[PATCH v4 4/5] drm/xe/configfs: Add attribute to disable engines

Wed May 28 21:54:07 UTC 2025


Add the userspace interface to load the driver with fewer engines.
The syntax is to just echo the engine names to a file in configfs, like
below:

	echo 'rcs0,bcs0' > /sys/kernel/config/xe/<bdf>/engine_allowed

With that engines other than rcs0 and bcs0 will not be enabled. To
enable all instances from a class, a '*' can be used.

+ * Allowed engines:
+ * ----------------

+ * Allow only a set of engine(s) to be available, disabling the other engines
+ * even if they are available in hardware. This is applied after HW fuses are
+ * considered on each tile. Examples:
+ *
+ * Allow only one render and one copy engines, nothing else::
+ *
+ *	# echo 'rcs0,bcs0' > /sys/kernel/config/xe/0000:03:00.0/engines_allowed
+ *
+ * Allow only compute engines and first copy engine::
+ *
+ *	# echo 'ccs*,bcs0' > /sys/kernel/config/xe/0000:03:00.0/engines_allowed
+ *
+ * Note that the engine names are the per-GT hardware names. On multi-tile
+ * platforms, writing ``rcs0,bcs0`` to this file would allow the first render
+ * and copy engines on each tile.
+ *
+ * The requested configuration may not be supported by the platform and driver
+ * may fail to probe. For example: if at least one copy engine is expected to be
+ * available for migrations, but it's disabled. This is intended for debugging
+ * purposes only.
