Some users require that when a master batch is executed on one particular
engine, a companion batch is run simultaneously on a specific slave
engine. For this purpose, we introduce virtual engine bonding, allowing
maps of master:slaves to be constructed to constrain which physical
engines a virtual engine may select given a fence on a master engine.
For the moment, we continue to ignore the issue of preemption deferring
the master request for later. Ideally, we would like to then also remove
the slave and run something else rather than have it stall the pipeline.
With load balancing, we should be able to move workload around it, but
there is a similar stall on the master pipeline while it may wait for
the slave to be executed. At the cost of more latency for the bonded
request, it may be interesting to launch both on their engines in
lockstep. (Bubbles abound.)
Opens: Also what about bonding an engine as its own master? It doesn't
break anything internally, so allow the silliness.
v2: Emancipate the bonds
v3: Couple in delayed scheduling for the selftests
v4: Handle invalid mutually exclusive bonding
v5: Mention what the uapi does

Having allowed the user to define a set of engines that they will want
to only use, we go one step further and allow them to bind those engines
into a single virtual instance. Submitting a batch to the virtual engine
will then forward it to any one of the set in a manner as best to
distribute load. The virtual engine has a single timeline across all
engines (it operates as a single queue), so it is not able to concurrently
run batches across multiple engines by itself; that is left up to the user
to submit multiple concurrent batches to multiple queues. Multiple users
will be load balanced across the system.
The mechanism used for load balancing in this patch is a late greedy
balancer. When a request is ready for execution, it is added to each
engine's queue, and when an engine is ready for its next request it
claims it from the virtual engine. The first engine to do so, wins, i.e.
the request is executed at the earliest opportunity (idle moment) in the
system.
As not all HW is created equal, the user is still able to skip the
virtual engine and execute the batch on a specific engine, all within the
same queue. It will then be executed in order on the correct engine,
with execution on other virtual engines being moved away due to the load
detection.
A couple of areas for potential improvement left!
- The virtual engine always take priority over equal-priority tasks.
Mostly broken up by applying FQ_CODEL rules for prioritising new clients,
and hopefully the virtual and real engines are not then congested (i.e.
all work is via virtual engines, or all work is to the real engine).
- We require the breadcrumb irq around every virtual engine request. For
normal engines, we eliminate the need for the slow round trip via
interrupt by using the submit fence and queueing in order. For virtual
engines, we have to allow any job to transfer to a new ring, and cannot
coalesce the submissions, so require the completion fence instead,
forcing the persistent use of interrupts.
- We only drip feed single requests through each virtual engine and onto
the physical engines, even if there was enough work to fill all ELSP,
leaving small stalls with an idle CS event at the end of every request.
Could we be greedy and fill both slots? Being lazy is virtuous for load
distribution on less-than-full workloads though.
Other areas of improvement are more general, such as reducing lock
contention, reducing dispatch overhead, looking at direct submission
rather than bouncing around tasklets etc.
sseu: Lift the restriction to allow sseu to be reconfigured on virtual
engines composed of RENDER_CLASS (rcs).

A usecase arose out of handling context recovery in mesa, whereby they
wish to recreate a context with fresh logical state but preserving all
other details of the original. Currently, they create a new context and
iterate over which bits they want to copy across, but it would much more
convenient if they were able to just pass in a target context to clone
during creation. This essentially extends the setparam during creation
to pull the details from a target context instead of the user supplied
parameters.
The ideal here is that we don't expose control over anything more than
can be obtained via CONTEXT_PARAM. That is userspace retains explicit
control over all features, and this api is just convenience.
For example, you could replace
struct context_param p = { .param = CONTEXT_PARAM_VM };
param.ctx_id = old_id;
gem_context_get_param(&p.param);
new_id = gem_context_create();
param.ctx_id = new_id;
gem_context_set_param(&p.param);
gem_vm_destroy(param.value); /* drop the ref to VM_ID handle */
with
struct create_ext_param p = {
{ .name = CONTEXT_CREATE_CLONE },
.clone_id = old_id,
.flags = CLONE_FLAGS_VM
}
new_id = gem_context_create_ext(&p);
and not have to worry about stray namespace pollution etc.

Allow the user to specify a local engine index (as opposed to
class:index) that they can use to refer to a preset engine inside the
ctx->engine[] array defined by an earlier I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_ENGINES.
This will be useful for setting SSEU parameters on virtual engines that
are local to the context and do not have a valid global class:instance
lookup.
Note that due to the ambiguity in using class:instance with
ctx->engines[], if a user supplied engine map is active the user must
specify the engine to alter by its index into the ctx->engines[].

Over the last few years, we have debated how to extend the user API to
support an increase in the number of engines, that may be sparse and
even be heterogeneous within a class (not all video decoders created
equal). We settled on using (class, instance) tuples to identify a
specific engine, with an API for the user to construct a map of engines
to capabilities. Into this picture, we then add a challenge of virtual
engines; one user engine that maps behind the scenes to any number of
physical engines. To keep it general, we want the user to have full
control over that mapping. To that end, we allow the user to constrain a
context to define the set of engines that it can access, order fully
controlled by the user via (class, instance). With such precise control
in context setup, we can continue to use the existing execbuf uABI of
specifying a single index; only now it doesn't automagically map onto
the engines, it uses the user defined engine map from the context.
v2: Fixup freeing of local on success of get_engines()
v3: Allow empty engines[]
v4: s/nengine/num_engines/
v5: Replace 64 limit on num_engines with a note that execbuf is
currently limited to only using the first 64 engines.

