I was thinking about this more recently. I was initially considering "maybe this should be a per-BO import," but I couldn't think of anything in the GL model that would actually benefit given its not "true" bindless and there's no update-after-bind there.
That's also an option and it's the way it works on i915. However, then you have to pass lists of things to the kernel and that's kinda gross. If we need it, we can do that. Otherwise, I think a more global thing is fine. I think Bas is currently investigating a per-submit approach which is a tad different from either but should also work okay.
Yeah, I'm working on a per-submit thing (also using BOOKKEEP fences instead of using the EXPLICIT wait mode to ensure we also don't add implicit fences).
Yeah agree. Your implementation with the per submission flag and using BOOKKEEP actually sounds like the right thing to do to me as well.
We need to keep in mind that synchronization goes in both ways, e.g. explicit->implicit as well as implicit->explicit.
I would rather like to keep the implicit->explicit handling (which this patch here completely disables) and only allow the explicit->implicit handling (which by using BOOKKEEP fences).
This way it is possible that we still over synchronize for example for a double buffered BO is re-used by an explicit client and implicit display server, but that's probably not something we should optimize in the first place.
This oversynchronization actually happens easily as in bindless Vulkan we have to mark all buffers as "used". We have some hacks to avoid the worst of it but it can be pretty meh.
In my series on the ML[1] I think I actually got both sides by waiting on KERNEL fences only and setting BOOKKEEP fences. (Yeah it actually ends up kinda orthogonal on the sync mode but it is what it is ...).

Regards,
Christian.
We do have a per-BO list on submission already, so we could add things there, it is just very annoying to implement as currently at the point we do fence wait/signal we lost the association with the BO list. Given that I don't see an use case anytime soon (there are some theoreticals like radeonsi might start doing READ usage instead of RW usage with extra tracking) I feel it isn't worth that added implementation complexity
Worth others more familiar with GL asking that question to themselves also. I am definitely not totally up on what's possible there.
Overall, I think I am OK with this approach, even though I think mixing implicit and explicit sync is gross, and I want the pain that is implicit sync to just go away forever. :-)
So say we all...
