GTT is a driver private acronym, right? And it doesn't look like
TTM_PL_FLAG_TEMPORARY will be used in core TTM, so should we
instead set
aside a mask in the PL flag for driver-private use?
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your comments and advice, GTT means Graphics
Translation Table here, seems
a general acronym. TTM_PL_FLAG_TEMPORARY may also be used by other
drives.
I have made other patches for this. Please help review.

My point was really that the flag naming and documentation should
reflect what core ttm is doing with that flag. If there is no
specific core TTM usage, IMO we should move it to a driver specific
flag to avoid future confusion. In particular a writer of a generic
TTM resource manager should be able to know without looking at an
old commit message what the placement flag is intended for.
So here we add a flag where core TTM forces a bo move on validate
and that's it. And that appears to be how it's used when an amdgpu
bo is evicted to GTT, (btw should it be accounted in this situation?)
The other use is to force the amdgpu driver to temporarily accept
it into GTT when there is a lack of space, and IMHO that's a driver
specific use and we should allocate a mask for driver specific
flags for that.
So shouldn't this be two flags, really?
Well one flag makes sense for the use case at hand that drivers want
to signal to TTM that an allocation is only temporary and not
considered valid.
That we then use this flag to implement temporary GTT allocations to
avoid problems during eviction is just extending that use case.
OK, but it looked like there were actually two use-cases. One for
possibly long-term VRAM evictions to GTT, the other for the temporary
use-case where the hop resource allocations sometimes failed. Or did
I misunderstand the code?
Ok sounds like we need more documentation here. That's really one use
case.
Key point is we need temporary allocation during multihop which should
be handled differently to normal allocations.
Yes, that part is clear from the patches. The part that I can't fit into
that pattern is why the evict flags when evicting from visible VRAM to
GTT or ordinary VRAM is marked with TTM_PL_FLAG_TEMPORARY. Wouldn't
those remain evicted in that placement until re-validated to visible
VRAM at an unknown future time?
Patch 3/3:
amdgpu_bo_placement_from_domain(abo, AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_GTT);
abo->placements[0].flags |= TTM_PL_FLAG_TEMPORARY;
