[PATCH 31/45] drm/i915: Stop tracking MRU activity on VMA

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Sat Jun 30 17:36:36 UTC 2018


Our goal is to remove struct_mutex and replace it with fine grained
locking. One of the thorny issues is our eviction logic for reclaiming
space for an execbuffer (or GTT mmaping, among a few other examples).
While eviction itself is easy to move under a per-VM mutex, performing
the activity tracking is less agreeable. One solution is not to do any
MRU tracking and do a simple coarse evaluation during eviction of
active/inactive, with a loose temporal ordering of last
insertion/evaluation. That keeps all the locking constrained to when we
are manipulating the VM itself, neatly avoiding the tricky handling of
possible recursive locking during execbuf and elsewhere.

Note that discarding the MRU is unlikely to impact upon our efficiency
to reclaim VM space (where we think a LRU model is best) as our
current strategy is to use random idle replacement first before doing
a search, and over time the use of softpinned 48b per-ppGTT is growing
(thereby eliminating any need to perform any eviction searches, in
theory at least).
