[RFC PATCH 00/29] UMD direct submission in Xe

[Matthew Brost]

This is an RFC, or possibly even a proof of concept, for UMD (User Mode
Driver) direct submission in Xe. It is similar to AMD's design [1] [2]
or ARM's design [3], utilizing a uAPI to convert user-space syncs
(memory writes) to kernel-space syncs (DMA fences). It is built around
the existing Xe preemption fences for dynamic memory management, such as
userptr invalidation and buffer object (BO) eviction.

The series also enables mapping a PPGTT-bound submission ring in
non-privileged mode, as well as exposing indirect ring state (such as
ring head, tail, etc.) and the doorbell to user space, enabling UMD
direct submission.

The target for this series is Mesa, with the goal of enabling UMD direct
submission and removing the submission thread that currently handles
future fences. I've discussed this with Sima and the Intel Mesa team,
and it seems like a reachable target. Most synchronization will be
handled in user space via memory writes and semaphore wait ring
instructions, with only legacy cross-process synchronization (e.g.,
compositors) requiring kernel synchronization (DMA fences).

The series includes some common patches at the beginning to implement
preemption fences and user fences. The idea of preemption
DMA-reservation slots [4] has been dropped in favor of attaching the
last exported DMA fence to the preemption fence as suggested by AMD.

This is a public checkpoint on the KMD (Kernel Mode Driver) work, which
will be tabled until Intel's Mesa team has the bandwidth to begin the
UMD work. That said, the uAPI is very preliminary and likely to change.
One idea that was discussed is a common user fence interface based
around DRM syncobjs, which will likely be explored further as UMD
engagement begins. Some work for syncing VM binds (kernel operation)
with UMD direct submission is also likely required.

Testing has been done with [5], and the main features—such as basic
submission, dynamic memory management, user-to-kernel sync conversion,
and protection against endless user fences—are working on BMG and LNL.

The GitLab branch [6] has also been pushed for reference.

Any early community feedback is always appreciated.
