[AMD Official Use Only - General]

I remembered we try to use kiq directly send the invalidation packet to mec FW with pasid  as parameter since it's FW control the  VMID and  PASID mapping , but during  some test , it shows performance drop compare to driver directly get the  vmid/pasid mapping and  do the  invalidation by itself.   For now,  although driver still use the  kiq/mes , but only use it for the register read/write and wait instead  of send the  invalidate package directly . This actually has some potential issue like when  driver read the vmid_pasid mapping from hw register , FW(hw scheduler) might change the process mapping (vmid/pasid mapping changed)
I think it probably make more sense to directly use mmio way for bare metal, but I heard someone  compare with kiq , and  it doesn't make much performance difference.  So if we want to minimize the code difference between SRIOV and  bare metal , use the kiq looks ok .
From my understanding , although kiq and  mes are all use mes pipe , but the  design is different,  kiq(MES pipe 1)  is mainly used for immediate job like register access etc , mes (MES pipe 0 )  is a scheduler responsible for queue management mostly , although it has extend its support for misc-op (include register access), internally , it will  eventually pass these package to kig( pipe 1) , driver side should try to not overuse them and directly sent these operation to kiq if necessary.

But the  function  amdgpu_virt_kiq_reg_write_reg_wait is defined in amdgpu_virt.c with  name  'virt'  make it appear as a SRIOV only function, this sounds confusion . Will it make more sense to move the function out of amdgpu_virt.c file and  rename it as amdgpu_kig_reg_write_reg_wait ?

The ring for kiq and  mes is different ,  driver should use kiq(adev->gfx.kiq[0].ring) for these register read/write or wait operation  and  mes ( adev->mes.ring) for add/remove queues  etc.

I understand why it is needed for SR-IOV.  Is there a reason to use the MES or KIQ for TLB invalidation rather than the register method on bare metal?  It looks like the register method is never used anymore.
 Seems like we should either, make the KIQ/MES method SR-IOV only, or drop the register method and just always use KIQ/MES.