Having hid the partially exposed new ABI from the PR, put it back again
for completion of context recovery. A significant part of context
recovery is the ability to reuse as much of the old context as is
feasible (to avoid expensive reconstruction). The biggest chunk kept
hidden at the moment is fine-control over the ctx->ppgtt (the GPU page
tables and associated translation tables and kernel maps), so make
control over the ctx->ppgtt explicit.
This allows userspace to create and share virtual memory address spaces
(within the limits of a single fd) between contexts they own, along with
the ability to query the contexts for the vm state.

We switched to a tree of per-engine HW context to accommodate the
introduction of virtual engines. However, we plan to also support
multiple instances of the same engine within the GEM context, defeating
our use of the engine as a key to looking up the HW context. Just
allocate a logical per-engine instance and always use an index into the
ctx->engines[]. Later on, this ctx->engines[] may be replaced by a user
specified map.

It was noted that we made the same mistake for VM_ID as for object
handles, whereby we ensured that we only allocated a single handle for
one ppgtt. This has the unfortunate consequence for userspace that they
need to reference count the handles to avoid destroying an active ID. If
we allow multiple handles to the same ppgtt, userspace can freely
unreference any handle they own without fear of destroying the same
handle in use elsewhere.

In the current scheme, on submitting a request we take a single global
GEM wakeref, which trickles down to wake up all GT power domains. This
is undesirable as we would like to be able to localise our power
management to the available power domains and to remove the global GEM
operations from the heart of the driver. (The intent there is to push
global GEM decisions to the boundary as used by the GEM user interface.)
Now during request construction, each request is responsible via its
logical context to acquire a wakeref on each power domain it intends to
utilize. Currently, each request takes a wakeref on the engine(s) and
the engines themselves take a chipset wakeref. This gives us a
transition on each engine which we can extend if we want to insert more
powermangement control (such as soft rc6). The global GEM operations
that currently require a struct_mutex are reduced to listening to pm
events from the chipset GT wakeref. As we reduce the struct_mutex
requirement, these listeners should evaporate.
Perhaps the biggest immediate change is that this removes the
struct_mutex requirement around GT power management, allowing us greater
flexibility in request construction. Another important knock-on effect,
is that by tracking engine usage, we can insert a switch back to the
kernel context on that engine immediately, avoiding any extra delay or
inserting global synchronisation barriers. This makes tracking when an
engine and its associated contexts are idle much easier -- important for
when we forgo our assumed execution ordering and need idle barriers to
unpin used contexts. In the process, it means we remove a large chunk of
code whose only purpose was to switch back to the kernel context.

Start acquiring the logical intel_context and using that as our primary
means for request allocation. This is the initial step to allow us to
avoid requiring struct_mutex for request allocation along the
perma-pinned kernel context, but it also provides a foundation for
breaking up the complex request allocation to handle different scenarios
inside execbuf.
For the purpose of emitting a request from inside retirement (see the
next patch for engine power management), we also need to lift control
over the timeline mutex to the caller.

When we introduced preemption, we chose to keep it disabled for gen8 as
supporting preemption inside GPGPU user batches required various w/a in
userspace. Since then, the desire to preempt long queues of requests
between batches (e.g. within busywaiting semaphores) has grown. So allow
arbitration within the busywaits and between requests, but disable
arbitration within user batches so that we can preempt between requests
and not risk breaking GPGPU.
However, since this preemption is much coarser and doesn't interfere
with userspace, we decline to include it amongst the scheduler
capabilities. (This is also required for us to skip over the preemption
selftests that expect to be able to preempt user batches.)
Michal suggested that we could perhaps allow preemption inside gen8
userspace batches if we can satisfy ourselves that the default
preemption settings are viable with existing userspace (principally
OpenCL which already should carry any known workaround). We could then
merge the two code paths back into one, even dropping the artifical
has-preemption device feature flag.

Previously, our view has been always to run the engines independently
within a context. (Multiple engines happened before we had contexts and
timelines, so they always operated independently and that behaviour
persisted into contexts.) However, at the user level the context often
represents a single timeline (e.g. GL contexts) and userspace must
ensure that the individual engines are serialised to present that
ordering to the client (or forgot about this detail entirely and hope no
one notices - a fair ploy if the client can only directly control one
engine themselves ;)
In the next patch, we will want to construct a set of engines that
operate as one, that have a single timeline interwoven between them, to
present a single virtual engine to the user. (They submit to the virtual
engine, then we decide which engine to execute on based.)
To that end, we want to be able to create contexts which have a single
timeline (fence context) shared between all engines, rather than multiple
timelines.

The timeline->name is only used for convenience in pretty printing the
i915_request.fence->ops->get_timeline_name() and it is just as
convenient to pull it from the gem_context directly. The few instances
of its use inside GEM_TRACE() has proven more of a nuisance than
helpful, so not worth saving imo.

