[Intel-gfx] [CI 2/2] drm/i915/gem: Don't try to map and fence large scanout buffers (v9)

On platforms capable of allowing 8K (7680 x 4320) modes, pinning 2 or
more framebuffers/scanout buffers results in only one that is mappable/
fenceable. Therefore, pageflipping between these 2 FBs where only one
is mappable/fenceable creates latencies large enough to miss alternate
vblanks thereby producing less optimal framerate.
This mainly happens because when i915_gem_object_pin_to_display_plane()
is called to pin one of the FB objs, the associated vma is identified
as misplaced and therefore i915_vma_unbind() is called which unbinds and
evicts it. This misplaced vma gets subseqently pinned only when
i915_gem_object_ggtt_pin_ww() is called without PIN_MAPPABLE. This
results in a latency of ~10ms and happens every other vblank/repaint cycle.
Therefore, to fix this issue, we try to see if there is space to map
at-least two objects of a given size and return early if there isn't. This
would ensure that we do not try with PIN_MAPPABLE for any objects that
are too big to map thereby preventing unncessary unbind.
Testcase:
Running Weston and weston-simple-egl on an Alderlake_S (ADLS) platform
with a 8K at 60 mode results in only ~40 FPS. Since upstream Weston submits
a frame ~7ms before the next vblank, the latencies seen between atomic
commit and flip event are 7, 24 (7 + 16.66), 7, 24..... suggesting that
it misses the vblank every other frame.
Here is the ftrace snippet that shows the source of the ~10ms latency:
i915_gem_object_pin_to_display_plane() {
0.102 us | i915_gem_object_set_cache_level();
i915_gem_object_ggtt_pin_ww() {
0.390 us | i915_vma_instance();
0.178 us | i915_vma_misplaced();
i915_vma_unbind() {
__i915_active_wait() {
0.082 us | i915_active_acquire_if_busy();
0.475 us | }
intel_runtime_pm_get() {
0.087 us | intel_runtime_pm_acquire();
0.259 us | }
__i915_active_wait() {
0.085 us | i915_active_acquire_if_busy();
0.240 us | }
__i915_vma_evict() {
ggtt_unbind_vma() {
gen8_ggtt_clear_range() {
10507.255 us | }
10507.689 us | }
10508.516 us | }
v2: Instead of using bigjoiner checks, determine whether a scanout
buffer is too big by checking to see if it is possible to map
two of them into the ggtt.
v3 (Ville):
- Count how many fb objects can be fit into the available holes
instead of checking for a hole twice the object size.
- Take alignment constraints into account.
- Limit this large scanout buffer check to >= Gen 11 platforms.
v4:
- Remove existing heuristic that checks just for size. (Ville)
- Return early if we find space to map at-least two objects. (Tvrtko)
- Slightly update the commit message.
v5: (Tvrtko)
- Rename the function to indicate that the object may be too big to
map into the aperture.
- Account for guard pages while calculating the total size required
for the object.
- Do not subject all objects to the heuristic check and instead
consider objects only of a certain size.
- Do the hole walk using the rbtree.
- Preserve the existing PIN_NONBLOCK logic.
- Drop the PIN_MAPPABLE check while pinning the VMA.
v6: (Tvrtko)
- Return 0 on success and the specific error code on failure to
preserve the existing behavior.
v7: (Ville)
- Drop the HAS_GMCH(i915), DISPLAY_VER(i915) < 11 and
size < ggtt->mappable_end / 4 checks.
- Drop the redundant check that is based on previous heuristic.
v8:
- Make sure that we are holding the mutex associated with ggtt vm
as we traverse the hole nodes.
v9: (Tvrtko)
- Use mutex_lock_interruptible_nested() instead of mutex_lock().
