Bigger picture discussion, picking up from the discussion about maybe
removing rcu for fence protections entirely.
Iirc the main hold-up was that in ttm delayed restore we really want to
take a snapshot of all the fences, even if we can't get at the
dma_resv_lock. I was wondering whether we can't solve this problem
different with something like that:
- demidlayer delayed destroy a bit, ttm core would only guarantee that
dma_resv_lock is called already (so we don't ahve to handle the delayed
destroy internally), then call into drivers
- drivers would iterate over the fences currently attached to dma_resv,
maybe with a deep iterator thing that walks through chain/array fences
too. The driver then filters out all fences which aren't his own
pertainined to the device. Driver can do that with the usual ops
upcasting trickery, ttm cannot do that.
- driver then stuffs all these fences into the local dma_resv, so that we
have an unshared dma_resv fence list with only the fences that matters,
and nothing that was added meanwhile
- driver calls the exported ttm function to clean up the mess with the
unshared dma_resv
Would this work?
I'm simply trying to figure out whether we have any option to get rid of
all this rcu trickery. At least from all the places where we really don't
need it ...
Meanwhile I'll try and do at least a bit of high-level review for your
series here.
