A memory fence can be awaited and signaled by both + the GPU and CPU. Memory fences are sometimes referred to as + user-fences, userspace-fences or gpu futexes and do not necessarily obey + the dma-fence rule of signaling within a "reasonable amount of time". + The kernel should thus avoid waiting for memory fences with locks held. + +* ``long-running workload``: A workload that may take more than the + current stipulated dma-fence maximum signal delay to complete and + which therefore needs to set the gpu_vm or the GPU execution context in + a certain mode that disallows completion dma-fences. + +* ``exec function``: An exec function is a function that revalidates all + affected gpu_vmas, submits a GPU command batch and registers the + dma_fence representing the GPU command's activity with all affected + dma_resvs. For completeness, although not covered by this document, + it's worth mentioning that an exec function may also be the + revalidation worker that is used by some drivers in compute / + long-running mode. + +* ``bind context``: A context identifier used for the VM_BIND + operation. VM_BIND operations that use the same bind context can be + assumed, where it matters, to complete in order of submission. No such + assumptions can be made for VM_BIND operations using separate bind contexts. + +* ``UMD``: User-mode driver. + +* ``KMD``: Kernel-mode driver. + + +Synchronous / Asynchronous VM_BIND operation +============================================ + +Synchronous VM_BIND +___________________ +With Synchronous VM_BIND, the VM_BIND operations all complete before the +IOCTL returns. A synchronous VM_BIND takes neither in-fences nor +out-fences. Synchronous VM_BIND may block and wait for GPU operations; +for example swap-in or clearing, or even previous binds. + +Asynchronous VM_BIND +____________________ +Asynchronous VM_BIND accepts both in-syncobjs and out-syncobjs. While the +IOCTL may return immediately, the VM_BIND operations wait for the in-syncobjs +before modifying the GPU page-tables, and signal the out-syncobjs when +the modification is done in the sense that the next exec function that +awaits for the out-syncobjs will see the change. Errors are reported +synchronously. +In low-memory situations the implementation may block, performing the +VM_BIND synchronously, because there might not be enough memory +immediately available for preparing the asynchronous operation. + +If the VM_BIND IOCTL takes a list or an array of operations as an argument, +the in-syncobjs needs to signal before the first operation starts to +execute, and the out-syncobjs signal after the last operation +completes. Operations in the operation list can be assumed, where it +matters, to complete in order. + +Since asynchronous VM_BIND operations may use dma-fences embedded in +out-syncobjs and internally in KMD to signal bind completion, any +memory fences given as VM_BIND in-fences need to be awaited +synchronously before the VM_BIND ioctl returns, since dma-fences, +required to signal in a reasonable amount of time, can never be made +to depend on memory fences that don't have such a restriction. + +The purpose of an Asynchronous VM_BIND operation is for user-mode +drivers to be able to pipeline interleaved gpu_vm modifications and +exec functions. For long-running workloads, such pipelining of a bind +operation is not allowed and any in-fences need to be awaited +synchronously. The reason for this is twofold. First, any memory +fences gated by a long-running workload and used as in-syncobjs for the +VM_BIND operation will need to be awaited synchronously anyway (see +above). Second, any dma-fences used as in-syncobjs for VM_BIND +operations for long-running workloads will not allow for pipelining +anyway since long-running workloads don't allow for dma-fences as +out-syncobjs, so while theoretically possible the use of them is +questionable and should be rejected until there is a valuable use-case. +Note that this is not a limitation imposed by dma-fence rules, but +rather a limitation imposed to keep KMD implementation simple. It does +not affect using dma-fences as dependencies for the long-running +workload itself, which is allowed by dma-fence rules, but rather for +the VM_BIND operation only. + +An asynchronous VM_BIND operation may take substantial time to +complete and signal the