[RFC 1/4] drm/i915: Implement a framework for batch buffer pools

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

 



From: Brad Volkin <bradley.d.volkin@xxxxxxxxx>

This adds a small module for managing a pool of batch buffers.
The only current use case is for the command parser, as described
in the kerneldoc in the patch. The code is simple, but separating
it out makes it easier to change the underlying algorithms and to
extend to future use cases should they arise.

The interface is simple: alloc to create an empty pool, free to
clean it up; get to obtain a new buffer, put to return it to the
pool. Note that all buffers must be returned to the pool before
freeing it.

The pool has a maximum number of buffers allowed due to some tests
(e.g. gem_exec_nop) creating a very large number of buffers (e.g.
___). Buffers are purgeable while in the pool, but not explicitly
truncated in order to avoid overhead during execbuf.

Locking is currently based on the caller holding the struct_mutex.
We already do that in the places where we will use the batch pool
for the command parser.

r.e. pool capacity
My original testing showed something like thousands of buffers in
the pool after a gem_exec_nop run. But when I reran with the max
check disabled just now to get an actual number for the commit
message, the number was more like 130.  I developed and tested the
changes incrementally, and suspect that the original run was before
I implemented the actual copy operation. So I'm inclined to remove
or at least increase the cap in the final version. Thoughts?
