There is many things that need more documentation espacialy as of right now there is no userspace i can go look at. There few show stopper, biggest one is gpu memory pinning this is a big no, that would need serious arguments for any hope of convincing me on that side. It might be better to add a drivers/gpu/drm/amd directory and add common stuff there. Given that this is not intended to be final HSA api AFAICT then i would say this far better to avoid the whole kfd module and add ioctl to radeon. This would avoid crazy communication btw radeon and kfd. The whole aperture business needs some serious explanation. Especialy as you want to use userspace address there is nothing to prevent userspace program from allocating things at address you reserve for lds, scratch, ... only sane way would be to move those lds, scratch inside the virtual address reserved for kernel (see kernel memory map). The whole business of locking performance counter for exclusive per process access is a big NO. Which leads me to the questionable usefullness of user space command ring. I only see issues with that. First and foremost i would need to see solid figures that kernel ioctl or syscall has a higher an overhead that is measurable in any meaning full way against a simple function call. I know the userspace command ring is a big marketing features that please ignorant userspace programmer. But really this only brings issues and for absolutely not upside afaict. So i would rather see a very simple ioctl that write the doorbell and might do more than that in case of ring/queue overcommit where it would first have to wait for a free ring/queue to schedule stuff. This would also allow sane implementation of things like performance counter that could be acquire by kernel for duration of a job submitted by userspace. While still not optimal this would be better that userspace locking. I might have more thoughts once i am done with all the patches.
