Dave, Daniel, Take 2 of the coherent memory patches are now ready for pulling. Following the discussion we had after the last merge attempt that had to be reverted, it might make sense to send this to Linus as a pull request separate from other DRM stuff. This time Linus has been heavily involved in the outcome of the -mm patches, and Andrew Morton has acked them for merging through DRM: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191105195114.f75be5e76763da5546121b41@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ If you think it's too late for the 5.5 merge window, deferring to 5.6 is not a problem. There is a dependency on drm-misc: This needs to be merged after drm-misc caa478af4812, to avoid a compilation error. Cover message: Graphics APIs like OpenGL 4.4 and Vulkan require the graphics driver to provide coherent graphics memory, meaning that the GPU sees any content written to the coherent memory on the next GPU operation that touches that memory, and the CPU sees any content written by the GPU to that memory immediately after any fence object trailing the GPU operation is signaled. Paravirtual drivers that otherwise require explicit synchronization needs to do this by hooking up dirty tracking to pagefault handlers and buffer object validation. Provide mm helpers needed for this and that also allow for huge pmd- and pud entries (patch 1-3), and the associated vmwgfx code (patch 4-7). The code has been tested and exercised by a tailored version of mesa where we disable all explicit synchronization and assume graphics memory is coherent. The performance loss varies of course; a typical number is around 5%.
