[PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Rework order of operations in {__intel, logical}_ring_prepare()

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

 



The original idea of preallocating the OLR was implemented in

> 9d773091 drm/i915: Preallocate next seqno before touching the ring

and the sequence of operations was to allocate the OLR, then wrap past
the end of the ring if necessary, then wait for space if necessary.
But subsequently intel_ring_begin() was refactored, in

> 304d695 drm/i915: Flush outstanding requests before allocating new seqno

to ensure that pending work that might need to be flushed used the old
and not the newly-allocated request. This changed the sequence to wrap
and/or wait, then allocate, although the comment still said
	/* Preallocate the olr before touching the ring */
which was no longer true as intel_wrap_ring_buffer() touches the ring.

However, with the introduction of dynamic pinning, in

> 7ba717c drm/i915/bdw: Pin the ringbuffer backing object to GGTT on-demand

came the possibility that the ringbuffer might not be pinned to the GTT
or mapped into CPU address space when intel_ring_begin() is called. It
gets pinned when the request is allocated, so it's now important that
this comes *before* anything that can write into the ringbuffer, in this
case intel_wrap_ring_buffer(), as this will fault if (a) the ringbuffer
happens not to be mapped, and (b) tail happens to be sufficiently close
to the end of the ring to trigger wrapping.

So the correct order is neither the original allocate-wait-pad-wait, nor
the subsequent wait-pad-wait-allocate, but wait-allocate-pad, avoiding
both the problems described in the two commits mentioned above.

As a bonus, we eliminate the special case where a single ring_begin()
might end up waiting twice (once to be able to wrap, and then again
if that still hadn't actually freed enough space for the request). We
just precalculate the total amount of space we'll need *including* any
for padding the end of the ring and wait for that much in one go :)

In the time since this code was written, it has all been cloned from
the original ringbuffer model to become the execbuffer code, in

> 82e104c drm/i915/bdw: New logical ring submission mechanism

So now we have to fix it in both paths ...
