Previously we would never try to move a BO into the preferred

when it ever landed in a busy placement since those were considered
compatible.

Rework the whole handling and finally unify the idle and busy
handling.
ttm_bo_validate() is now responsible to try idle placement first and
then
use the busy placement if that didn't worked.

Drawback is that we now always try the idle placement first for each
validation which might cause some additional CPU overhead on
overcommit.




v2: fix kerneldoc warning and coding style
v3: take care of XE as well

This is what breaks xe's selftest since the evict-flags preferred
placement is never tried so it changes the behavior.

The xe evict flags were set up to "Try to evict to TT first, but if
that causes recursive eviction, try to evict to system". This here
ignores the preferred eviction placement.

So "Preferred" in effect changes meaning from "Don't try this if it
will cause an eviction", to "Don't try this in the evict path", which
is hard for the driver to have any knowledge about.

Then also it sounds from the commit message with this patch "Preferred"
also gets overloaded with "Always retry preferred on validate", but
shouldn't that really be a dynamic driver decision and not something
TTM should try to enforce in a static way? Drivers could have short-
circuited the ttm_bo_validate() call if it succeeded once, and have a
deeper thought about when to migrate from, say TT to VRAM and vice
versa.

For the specific behaviour sought here, there is (or at least used to
be) a construct in the vmwgfx driver that first called
ttm_bo_validate() with VRAM as preferred placement and no fallback. If
that failed due to VRAM being full, it called ttm_bo_validate() again,
this time with fallback and VRAM allowing eviction.

/Thomas

To conclude here, a suggestion would be,

1) Could we separate the semantics of the "Preferred" flag. Perhaps creating yet another one.
first flag: "Retry this placement even if bo is in a valid placement"
second flag: "Don't use this placement if it would cause an eviction" (Retain old semantics)

Although I think the first flag behaviour can be easily implemented with a driver specific xxx_bo_validate(), I'm not against having that in TTM as well.

2) Please keep the old behaviour of the eviction flags? Meaning even for eviction we have preferred and fallback placements. It comes in handy when pipelining (always evicting to SYSTEM requires syncing), and if opportunistically trying to evict to other VRAM memory types on multi-tile. I see no easy way to otherwise hook into TTM to implement that if the behaviour is changed as suggested.

Thanks,

Thomas
