[PATCH] drm/amdgpu:implement CONTEXT_CONTROL (v3)

Liu, Monk Monk.Liu at amd.com

Which part is no correct ?

When CONTEXT_CONTROL introduced in kernel side, it dynamically skips or keeps the commands in preamble CEIB (LOAD_CE_RAM), so the Preamble CE IB not needed to skipped by software method.

But don't forget that CONTEXT_CONTROL also dynamically controls if the following load_xxx commands (in DE IB) will be skipped or kept, 

Original method can only skip the Preamble CE IB (totally) if no context switch, but it cannot skip the load__xxx from DE IB, since UMD is not aware of process switch (which leads to context switch )

UMD should always insert load_xxx commands in DE IB wrapped by preamble_start and preamble_end, and let KMD decide if those load_xxx shall kept or skipped by CONTEXT_CONTROL.



Now we go back to original logic:

Even if there is no context switch, original method skill keeps those Load_xxx in DE IB, right ? (Preamble_flag only controls skipping of Preamble CE IB).

The flag of "Preamble_flag" not works for DE IB, and that design is  incorrect ... and I am really shock that we use wrong method for such long time ... 
(not to mention that MESA insert CONTEXT_CONTROL in IB, which is clearly wrong).

Since MESA also use CE,  we can totally drop "Preamble_flag" and bump up the version. I don't know why we cannot just sync with windows kmd scheme for this.

Well then there is something wrong with the patch. Setting the preamble flag should result in an IB only being executed when there was a task switch.

We can either implement that as a software solution by skipping the IBs in question or by using the hardware for this.

Double checking your patch actually reveals that you want to emit the context control package only once, so this can't be correct.

Regards,
Christian.