In later patches, it became apparent that userspace can see a partially
constructed GEM context and begin using it before it was ready, to much
hilarity. Close this window of opportunity by lifting the registration of
the context with userspace (the insertion of the context into the filp's

In the next patch, we will want to update live state within a context.
As this state may be in use by the GPU and we haven't been explicitly
tracking its activity, we instead attach it to a request we send down
the context setup with its new state and on retiring that request
cleanup the old state as we then know that it is no longer live.

Introduce a mutex to start locking the HW contexts independently of
struct_mutex, with a view to reducing the coarse struct_mutex. The
intel_context.pin_mutex is used to guard the transition to and from being
pinned on the gpu, and so is required before starting to build any
request. The intel_context will then remain pinned until the request
completes, but the mutex can be released immediately unpin completion of
pinning the context.
A slight variant of the above is used by per-context sseu that wants to
inspect the pinned status of the context, and requires that it remains
stable (either !pinned or pinned) across its operation. By using the
pin_mutex to serialise operations while pin_count==0, we can take that
pin_mutex for stabilise the boolean pin status.
v2: for Tvrtko!

array over to an rbtree, allocated upon first use.
Unfortunately, this imposes an rbtree lookup at a few frequent callsites,

Currently we assume that we know the order in which requests run and so
can determine if we need to reissue a switch-to-kernel-context prior to
idling. That assumption does not hold for the future, so instead of
tracking which barriers have been used, simply determine if we have ever
switched away from the kernel context by using the engine and before
idling ensure that all engines that have been used since the last idle
are synchronously switched back to the kernel context for safety (and
else of shrinking memory while idle).

When the system idles, we switch to the kernel context as a defensive
measure (no users are harmed if the kernel context is lost). Currently,
we issue a switch to kernel context and then come back later to see if
the kernel context is still current and the system is idle. However,
if we are no longer privy to the runqueue ordering, then we have to
relax our assumptions about the logical state of the GPU and the only
way to ensure that the kernel context is currently loaded is by issuing
a request to run after all others, and wait for it to complete all while
preventing anyone else from issuing their own requests.
v2: Pull wedging into switch_to_kernel_context_sync() but only after
waiting (though only for the same short delay) for the active context to
finish.

Introduce a new ABI method for detecting a wedged driver by reporting
-EIO from DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_CONTEXT_CREATE.
This came up in considering how to handle context recovery from
userspace. There we wish to create a new context after the original is
banned (the clients opts into the no recovery after reset strategy) in
order to rebuild the mesa context from scratch. In doing so, if the
device was wedged and not the context banned, we would fall into a loop
of permanently trying to recreate the context and never making forward
progress. This patch would inform the client that we are no longer able
to create a context, and the client would have no choice but to abort
(or at least inform its callers about the lost device for anv).

Currently, we accumulate each time a context hangs the GPU, offset
against the number of requests it submits, and if that score exceeds a
certain threshold, we ban that context from submitting any more requests
(cancelling any work in flight). In contrast, we use a simple timer on
the file, that if we see more than a 9 hangs faster than 60s apart in
total across all of its contexts, we will ban the client from creating
any more contexts. This leads to a confusing situation where the file
may be banned before the context, so lets use a simple timer scheme for
each.
If the context submits 3 hanging requests within a 120s period, declare
it forbidden to ever send more requests.
This has the advantage of not being easy to repair by simply sending
empty requests, but has the disadvantage that if the context is idle
then it is forgiven. However, if the context is idle, it is not
disrupting the system, but a hog can evade the request counting and
cause much more severe disruption to the system.
Updating ban_score from request retirement is dubious as the retirement
is purposely not in sync with request submission (i.e. we try and batch
retirement to reduce overhead and avoid latency on submission), which
leads to surprising situations where we can forgive a hang immediately
due to a backlog of requests from before the hang being retired
afterwards.

Some clients, such as mesa, may only emit minimal incremental batches
that rely on the logical context state from previous batches. They know
that recovery is impossible after a hang as their required GPU state is
lost, and that each in flight and subsequent batch will hang (resetting
the context image back to default perpetuating the problem).
To avoid getting into the state in the first place, we can allow clients
to opt out of automatic recovery and elect to ban any guilty context
following a hang. This prevents the continual stream of hangs and allows
the client to recreate their context and rebuild the state from scratch.
v2: Prefer calling it recoverable rather than unrecoverable.

Looking forward, we need to break the struct_mutex dependency on
i915_gem_active. In the meantime, external use of i915_gem_active is
quite beguiling, little do new users suspect that it implies a barrier
as each request it tracks must be ordered wrt the previous one. As one
of many, it can be used to track activity across multiple timelines, a
shared fence, which fits our unordered request submission much better. We
need to steer external users away from the singular, exclusive fence
imposed by i915_gem_active to i915_active instead. As part of that
process, we move i915_gem_active out of i915_request.c into
i915_active.c to start separating the two concepts, and rename it to
i915_active_request (both to tie it to the concept of tracking just one
request, and to give it a longer, less appealing name).
