[PATCH v6 4/7] drm/i915: Delay the freeing of requests until retire time

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

 



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

The request structure is reference counted. When the count reached
zero, the request was immediately freed and all associated objects
were unrefereced/unallocated. This meant that the driver mutex lock
must be held at the point where the count reaches zero. This was fine
while all references were held internally to the driver. However, the
plan is to allow the underlying fence object (and hence the request
itself) to be returned to other drivers and to userland. External
users cannot be expected to acquire a driver private mutex lock.

Rather than attempt to disentangle the request structure from the
driver mutex lock, the decsion was to defer the free code until a
later (safer) point. Hence this patch changes the unreference callback
to merely move the request onto a delayed free list. The driver's
retire worker thread will then process the list and actually call the
free function on the requests.

v2: New patch in series.

v3: Updated after review comments by Tvrtko Ursulin. Rename list nodes
to 'link' rather than 'list'. Update list processing to be more
efficient/safer with respect to spinlocks.

v4: Changed to use basic spinlocks rather than IRQ ones - missed
update from earlier feedback by Tvrtko.

v5: Improved a comment to keep the style checker happy.

For: VIZ-5190
