Again, - driver-specific init and release functions may be provided, - likely eventually calling ttm_bo_global_init() and - ttm_bo_global_release(), respectively.

Drivers can create GEM objects with - no shmfs backing (called private GEM objects) by initializing them with - a call to <function>drm_gem_private_object_init</function> instead of - <function>drm_gem_object_init</function>.

Applications get a handle to a GEM - object through a driver-specific ioctl, and can use that handle to refer - to the GEM object in other standard or driver-specific ioctls. Closing a - DRM file handle frees all its GEM handles and dereferences the - associated GEM objects. - </para> - <para> - To create a handle for a GEM object drivers call - <function>drm_gem_handle_create</function>. The function takes a pointer - to the DRM file and the GEM object and returns a locally unique handle. - When the handle is no longer needed drivers delete it with a call to - <function>drm_gem_handle_delete</function>. Finally the GEM object - associated with a handle can be retrieved by a call to - <function>drm_gem_object_lookup</function>. - </para> - <para> - Handles don't take ownership of GEM objects, they only take a reference - to the object that will be dropped when the handle is destroyed. To - avoid leaking GEM objects, drivers must make sure they drop the - reference(s) they own (such as the initial reference taken at object - creation time) as appropriate, without any special consideration for the - handle. For example, in the particular case of combined GEM object and - handle creation in the implementation of the - <methodname>dumb_create</methodname> operation, drivers must drop the - initial reference to the GEM object before returning the handle. - </para> - <para> - GEM names are similar in purpose to handles but are not local to DRM - files. They can be passed between processes to reference a GEM object - globally. Names can't be used directly to refer to objects in the DRM - API, applications must convert handles to names and names to handles - using the DRM_IOCTL_GEM_FLINK and DRM_IOCTL_GEM_OPEN ioctls - respectively. The conversion is handled by the DRM core without any - driver-specific support. - </para> - <para> - GEM also supports buffer sharing with dma-buf file descriptors through - PRIME. GEM-based drivers must use the provided helpers functions to - implement the exporting and importing correctly. See <xref linkend="drm-prime-support" />. - Since sharing file descriptors is inherently more secure than the - easily guessable and global GEM names it is the preferred buffer - sharing mechanism. Sharing buffers through GEM names is only supported - for legacy userspace.

Likewise, if the CPU accesses an object - after the GPU has finished rendering to the object, then the object - must be made coherent with the CPU's view of memory, usually involving - GPU cache flushing of various kinds. This core CPU<->GPU - coherency management is provided by a device-specific ioctl, which - evaluates an object's current domain and performs any necessary - flushing or synchronization to put the object into the desired - coherency domain (note that the object may be busy, i.e. an active - render target; in that case, setting the domain blocks the client and - waits for rendering to complete before performing any necessary - flushing operations). - </para> - </sect3> - <sect3> - <title>Command Execution</title> - <para> - Perhaps the most important GEM function for GPU devices is providing a - command execution interface to clients. Client programs construct - command buffers containing references to previously allocated memory - objects, and then submit them to GEM. At that point, GEM takes care to - bind all the objects into the GTT, execute the buffer, and provide - necessary synchronization between clients accessing the same buffers. - This often involves evicting some objects from the GTT and re-binding - others (a fairly expensive operation), and providing relocation - support which hides fixed GTT offsets from clients. Clients must take - care not to submit command buffers that reference more objects than - can fit in the GTT; otherwise, GEM will reject them and no rendering - will occur. Similarly, if several objects in the buffer require fence - registers to be allocated for correct rendering (e.g. 2D blits on - pre-965 chips), care must be taken not to require more fence registers - than are available to the client.

<title>Vertical Blanking</title> - <para> - Vertical blanking plays a major role in graphics rendering. To achieve - tear-free display, users must synchronize page flips and/or rendering to - vertical blanking. The DRM API offers ioctls to perform page flips - synchronized to vertical blanking and wait for vertical blanking. - </para> - <para> - The DRM core handles most of the vertical blanking management logic, which - involves filtering out spurious interrupts, keeping race-free blanking - counters, coping with counter wrap-around and resets and keeping use - counts. It relies on the driver to generate vertical blanking interrupts - and optionally provide a hardware vertical blanking counter. Drivers must - implement the following operations. - </para> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <synopsis>int (*enable_vblank) (struct drm_device *dev, int crtc); -void (*disable_vblank) (struct drm_device *dev, int crtc);</synopsis> - <para> - Enable or disable vertical blanking interrupts for the given CRTC. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <synopsis>u32 (*get_vblank_counter) (struct drm_device *dev, int crtc);</synopsis> - <para> - Retrieve the value of the vertical blanking counter for the given - CRTC.

This will - keep vertical blanking interrupts enabled permanently until the first mode - set operation, where <structfield>vblank_disable_allowed</structfield> is - set to 1. The reason behind this is not clear. Drivers can set the field - to 1 after <function>calling drm_vblank_init</function> to make vertical - blanking interrupts dynamically managed from the beginning. - </para> - <para> - Vertical blanking interrupts can be enabled by the DRM core or by drivers - themselves (for instance to handle page flipping operations). The DRM core - maintains a vertical blanking use count to ensure that the interrupts are - not disabled while a user still needs them. To increment the use count, - drivers call <function>drm_vblank_get</function>. Upon return vertical - blanking interrupts are guaranteed to be enabled. - </para> - <para> - To decrement the use count drivers call - <function>drm_vblank_put</function>. Only when the use count drops to zero - will the DRM core disable the vertical blanking interrupts after a delay - by scheduling a timer. The delay is accessible through the vblankoffdelay - module parameter or the <varname>drm_vblank_offdelay</varname> global - variable and expressed in milliseconds. Its default value is 5000 ms. - Zero means never disable, and a negative value means disable immediately. - Drivers may override the behaviour by setting the - <structname>drm_device</structname> - <structfield>vblank_disable_immediate</structfield> flag, which when set - causes vblank interrupts to be disabled immediately regardless of the - drm_vblank_offdelay value.

The primary node provides all legacy operations and - historically was the only interface used by userspace. With KMS, the - control node was introduced.

But the DRM API required unprivileged clients to - authenticate to a DRM-Master prior to getting GPU access. To avoid this - step and to grant clients GPU access without authenticating, render - nodes were introduced. Render nodes solely serve render clients, that - is, no modesetting or privileged ioctls can be issued on render nodes. - Only non-global rendering commands are allowed. If a driver supports - render nodes, it must advertise it via the DRIVER_RENDER - DRM driver capability. If not supported, the primary node must be used - for render clients together with the legacy drmAuth authentication - procedure. - </para> - <para> - If a driver advertises render node support, DRM core will create a - separate render node called renderD<num>. There will - be one render node per device. No ioctls except PRIME-related ioctls - will be allowed on this node. Especially GEM_OPEN will be - explicitly prohibited. Render nodes are designed to avoid the - buffer-leaks, which occur if clients guess the flink names or mmap - offsets on the legacy interface. Additionally to this basic interface, - drivers must mark their driver-dependent render-only ioctls as - DRM_RENDER_ALLOW so render clients can use them. Driver - authors must be careful not to allow any privileged ioctls on render - nodes. - </para> - <para> - With render nodes, user-space can now control access to the render node - via basic file-system access-modes. A running graphics server which - authenticates clients on the privileged primary/legacy node is no longer - required.

Besides, - they must work without any running master, anyway. - Drivers must be able to run without a master object if they support - render nodes.
