[PATCH 2/4] dma-fence: dma-buf synchronization (v8 )

A dma-fence can be attached to a buffer which is being filled or consumed
by hw, to allow userspace to pass the buffer without waiting to another
device. For example, userspace can call page_flip ioctl to display the
next frame of graphics after kicking the GPU but while the GPU is still
rendering. The display device sharing the buffer with the GPU would
attach a callback to get notified when the GPU's rendering-complete IRQ
fires, to update the scan-out address of the display, without having to
wake up userspace.
A dma-fence is transient, one-shot deal. It is allocated and attached
to one or more dma-buf's. When the one that attached it is done, with
the pending operation, it can signal the fence.
+ dma_fence_signal()
The dma-buf-mgr handles tracking, and waiting on, the fences associated
with a dma-buf.
TODO maybe need some helper fxn for simple devices, like a display-
only drm/kms device which simply wants to wait for exclusive fence to
be signaled, and then attach a non-exclusive fence while scanout is in
progress.
The one pending on the fence can add an async callback:
+ dma_fence_add_callback()
The callback can optionally be cancelled with remove_wait_queue()
Or wait synchronously (optionally with timeout or interruptible):
+ dma_fence_wait()
A default software-only implementation is provided, which can be used
by drivers attaching a fence to a buffer when they have no other means
for hw sync. But a memory backed fence is also envisioned, because it
is common that GPU's can write to, or poll on some memory location for
synchronization. For example:
fence = dma_buf_get_fence(dmabuf);
if (fence->ops == &bikeshed_fence_ops) {
dma_buf *fence_buf;
dma_bikeshed_fence_get_buf(fence, &fence_buf, &offset);
... tell the hw the memory location to wait on ...
} else {
/* fall-back to sw sync * /
dma_fence_add_callback(fence, my_cb);
}
On SoC platforms, if some other hw mechanism is provided for synchronizing
between IP blocks, it could be supported as an alternate implementation
with it's own fence ops in a similar way.
To facilitate other non-sw implementations, the enable_signaling callback
can be used to keep track if a device not supporting hw sync is waiting
on the fence, and in this case should arrange to call dma_fence_signal()
at some point after the condition has changed, to notify other devices
waiting on the fence. If there are no sw waiters, this can be skipped to
avoid waking the CPU unnecessarily. The handler of the enable_signaling
op should take a refcount until the fence is signaled, then release its ref.
The intention is to provide a userspace interface (presumably via eventfd)
later, to be used in conjunction with dma-buf's mmap support for sw access
to buffers (or for userspace apps that would prefer to do their own
synchronization).
v1: Original
v2: After discussion w/ danvet and mlankhorst on #dri-devel, we decided
that dma-fence didn't need to care about the sw->hw signaling path
(it can be handled same as sw->sw case), and therefore the fence->ops
can be simplified and more handled in the core. So remove the signal,
add_callback, cancel_callback, and wait ops, and replace with a simple
enable_signaling() op which can be used to inform a fence supporting
hw->hw signaling that one or more devices which do not support hw
signaling are waiting (and therefore it should enable an irq or do
whatever is necessary in order that the CPU is notified when the
fence is passed).
v3: Fix locking fail in attach_fence() and get_fence()
v4: Remove tie-in w/ dma-buf.. after discussion w/ danvet and mlankorst
we decided that we need to be able to attach one fence to N dma-buf's,
so using the list_head in dma-fence struct would be problematic.
v5: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Updated for dma-bikeshed-fence and dma-buf-manager.
v6: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] I removed dma_fence_cancel_callback and some comments
about checking if fence fired or not. This is broken by design.
waitqueue_active during destruction is now fatal, since the signaller
should be holding a reference in enable_signalling until it signalled
the fence. Pass the original dma_fence_cb along, and call __remove_wait
in the dma_fence_callback handler, so that no cleanup needs to be
performed.
v7: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Set cb->func and only enable sw signaling if
fence wasn't signaled yet, for example for hardware fences that may
choose to signal blindly.
v8: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Tons of tiny fixes, moved __dma_fence_init to
header and fixed include mess. dma-fence.h now includes dma-buf.h
All members are now initialized, so kmalloc can be used for
allocating a dma-fence. More documentation added.
