As mentioned in my reply to the cover letter, I think the i915
implementation is the right one. At least the semantics of it.

Granted it is a super set of the minimum required as documented by
drm-usage-stats.rst - not only 1:1 to current instances of struct file, but
also avoids immediate id recycling.

Former could perhaps be achieved with a simple pointer hash, but latter
helps userspace detect when a client has exited and id re-allocated to a new
client within a single scanning period.

Without this I don't think userspace can implement a fail safe method of
detecting which clients are new ones and so wouldn't be able to track
history correctly.

I think we should rather extend the documented contract to include the
cyclical property than settle for a weaker common implementation.

atomic64_t never wraps, so you don't have any recycling issues?

Okay yes, with 64 bits there aren't any practical recycling issues.

The other piece and imo much more important is that I really don't want
the i915_drm_client design to spread, it conceptually makes no sense.
drm_file is the uapi object, once that's gone userspace will never be able
to look at anything, having a separate free-standing object that's
essentially always dead is backwards.

I went a bit more in-depth in a different thread on scheduler fd_info
stats, but essentially fd_info needs to pull stats, you should never push
stats towards the drm_file (or i915_drm_client). That avoids all the
refcounting issues and rcu needs and everything else like that.

Maybe you want to jump into that thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/CAKMK7uE=m3sSTQrLCeDg0vG8viODOecUsYDK1oC++f5pQi0e8Q@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

So retiring i915_drm_client infrastructure is the right direction I think.

Hmmm.. it is a _mostly_ pull model that we have in i915 ie. data is pulled on fdinfo queries.

_Mostly_ because it cannot be fully pull based when you look at some internal flows. We have to save some data at runtime at times not driven by the fdinfo queries.

For instance context close needs to record the GPU utilisation against the client so that it is not lost. Also in the execlists backend we must transfer the hardware tracked runtime into the software state when hw contexts are switched out.

The fact i915_drm_client is detached from file_priv is a consequence of the fact i915 GEM contexts can outlive drm_file, and that when such contexts are closed, we need a to record their runtimes.

So I think there are three options: how it is now, fully krefed drm_file, or prohibit persistent contexts. Last one don't think we can do due ABI and 2nd felt heavy handed so I choose a lightweight i915_drm_client option.

Maybe there is a fourth option of somehow detecting during context destruction that drm_file is gone and skip the runtime recording, but avoiding races and all did not make me want to entertain it much. Is this actually what you are proposing?
