This series extends the I915_EXEC_FENCE_SUBMIT to syncobj; with the
primary motivation for this to allow userspace to schedule between
individual clients coordinating with semaphores. The advantage syncobj
have over sync-file is that since the syncobj is known a priori, it can
be used to pass the location of a not-yet-submitted fence. This is used
by iris in its deferred flush implementations where a fence is acquired
for an incomplete batch, and that future-fence may be used to
serlisation execution in another context. Since we already handle
'bonded execution' for media submission, we need only extend support to
syncobjs.
A simplified example of out-of-order execution that is required by iris:
struct drm_i915_gem_exec_object2 obj = {
.offset = 24 << 20,
.handle = future_submit_batch(i915, 24 << 20),
.flags = EXEC_OBJECT_PINNED,
};
struct drm_i915_gem_exec_fence fence = {
.handle = syncobj_create(i915, 0),
};
struct drm_i915_gem_execbuffer2 execbuf = {
.buffers_ptr = to_user_pointer(&obj),
.buffer_count = 1,
.cliprects_ptr = to_user_pointer(&fence),
.num_cliprects = 1,
.flags = engine | I915_EXEC_FENCE_ARRAY,
};
uint32_t result;
int out;
/*
* Here we submit client A waiting on client B, but internally client
* B has a semaphore that waits on client A. This relies on timeslicing
* to reorder B before A, even though userspace has asked to submit
* A & B simultaneously (and due to the sequence we will submit B
* then A).
