This patch series introduces AMDGPU usermode queues for gfx workloads.
Usermode queues is a method of GPU workload submission into the graphics
hardware without any interaction with kernel/DRM schedulers. In this
method, a userspace graphics application can create its own workqueue
and submit it directly in the GPU HW.
The general idea of how this is supposed to work:
- The application creates the following GPU objetcs:
- A queue object to hold the workload packets.
- A read pointer object.
- A write pointer object.
- A doorbell page.
- Shadow bufffer pages.
- The application picks a 32-bit offset in the doorbell page for this
queue.
- The application uses the usermode_queue_create IOCTL introduced in
this patch, by passing the GPU addresses of these objects (read ptr,
write ptr, queue base address and 32-bit doorbell offset from the
doorbell page)
- The kernel creates the queue and maps it in the HW.
- The application can start submitting the data in the queue as soon as
the kernel IOCTL returns.
- After filling the workload data in the queue, the app must write the
number of dwords added in the queue into the doorbell offset, and the
GPU will start fetching the data.
