If the user requires patching of their batch or auxiliary buffers, we currently make the alterations on the cpu. If they are active on the GPU at the time, we wait under the struct_mutex for them to finish executing before we rewrite the contents. This happens if shared relocation trees are used between different contexts with separate address space (and the buffers then have different addresses in each), the 3D state will need to be adjusted between execution on each context. However, we don't need to use the CPU to do the relocation patching, as we could queue commands to the GPU to perform it and use fences to serialise the operation with the current activity and future - so the operation on the GPU appears just as atomic as performing it immediately. Performing the relocation rewrites on the GPU is not free, in terms of pure throughput, the number of relocations/s is about halved - but more importantly so is the time under the struct_mutex. v2: Break out the request/batch allocation for clearer error flow. v3: A few asserts to ensure rq ordering is maintained Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
