[Intel-xe] [PATCH 2/2] drm/xe: Fix the separate bind-engine race using coarse-granularity dependencies

Thomas Hellström thomas.hellstrom at linux.intel.com
Thu Jun 29 20:51:34 UTC 2023


Separate bind-engines operating on the same VM range might race updating
page-tables. To make sure that doesn't happen, each page-table update
operation needs to collect internal dependencies to await before the
job is executed.

Provide an infrastructure to do that. Initially we save a single dma-fence
for the entire VM, which thus removes the benefit of separate bind-engines
in favour of fixing the race, but a more fine-grained dependency
tracking can be achieved by using, for example, the same method as the
i915 vma_resources (an interval tree storing unsignaled fences). That
of course comes with increasing code complexity.

This patch will break the xe_vm at bind-engines-independent igt test, but that
would need an update anyway to avoid the independent binds using the
same address range. In any case, such a test would not work with the
initial xe implementation unless the binds were using different vms.
