[PATCH v2 1/1] drm/syncobj: add sideband payload

Thu Aug 8 09:04:22 UTC 2019


The Vulkan timeline semaphores allow signaling to happen on the point
of the timeline without all of the its dependencies to be created.

The current 2 implementations (AMD/Intel) of the Vulkan spec on top of
the Linux kernel are using a thread to wait on the dependencies of a
given point to materialize and delay actual submission to the kernel
driver until the wait completes.

If a binary semaphore is submitted for signaling along the side of a
timeline semaphore waiting for completion that means that the drm
syncobj associated with that binary semaphore will not have a DMA
fence associated with it by the time vkQueueSubmit() returns. This and
the fact that a binary semaphore can be signaled and unsignaled as
before its DMA fences materialize mean that we cannot just rely on the
fence within the syncobj but we also need a sideband payload verifying
that the fence in the syncobj matches the last submission from the
Vulkan API point of view.

This change adds a sideband payload that is incremented with signaled
syncobj when vkQueueSubmit() is called. The next vkQueueSubmit()
waiting on a the syncobj will read the sideband payload and wait for a
fence chain element with a seqno superior or equal to the sideband
payload value to be added into the fence chain and use that fence to
trigger the submission on the kernel driver.

v2: Use a separate ioctl to get/set the sideband value (Christian)
