[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 12/68] drm/i915: Defer PPGTT cleanup

Ben Widawsky benjamin.widawsky at intel.com
Fri Aug 22 05:11:35 CEST 2014


The last patch made PPGTT free cases correct. It left a major problem
though where in many cases it was possible to have to idle the GPU in
order to destroy a VM. This is really unfortunate as it is stalling the
active GPU process for the dying GPU process.

The workqueue grew very tricky. I left in my original wait based version
as #if 0, and used Chris' recommendation with the seqno check. I haven't
measure one vs the other, but I am in favor of the code as it is. I am
just leaving the old code for people to observe.

NOTE: I don't expect this patch to be merged as the thing it fixes will
be superseded by the PPGTT refcounting. However, at this time I do not
have a working and tested solution, other than mine. So it's still here.
