[PATCH v6 00/15] dma-fence: Deadline awareness

[Rob Clark]

From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>


This series adds a deadline hint to fences, so realtime deadlines
such as vblank can be communicated to the fence signaller for power/
frequency management decisions.

This is partially inspired by a trick i915 does, but implemented
via dma-fence for a couple of reasons:

1) To continue to be able to use the atomic helpers
2) To support cases where display and gpu are different drivers

This iteration adds a dma-fence ioctl to set a deadline (both to
support igt-tests, and compositors which delay decisions about which
client buffer to display), and a sw_sync ioctl to read back the
deadline.  IGT tests utilizing these can be found at:

v1: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/93035/
v2: Move filtering out of later deadlines to fence implementation
    to avoid increasing the size of dma_fence
v3: Add support in fence-array and fence-chain; Add some uabi to
    support igt tests and userspace compositors.
v4: Rebase, address various comments, and add syncobj deadline
    support, and sync_file EPOLLPRI based on experience with perf/
    freq issues with clvk compute workloads on i915 (anv)
v5: Clarify that this is a hint as opposed to a more hard deadline
    guarantee, switch to using u64 ns values in UABI (still absolute
    CLOCK_MONOTONIC values), drop syncobj related cap and driver
    feature flag in favor of allowing count_handles==0 for probing
    kernel support.
v6: Re-work vblank helper to calculate time of _start_ of vblank,
    and work correctly if the last vblank event was more than a
    frame ago.  Add (mostly unrelated) drm/msm patch which also
    uses the vblank helper.  Use dma_fence_chain_contained().  More
    verbose syncobj UABI comments.  Drop DMA_FENCE_FLAG_HAS_DEADLINE_BIT.
