[PATCH 27/33] drm/i915/gem: Delay context creation (v2)
Jason Ekstrand

Thu Jun 3 16:41:00 UTC 2021
The current context uAPI allows for two methods of setting context
parameters: SET_CONTEXT_PARAM and CONTEXT_CREATE_EXT_SETPARAM. The
former is allowed to be called at any time while the later happens as
part of GEM_CONTEXT_CREATE. Currently, everything settable via one is
settable via the other. While some params are fairly simple and setting
them on a live context is harmless such as the context priority, others
are far trickier such as the VM or the set of engines. In order to swap
out the VM, for instance, we have to delay until all current in-flight
work is complete, swap in the new VM, and then continue. This leads to
a plethora of potential race conditions we'd really rather avoid.
In previous patches, we added a i915_gem_proto_context struct which is
capable of storing and tracking all such create parameters. This commit
delays the creation of the actual context until after the client is done
configuring it with SET_CONTEXT_PARAM. From the perspective of the
client, it has the same u32 context ID the whole time. From the
perspective of i915, however, it's an i915_gem_proto_context right up
until the point where we attempt to do something which the proto-context
can't handle. Then the real context gets created.
This is accomplished via a little xarray dance. When GEM_CONTEXT_CREATE
is called, we create a proto-context, reserve a slot in context_xa but
leave it NULL, the proto-context in the corresponding slot in
proto_context_xa. Then, whenever we go to look up a context, we first
check context_xa. If it's there, we return the i915_gem_context and
we're done. If it's not, we look in proto_context_xa and, if we find it
there, we create the actual context and kill the proto-context.
In order for this dance to work properly, everything which ever touches
a proto-context is guarded by drm_i915_file_private::proto_context_lock,
including context creation. Yes, this means context creation now takes
a giant global lock but it can't really be helped and that should never
be on any driver's fast-path anyway.
v2 (Daniel Vetter):
- Commit message grammatical fixes.
- Use WARN_ON instead of GEM_BUG_ON
- Rename lazy_create_context_locked to finalize_create_context_locked
- Rework the control-flow logic in the setparam ioctl
- Better documentation all around