out_fence. In particular if the operation is +deeply pipelined behind other VM_BIND operations and workloads +submitted using exec functions. In that case, UMD might want to avoid a +subsequent VM_BIND operation to be queued behind the first one if +there are no explicit dependencies. In order to circumvent such a queue-up, a +VM_BIND implementation may allow for VM_BIND contexts to be +created. For each context, VM_BIND operations will be guaranteed to +complete in the order they were submitted, but that is not the case +for VM_BIND operations executing on separate VM_BIND contexts. Instead +KMD will attempt to execute such VM_BIND operations in parallel but +leaving no guarantee that they will actually be executed in +parallel. There may be internal implicit dependencies that only KMD knows +about, for example page-table structure changes. A way to attempt +to avoid such internal dependencies is to have different VM_BIND +contexts use separate regions of a VM. + +Also for VM_BINDS for long-running gpu_vms the user-mode driver should typically +select memory fences as out-fences since that gives greater flexibility for +the kernel mode driver to inject other operations into the bind / +unbind operations. Like for example inserting breakpoints into batch +buffers. The workload execution can then easily be pipelined behind +the bind completion using the memory out-fence as the signal condition +for a GPU semaphore embedded by UMD in the workload. + +There is no difference in the operations supported or in +multi-operation support between asynchronous VM_BIND and synchronous VM_BIND. + +Multi-operation VM_BIND IOCTL error handling and interrupts +=========================================================== + +The VM_BIND operations of the IOCTL may error for various reasons, for +example due to lack of resources to complete and due to interrupted +waits. +In these situations UMD should preferably restart the IOCTL after +taking suitable action. +If UMD has over-committed a memory resource, an -ENOSPC error will be +returned, and UMD may then unbind resources that are not used at the +moment and rerun the IOCTL. On -EINTR, UMD should simply rerun the +IOCTL and on -ENOMEM user-space may either attempt to free known +system memory resources or fail. In case of UMD deciding to fail a +bind operation, due to an error return, no additional action is needed +to clean up the failed operation, and the VM is left in the same state +as it was before the failing IOCTL. +Unbind operations are guaranteed not to return any errors due to +resource constraints, but may return errors due to, for example, +invalid arguments or the gpu_vm being banned. +In the case an unexpected error happens during the asynchronous bind +process, the gpu_vm will be banned, and attempts to use it after banning +will return -ENOENT. + +Example: The Xe VM_BIND uAPI +============================ + +Starting with the VM_BIND operation struct, the IOCTL call can take +zero, one or many such operations. A zero number means only the +synchronization part of the IOCTL is carried out: an asynchronous +VM_BIND updates the syncobjects, whereas a sync VM_BIND waits for the +implicit dependencies to be fulfilled. + +.. code-block:: c + + struct drm_xe_vm_bind_op { + /** + * @obj: GEM object to operate on, MBZ for MAP_USERPTR, MBZ for UNMAP + */ + __u32 obj; + + /** @pad: MBZ */ + __u32 pad; + + union { + /** + * @obj_offset: Offset into the object for MAP. + */ + __u64 obj_offset; + + /** @userptr: user virtual address for MAP_USERPTR */ + __u64 userptr; + }; + + /** + * @range: Number of bytes from the object to bind to addr, MBZ for UNMAP_ALL + */ + __u64 range; + + /** @addr: Address to operate on, MBZ for UNMAP_ALL */ + __u64 addr; + + /** + * @tile_mask: Mask for which tiles to create binds for, 0 == All tiles, + * only applies to creating new VMAs + */ + __u64 tile_mask; + + /* Map (parts of) an object into the GPU virtual address range. + #define XE_VM_BIND_OP_MAP 0x0 + /* Unmap a GPU virtual address range */ + #define XE_VM_BIND_OP_UNMAP 0x1 + /* + * Map a CPU virtual address range into a GPU virtual + * address range. + */ + #define XE_VM_BIND_OP_MAP_USERPTR 0x2 + /* Unmap a gem object from the VM. */ + #define XE_VM_BIND_OP_UNMAP_ALL 0x3 + /* + * Make the backing memory of an address range resident if + * possible.
