This is just making the [0 - sz) gva point to the allocated sz bytes of
backing store?

Not quite, we are pointing [offset, sz) to the page directories
themselves. When we write into that range, we are modifying the PTE of
this ppGTT. (Breaking the fourth wall, allowing the non-privileged
context to update its own page tables.)

Confusing, so first step is here making [0, sz) gva ptes point to pte
backing store.

Which means emit_pte when called from intel_context_migrate_pages is
emitting sdw which will write into [0, sz] gva, effectively placing the
src and dest object content at those location.

Then blit copies the data.

What happens if context is re-used? Gva's no longer point to PTEs so
how? Is a step to re-initialize after use missing? More sdw after the
blit copy to make it point back to ptes?

Every chunk starts with writing the PTEs used by the chunk. Within the
chunk, the GPU commands are not preemptible, so the PTEs cannot be
replaced before they are consumed.

We do leave the PTE pointing to stale pages after the blit, but since
the vm is only used by first rewriting the PTE, those dangling PTE
should never be chased.

So each chunk does a fixed copy between the same pair of addresses
within the vm; the magic is in rewriting the PTE to point at the pages
of interest for the chunk.

Isn't the vm getting potentially re-used on the fall-back path, if
virtual engine creation fails? In which case dangling PTEs would be
written to. Or I am still missing something?

The same vm is used by all contexts (only one is created).

Right, true. I'll try again because the overall scheme is still confusing me..

Migrate_vm makes [0, 2 * CHUNK_SZ) point to PTE backing store for the same range.

Src emit_pte writes up to [0, CHUNK_SZ) effectively re-writing PTEs for the same range

Dest emit_pte same for the destination range

Virtual address [0, 2 * CHUNK_SZ) ptes now point to src and dest objects backing store.

Blit copy emits blitter commands to copy between src and dest.

Now second copy comes and calls emit_pte which again writes to [0, CHUNK_SZ) virtual range. How does that end up in the PTE backing store and not previous object backing store?

Tvrtko
