With the introduction of ctx->engines[] we allow multiple logical
contexts to be used on the same engine (e.g. with virtual engines). Each
logical context requires a unique tag in order for context-switching to
occur correctly between them.

We only need to keep a unique tag for the active lifetime of the
context, and for as long as we need to identify that context. The HW
uses the tag to determine if it should use a lite-restore (why not the
LRCA?) and passes the tag back for various status identifies. The only
status we need to track is for OA, so when using perf, we assign the
specific context a unique tag.

Fixes: 976b55f0e1db ("drm/i915: Allow a context to define its set of engines")

Fixes? Why?

The above paragraph explains that as we give two distinct contexts the
same tag then it will only perform (according to bspec) a lite-restore.

Right I see. But not with virtual engines per se, but even if someone created an engine map with two same engines in it. Virtual engines are then a super set of this problem.

AFAICT this define now defines how deep ELSP we can have before we start
getting hard to debug problems. GuC angle needs considering here.

The guc is immaterial here, since they use their own mechanism. It just
needs to be a value larger than 2 * EXECLIST_MAX_PORTS and less then
BIT(10).

I don't know how GuC (will) work so hopefully Daniele can confirm or deny this won't be a problem there.

So hw id is valid only while context is in ELSP and it changes with
every submission except in the OA case?

Aye. OA being a pita.
Shifts and masks look dodgy. For >= gen11 the current code has the hw_id
in [37, 42], otherwise [32, 52]. This patch does not seem to handle the
differences between gens.

Because the values we supply do not matter (they are cookies), just the
lifetime.

Okay so you are choosing to not use some of the available bits since we don't need all 20 (pre gen11), or even 10 (gen11+). This definitely deserves a comment. And another assert with NUM_CONTEXT_TAG relating to available bits.

OA hunks looks dodgy as well. ce->tag is set to
stream->specific_ctx_id_mask while I think it should be id. Furthermore
id is assigned from mask which is fixed and not unique for different
contexts.

It is singular in the entire system. The mask is a guaranteed unique
value.

What is singular? The OA context and it's id? I assumed what needs to be done is fix hw_id for _all_ contexts while OA is sampling. But on a more detailed look this assumption does not seem to hold in code. Okay, I declare to not know how OA works well enough.

Unless I am missing something I see this patch as simplification and not
a fix. If we can get away with it in the GuC world then it's quite a big
simplification so it's fine by me.

Bspec says that for lrc_desc with matching tags (at least for gen8-gen11
I believe), it performs a lite restore (regardless of lrca). Ergo it is
quite a major fix.

Yes I see that now, my bad. This one will not lend itself well to backporting.. But I don't think there is a lighter-weight solution. Moving hw_id to intel_context would also end up large-ish I think. Because of the locking requirement etc.
