[RFC 0/9] Add native sync support to i915 driver

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

 



From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch set was originally part of the struct fence and scheduler
patch sets. However, it relies on de-staging the sync framework and
that is now being done by another group. Hence these patches had to be
split out into a separate series that can be merged after the de-stage
has happened.

Note that for the time being, this patch set also includes the
de-staging work because otherwise the rest of the patches will not
apply. Hence it is being set as an RFC rather than PATCH as the
expectation is those patches will need to be dropped and the remainder
rebased.

What the patch series does is to add support for user land sync points
to the i915 driver (such as Android native syncs and dma-buff syncs).
That allows exernal applications/libraries/drivers to asynchronously
submit and/or track GPU work. That is, a batch buffer can be submitted
to the i915 driver with a sync point attached which means that the
work will not actually be sent to the hardware until that sync point
has been signalled. Likewise, a sync point can be requested such that
when the batch buffer has completed on the hardware the sync point
will be signalled by the i915 driver.

This allows long chains of interdependent work to be submitted to
various drivers without the CPU having to wait between steps. E.g. a
video frame can be captured, used as an OGL texture and displayed to
the screen all as a single 'fire and forget' operation.

v1: New patch series put together from patches that were previously
part of two different patch sets. Hence version numbers in individual
patches have been change to 0.x for revisions when in previous series.
