The reason why we did not enable preemption on Broadwater was due to missing GPGPU workarounds. Since this only applies to rcs0, only restrict rcs0 (and our global capabilities). While this does not affect exposing a preemption capability to userspace, it does affect our internal decisions on whether to use timeslicing and semaphores between individual engines.

We use the completion of the last active breadcrumb to retire the requests along a timeline. This is purely opportunistic as nothing guarantees that any particular timeline is terminated by a breadcrumb; except for parking the engine where we explicitly add a breadcrumb so that we park quickly and do an explicit retire upon signaling to reduce the latency dramatically (avoiding a retire worker roundtrip). With scheduling, we anticipate retiring completed timelines as a matter of course. Performing the same action from inside the breadcrumbs is intended to provide similar functionality for legacy ringbuffer submission.

Before we mark the virtual engine as no longer inflight, flush any ongoing signaling that may be using the ce->signal_link along the previous breadcrumbs. On switch to a new physical engine, that link will be inserted into the new set of breadcrumbs, causing confusion to an ongoing iterator. This patch undoes a last minute mistake introduced into commit bab0557c ("drm/i915/gt: Remove virtual breadcrumb before transfer"), whereby instead of unconditionally applying the flush, it was only applied if the request itself was going to be reused. v2: Generalise and cancel all remaining ce->signals Fixes: bab0557c ("drm/i915/gt: Remove virtual breadcrumb before transfer") Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Andi Shyti <andi.shyti@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210108204026.20682-4-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk

In the next^W future patch, we remove the strict priority system and continuously re-evaluate the relative priority of tasks. As such we need to enable the timeslice whenever there is more than one context in the pipeline. This simplifies the decision and removes some of the tweaks to suppress timeslicing, allowing us to lift the timeslice enabling to a common spot at the end of running the submission tasklet. One consequence of the suppression is that it was reducing fairness between virtual engines on an over saturated system; undermining the principle for timeslicing. v2: Commentary v3: Commentary for the right cancel_timer() v4: Add tracing for why we need a timeslice Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2802 Testcase: igt/gem_exec_balancer/fairslice Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andi Shyti <andi.shyti@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210107132322.28373-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk

In generating the reference LRC, we want a page-aligned address for simplicity in computing the offsets within. This then shares the computation for the HW LRC which is mapped and so page aligned, making the comparison straightforward. It seems that kmalloc(4k) is not always returning from a 4k-aligned slab cache (which would give us a page aligned address) so force alignment by explicitly allocating a page.

Now that the tasklet completely controls scheduling of the requests, and we postpone scheduling out the old requests, we can keep a hanging virtual request bound to the engine on which it hung, and remove it from te queue. On release, it will be returned to the same engine and remain in its queue until it is scheduled; after which point it will become eligible for transfer to a sibling. Instead, we could opt to resubmit the request along the virtual engine on unhold, making it eligible for load balancing immediately -- but that seems like a pointless optimisation for a hanging context.

Having recognised that we do not change the sibling until we schedule out, we can then defer the decision to resubmit the virtual engine from the unwind of the active queue to scheduling out of the virtual context. This improves our resilence in virtual engine scheduling, and should eliminate the rare cases of gem_exec_balance failing. By keeping the unwind order intact on the local engine, we can preserve data dependency ordering while doing a preempt-to-busy pass until we have determined the new ELSP. This means that if we try to timeslice between a virtual engine and a data-dependent ordinary request, the pair will maintain their relative ordering and we will avoid the resubmission, cancelling the timeslicing until further change. The dilemma though is that we then may end up in a situation where the 'demotion' of the virtual request to an ordinary request in the engine queue results in filling the ELSP[] with virtual requests instead of spreading the load across the engines. To compensate for this, we mark each virtual request and refuse to resubmit a virtual request in the secondary ELSP slots, thus forcing subsequent virtual requests to be scheduled out after timeslicing. By delaying the decision until we schedule out, we will avoid unnecessary resubmission.

The issue with stale virtual breadcrumbs remain.

Inside schedule_out, we do extra work upon idling the context, such as updating the runtime, kicking off retires, kicking virtual engines. However, if we are in a series of processing single requests per contexts, we may find ourselves scheduling out the context, only to immediately schedule it back in during dequeue. This is just extra work that we can avoid if we keep the context marked as inflight across the dequeue. This becomes more significant later on for minimising virtual engine misses.

Once a virtual engine has been bound to a sibling, it will remain bound until we finally schedule out the last active request. We can not rebind the context to a new sibling while it is inflight as the context save will conflict, hence we wait. As we cannot then use any other sibliing while the context is inflight, only kick the bound sibling while it inflight and upon scheduling out the kick the rest (so that we can swap engines on timeslicing if the previously bound engine becomes oversubscribed).

Rather than having special case code for opportunistically calling process_csb() and performing a direct submit while holding the engine spinlock for submitting the request, simply call the tasklet directly. This allows us to retain the direct submission path, including the CS draining to allow fast/immediate submissions, without requiring any duplicated code paths, and most importantly greatly simplifying the control flow by removing reentrancy. This will enable us to close a few races in the virtual engines in the next few patches.
