[Patch v2] Add uAPI to query microcontroller fw version

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

 



Due to a bug in GuC firmware, Mesa can't enable by default the usage of 
async compute engines feature in DG2 and newer. A new GuC firmware fixed the issue but 
until now there was no way for Mesa to know if KMD was running with the fixed GuC version or not,
so this uAPI is required.

More context on the issue:
Vulkan allows applications to create types of queues: graphics, compute and copy.
Today Intel Vulkan driver uses Render engine to implement all those 3 queues types.

There is a set of operations that a queue type is required to implement, 
DG2 compute engine have almost all the operations required by compute queue but still lacks some.
So the solution is to send those operations not supported by compute engine to render engine 
and do some synchronization around it. But doing so causes the GuC scheduler to get stuck 
around the synchronization, until KMD resets the engine and ban the application context.
This issue was root caused to a GuC firmware issue and was fixed in newer version.

So Mesa can't enable the "async compute" without knowing for sure that KMD is running 
with a GuC version that has the scheduler fix. Same will happen when Mesa start to use 
copy engine.

This uAPI  may be expanded in future to query other firmware versions too.

v2:
- incorporated feedback from Tvrtko Ursulin:
  - updated patch description to clarify the use case that identified
    this issue.
  - updated query_uc_fw_version() to use copy_query_item() helper.
  - updated the implemented GuC version query to return Submission
    version.
