This could potentially be squashed with patch 15, as it doesn't make much sense to add a TODO there and solve it here. We might also want to update the comment above intel_lr_context_descriptor_update to remove the implication that SW context ID == ctx->hw_id (which is still technically true after this patch but we're preparing for it not to be anymore).


I was actually thinking of a different fate for this patch: leave patch 15 as is (maybe make the TODO more open, like "TODO: decide what to do with sw_counter"), slap a "drm/i915/icl/guc" prefix on this one and consider it together with the rest of the GuC patches. At least in the meantime, while  we decide how to go about sw_counter (CCing Tvrtko). What do you think?

Thanks,
Daniele

The new context descriptor format in Gen11 contains two assignable fields: the SW Context ID (technically 11 bits, but practically limited to 2032 entries due to some being reserved for future use by the GuC) and the SW Counter (6 bits).

We don't want to limit ourselves too much in the maximum number of concurrent contexts we want to allow, so ideally we want to employ every possible bit available. Unfortunately, a further limitation in the interface with the GuC means the combination of SW Context ID + SW Counter has to be unique within the
same engine class (as we use the SW Context ID to index in the GuC stage
descriptor pool, and the Engine Class + SW Counter to index in the 2-dimensional lrc array). This essentially means we need to somehow encode the engine instance.

Since the BSpec allows 6 bits for engine instance, we use the whole SW counter for this task. If the limitation of 2032 maximum simultaneous contexts is too restrictive, we can always squeeze things a bit more (3 extras bits for hw_id, 3 bits for instance) and things will still work (Gen11 does not instance more
than 8 engines of any class).

Another alternative would be to generate the hw_id per HW context instead of per GEM context, but that has other problems (e.g. maximum number of user-created contexts would be variable, no relationship between a GuC principal descriptor
and the proxy descriptor it uses, etc...).

Bspec: 12254

v2:
   - Squashed with parts of "Interface changes for GuC fw 22.108" (Daniele)    - Do not apply the 16 reserved entries limitation to the non-GuC path (Joonas)
v3: Rebased by Rodrigo.
v4: Rebased (s/i915_modparams.enable_guc_submission/USES_GUC_SUBMISSION(dev_priv))
