When I started two process and both register gpu0 and gpu1, they both got fd=15. If I have process A register gpu0+gpu1, and process B only register gpu0, process A gets fd=15 and process B gets fd=9. That’s why I added client ID.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> By multiple clients, I mean multiple processes. The ask is users want to have multiple tools and those different tools can use rsmi lib to watch events at the same time. Due to the reason above that two processes can actually get the same fd and I need to add client ID to distinguish the registration, I don’t see the point of limiting one registration per process unless I use pid to distinguish the client instead, which was in my consideration too when I was writing the code. But second thought is why adding this restriction when client ID can allow the tool to watch different events on different devices if they want to. Maybe client ID is a bad term and it misleads you. I should call it register ID.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> Regards,<o:p></o:p> Amber<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"> From: Kuehling, Felix <Felix.Kuehling@amd.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2020 7:04 PM To: Lin, Amber <Amber.Lin@amd.com>; amd-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] drm/amdkfd: Provide SMI events watch<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Hi Amber,<o:p></o:p> Some general remarks about the multi-client support. You added a global client id that's separate from the file descriptor. That's problematic for two reasons:<o:p></o:p> <ol start="1" type="1"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"> A process could change a different process' event mask<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"> The FD should already be unique per process, no need to invent another ID<o:p></o:p></li></ol> If we want to allow one process to register for events multiple times (multiple FDs per process), then the list of clients should be per process. Each process should only be allowed to change the event masks of its own clients. The client could be identified by its FD. No need for another client ID.<o:p></o:p> But you could also simplify it further by allowing only one event client per process. Then you don't need the client ID lookup at all. Just have a single event client in the kfd_process.<o:p></o:p> Another approach would be to make enable/disable functions of the event FD, rather than the KFD FD ioctl. It could be an ioctl of the event FD, or even simpler, you could use the write file-operation to write an event mask (of arbitrary length if you want to enable growth in the future). That way everything would be neatly encapsulated in the event FD private data.<o:p></o:p> Two more comments inline ...<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> Am 2020-04-14 um 5:30 p.m. schrieb Amber Lin:<o:p></o:p> </div> <blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"> <pre>When the compute is malfunctioning or performance drops, the system admin<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>will use SMI (System Management Interface) tool to monitor/diagnostic what<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>went wrong.

I'd not define this in the API header. It's not necessary to write correct clients. And if used badly, it may encourage writing incorrect clients that break with longer messages in the future.<o:p></o:p> Regards, Felix<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"> <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre> <pre>+<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> /* Register offset inside the remapped mmio page<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> */<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> enum kfd_mmio_remap {<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>@@ -546,7 +576,10 @@ enum kfd_mmio_remap {<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> #define AMDKFD_IOC_ALLOC_QUEUE_GWS \<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> AMDKFD_IOWR(0x1E, struct kfd_ioctl_alloc_queue_gws_args)<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> <o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>+#define AMDKFD_IOC_SMI_EVENTS \<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>+ AMDKFD_IOWR(0x1F, struct kfd_ioctl_smi_events_args)<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>+<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> #define AMDKFD_COMMAND_START 0x01<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>-#define AMDKFD_COMMAND_END 0x1F<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>+#define AMDKFD_COMMAND_END 0x20<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> <o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> #endif<o:p></o:p></pre> </blockquote> </div> </body> </html>
