> New parallel submission uAPI
> ============================
> -Details to come in a following patch.
> +The existing bonding uAPI is completely broken with GuC submission because
> +whether a submission is a single context submit or parallel submit isn't known
> +until execbuf time activated via the I915_SUBMIT_FENCE. To submit multiple
> +contexts in parallel with the GuC the context must be explictly registered with
explicitly
> +N contexts and all N contexts must be submitted in a single command to the GuC.
> +These interfaces doesn't support dynamically changing between N contexts as the
"this interface" or "don't support", I'm not sure what "these" refers to...
"changing" what? maybe "swapping"?
> +bonding uAPI does. Hence the need for a new parallel submission interface. Also
> +the legacy bonding uAPI is quite confusing and not intuitive at all.
> +
> +The new parallel submission uAPI consists of 3 parts:
> +
> +* Export engines logical mapping
> +* A 'set_parallel' extension to configure contexts for parallel
> + submission
> +* Extend execbuf2 IOCTL to support submitting N BBs in a single IOCTL
> +
> +Export engines logical mapping
> +------------------------------
> +Certain use cases require BBs to be placed on engine instances in logical order
> +(e.g. split-frame on gen11+). The logical mapping of engine instances can change
> +based on fusing. Rather than making UMDs be aware of fusing, simply expose the
> +logical mapping with the existing query engine info IOCTL. Also the GuC
> +submission interface currently only supports submitting multiple contexts to
> +engines in logical order which is a new requirement compared to execlists.
> +Lastly, all current platforms have at most 2 instances and the logical order is
2 instances of what?
> +the same a uABI order. This will change on platforms with more than 2 instances.
probably s/a uABI/as uAPI/ (note: 2 typos)
> +
> +A single bit will be added to drm_i915_engine_info.flags indicating that the
> +logical instance has been returned and a new field,
> +drm_i915_engine_info.logical_instance, returns the logical instance.
> +
> +A 'set_parallel' extension to configure contexts for parallel submission
> +------------------------------------------------------------------------
> +The 'set_parallel' extension configures a slot for parallel submission of N BBs.
> +It is setup step that should be called before using any of the contexts. See
> +I915_CONTEXT_ENGINES_EXT_LOAD_BALANCE or I915_CONTEXT_ENGINES_EXT_BOND for
> +similar existing examples. Once a slot is configured for parallel submission the
> +execbuf2 IOCTL can be called submiting N BBs in a single IOCTL. Initially only
submitting
> +support GuC submission. Execlist support can be added later if needed.
> +
> +Add I915_CONTEXT_ENGINES_EXT_PARALLEL_SUBMIT and
> +i915_context_engines_parallel_submit to the uAPI to implement this extension.
> +
> +Extend execbuf2 IOCTL to support submitting N BBs in a single IOCTL
> +-------------------------------------------------------------------
> +Contexts that have been configured with the 'set_parallel' extension are allowed
> +to submit N BBs in a single execbuf2 IOCTL. The BBs are either the last N
> +objects in the drm_i915_gem_exec_object2 list or the first N if
> +I915_EXEC_BATCH_FIRST is set. The number of BBs is implict based on the slot
> +submitted and how it has been configured by 'set_parallel' or other extensions.
> +No uAPI changes in the execbuf IOCTL but worth mentioning the new behavior of
> +the IOCTL.
worth mentioning where? :)
