[RFC PATCH v2 00/11] CCS static load balance

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This patch series introduces static load balancing for GPUs with
multiple compute engines. It's a lengthy series, and some
challenging aspects still need to be resolved.

I have tried to split the work as much as possible to facilitate
the review process.

To summarize, in patches 1 to 10, no functional changes occur
except for the addition of the num_cslices interface. The
significant changes happen in patch 11, which is the core part of
the CCS mode setting, utilizing the groundwork laid in the
earlier patches.

Compared to the first version I've taken a completely different
approach to adding and removing engines. in v1 physical engines
were directly added and removed, along with the memory allocated
to them, each time the user changed the CCS mode.

In this updated approach, the focus is now on managing the UABI
engine list, which controls the engines exposed to userspace.
Instead of manipulating phuscal engines and their memory, we now
handle engine exposure through this list.

I would greatly appreciate further input from all reviewers who
have already assisted with the previous work.

IGT tests have also been developed, but I haven't sent them yet.

Thank you Chris for the offline reviews.

Thanks,
Andi
