When using RCU lookup for the request, commit 0eafec6d ("drm/i915:
Enable lockless lookup of request tracking via RCU"), we acknowledge that
we may race with another thread that could have reallocated the request.
In order for the first thread not to blow up, the second thread must not
clear the request completed before overwriting it. In the RCU lookup, we
allow for the engine/seqno to be replaced but we do not allow for it to
be zeroed.

The choice we make is to either add extra checking to the RCU lookup, or
embrace the inherent races (as intended). It is more complicated as we
need to manually clear everything we depend upon being zero initialised,
but we benefit from not emiting the memset() to clear the entire
frequently allocated structure (that memset turns up in throughput
profiles). And at the same time, the lookup remains flexible for future
adjustments.

v2: Old style LRC requires another variable to be initialize. (The
danger inherent in not zeroing everything.)
v3: request->batch also needs to be cleared
v4: signaling.tsk is no long used unset, but pid still exists

When we force the cleanup after a GPU hang, we want to retire all
requests, or else we may leak them if truly wedged (and the GPU never
advances again). Converting to the active request helpers had the issue
of doing the check against busyness before reporting the request, so if
we claim the GPU had hung but this engine hadn't we could potential skip
the request cleanup - triggering the self-check BUG.

Since we are not concerned with userspace racing itself with set-tiling
(the order is indeterminant even if we take a lock), then we can safely
read back the single obj->tiling_mode and do the static lookup of
swizzle mode without having to take a lock.

get-tiling is reasonably frequent due to the back-channel passing around
of tiling parameters in DRI2/DRI3.

v2: Make tiling_mode a full unsigned int so that we can trivially use it

We don't need to incur the overhead of checking whether the object is
pinned prior to changing its madvise. If the object is pinned, the
madvise will not take effect until it is unpinned and so we cannot free
the pages being pointed at by hardware. Marking a pinned object with
allocated pages as DONTNEED will not trigger any undue warnings. The check
is therefore superfluous, and by removing it we can remove a linear walk
over all the vma the object has.

Still despite it being an overzealous check, that error code is part of

With a bit of care (and leniency) we can iterate over the object and
wait for previous rendering to complete with judicial use of atomic
reference counting. The ABI requires us to ensure that an active object
is eventually flushed (like the busy-ioctl) which is guaranteed by our
management of requests (i.e. everything that is submitted to hardware is
flushed in the same request). All we have to do is ensure that we can
detect when the requests are complete for reporting when the object is
idle (without triggering ETIME), locklessly - this is handled by
i915_gem_active_wait_unlocked().

The impact of this is actually quite small - the return to userspace
following the wait was already lockless and so we don't see much gain in
latency improvement upon completing the wait. What we do achieve here is
completing an already finished wait without hitting the struct_mutex,
our hold is quite short and so we are typically just a victim of
contention rather than a cause - but it is still one less contention
point!

If we make the observation that mmap-offsets are only released when we
free an object, we can then deduce that the shrinker only creates free
space in the mmap arena indirectly by flushing the request list and
freeing expired objects. If we combine this with the lockless
vma-manager and lockless idling, we can avoid taking our big struct_mutex
until we need to actually free the requests.

One side-effect is that we defer the madvise checking until we need the
pages (i.e. the fault handler). This brings us into line with the other
delayed checks (and madvise in general).

The principal motivation for this was to try and eliminate the

may be an indirect lockdep cycle between cpu_hotplug (i.e. suspend) and
struct_mutex via the stop_machine().) For the moment, enabling last
request tracking for the engine, allows us to do busyness checking and
waiting without requiring the struct_mutex - which is useful in its own
right.

As a side-effect of having a robust means for tracking engine busyness,
we can replace our other busyness heuristic, that of comparing against
the last submitted seqno. For paranoid reasons, we have a semi-ordered
check of that seqno inside the hangchecker, which we can now improve to
an ordered check of the engine's busyness (removing a locked xchg in the
process).

If we enable RCU for the requests (providing a grace period where we can
inspect a "dead" request before it is freed), we can allow callers to
carefully perform lockless lookup of an active request.

However, by enabling deferred freeing of requests, we can potentially
hog a lot of memory when dealing with tens of thousands of requests per
second - with a quick insertion of a synchronize_rcu() inside our
shrinker callback, that issue disappears.

v2: Currently, it is our responsibility to handle reclaim i.e. to avoid
hogging memory with the delayed slab frees. At the moment, we wait for a
grace period in the shrinker, and block for all RCU callbacks on oom.
Suggested alternatives focus on flushing our RCU callback when we have a
certain number of outstanding request frees, and blocking on that flush
after a second high watermark. (So rather than wait for the system to
run out of memory, we stop issuing requests - both are nondeterministic.)

Paul E. McKenney wrote:

Another approach is synchronize_rcu() after some largish number of
requests.  The advantage of this approach is that it throttles the
production of callbacks at the source.  The corresponding disadvantage
is that it slows things up.

Another approach is to use call_rcu(), but if the previous call_rcu()
is still in flight, block waiting for it.  Yet another approach is
the get_state_synchronize_rcu() / cond_synchronize_rcu() pair.  The
idea is to do something like this:

        cond_synchronize_rcu(cookie);
        cookie = get_state_synchronize_rcu();

You would of course do an initial get_state_synchronize_rcu() to
get things going.  This would not block unless there was less than
one grace period's worth of time between invocations.  But this
assumes a busy system, where there is almost always a grace period
in flight.  But you can make that happen as follows:

        cond_synchronize_rcu(cookie);
        cookie = get_state_synchronize_rcu();
        call_rcu(&my_rcu_head, noop_function);

Note that you need additional code to make sure that the old callback
has completed before doing a new one.  Setting and clearing a flag
with appropriate memory ordering control suffices (e.g,. smp_load_acquire()
and smp_store_release()).

v3: More comments on compiler and processor order of operations within
the RCU lookup and discover we can use rcu_access_pointer() here instead.

v4: Wrap i915_gem_active_get_rcu() to take the rcu_read_lock itself.

Just move it earlier so that we can use the companion nonblocking
version in a couple of more callsites without having to add a forward
declaration.

We are motivated to avoid using a bitfield for obj->active for a couple
of reasons. Firstly, we wish to document our lockless read of obj->active
using READ_ONCE inside i915_gem_busy_ioctl() and that requires an
integral type (i.e. not a bitfield). Secondly, gcc produces abysmal code
when presented with a bitfield and that shows up high on the profiles of
request tracking (mainly due to excess memory traffic as it converts
the bitfield to a register and back and generates frequent AGI in the
process).

v2: BIT, break up a long line in compute the other engines, new paint
for i915_gem_object_is_active (now i915_gem_object_get_active).

Rather than a mismash of struct drm_device *dev and struct
drm_i915_private *dev_priv being used freely within a function, be
consistent and only pass along dev_priv.

The individual bits inside obj->frontbuffer_bits are protected by each
plane->mutex, but the whole bitfield may be accessed by multiple KMS
operations simultaneously and so the RMW need to be under atomics.
However, for updating the single field we do not need to mandate that it
be under the struct_mutex, one more step towards its removal as the de
facto BKL.
