last patch.
v3 looked like it should work as well, I would just drop abusing the
fence callback structure for the signaling.
Ideally we would finally come up with an interface to wait for multiple
waitqueue at the same time, but that probably goes a bit to far.
For now just use a single linked list to start all processes waiting for
a fence to arrive or something like this.
I don't really know what you're suggesting. Patch v3 has a single
waitqueue per process. Are you suggesting one per fence?
Yeah, more or less. What I'm suggesting is to use one wait_queue_head_t
per drm_syncobj.
See a wait_queue is a callback mechanism anyway, so you are wrapping a
callback mechanism inside another callback mechanism and that makes not
really much sense.
The problem is that we don't have a wait_event_* variant which can wait
for multiple events. Somebody should really add something like that :)

This series does the same thing as my earlier series in that it adds
a sync
object wait interface complete with WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT flag. While the
uapi
remains unchanged, the guts look a bit different. Instead of
adding a
callback mechanism to drm_syncobj that fired whenever
replace_fence was
called, it's now using proxy fences. The drm_syncobj_fence_get still
returns NULL whenever the sync object is in an unsubmitted state but
there
is a new drm_syncobj_fence_proxy_get which returns either the real
fence or
a proxy fence that will be triggered the next time replace_fence is
called
with a non-NULL replacement. This does make both
drm_syncobj_fence_get and
drm_syncobj_replace_fence a tiny bit more expensive, but it lets us
do it
all without locking.
