[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915/ringbuffer: Fix context restore upon reset

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Mon Jun 11 11:08:44 UTC 2018


The discovery with trying to enable full-ppgtt was that we were
completely failing to the load both the mm and context following the
reset. Although we were performing mmio to set the PP_DIR (per-process
GTT) and CCID (context), these were taking no effect (the assumption was
that this would trigger reload of the context and restore the page
tables). It was not until we performed the LRI + MI_SET_CONTEXT in a
following context switch would anything occur.

Since we are then required to reset the context image and PP_DIR using
CS commands, we place those commands into every batch. The hardware
should recognise the no-ops and eliminate the expensive context loads,
but we still have to pay the cost of using cross-powerwell register
writes. In practice, this has no effect on actual context switch times,
and only adds a few hundred nanoseconds to no-op switches. We can improve
the latter by eliminating the w/a around known no-op switches, but there
is an ulterior motive to keeping them.

Always emitting the context switch at the beginning of the request (and
relying on HW to skip unneeded switches) does have one key advantage.
Should we implement request reordering on Haswell, we will not know in
advance what the previous executing context was on the GPU and so we
would not be able to elide the MI_SET_CONTEXT commands ourselves and
always have to emit them. Having our hand forced now actually prepares
us for later.

Now since that context and mm follow the request, we no longer (and not
for a long time since requests took over!) require a trace point to tell
when we write the switch into the ring, since it is always. (This is
even more important when you remember that simply writing into the ring
bears no relation to the current mm.)

v2: Sandybridge has to agree to use LRI as well.
