Re: [PATCH 1/2] [WIP]drm/ttm: add waiter list to prevent allocation not in order

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I know, but this has the same effect. You prevent concurrent allocation from happening.

What we could do is to pipeline reusing of deleted memory as well, this makes it less likely to cause the problem you are seeing because the evicting processes doesn't need to block for deleted BOs any more.

But that other processes can grab memory during eviction is intentional. Otherwise greedy processes would completely dominate command submission.

Christian.

I don't want to prevent all, my new approach is to prevent the later allocation is trying and ahead of front to get the memory space that the front made from eviction.

Yes, exactly that's the problem.

See when you want to prevent a process B from allocating the memory process A has evicted, you need to prevent all concurrent allocation.

And we don't do that because it causes a major performance drop.

You patch will prevent concurrent allocation, and will result in allocation performance drop much.

Attached is what you actually want to do cleanly implemented. But as I said this is a NO-GO.

Yeah, but again. This is indented design we can't change easily.

I am off work, so reply mail by phone, the format could not be text.

back to topic itself:
the problem indeed happen on amdgpu driver, someone reports me that application runs with two instances, the performance are different.
I also reproduced the issue with unit test(bo_eviction_test). They always think our scheduler isn't working as expected.

After my investigation, this issue should be detect of TTM design self, which breaks scheduling balance.

Further, if we run containers for our gpu, container A could run high score, container B runs low score with same benchmark.

So this is bug that we need fix.

Again NAK to the whole approach.

At least with amdgpu the problem you described above never occurs
because evictions are pipelined operations. We could only block for
deleted regions to become free.

But independent of that incoming memory requests while we make room for
eviction are intended to be served first.

Changing that is certainly a no-go cause that would favor memory hungry
applications over small clients.

Christian.
