      drm/i915: Use HWS for seqno tracking everywhere · 1b7744e7
      Chris Wilson 提交于
      By using the same address for storing the HWS on every platform, we can
      remove the platform specific vfuncs and reduce the get-seqno routine to
      a single read of a cached memory location.
      
      v2: Fix semaphore_passed() to look at the signaling engine (not the
      waiter's)

      drm/i915: Spin after waking up for an interrupt · f69a02c9
      Chris Wilson 提交于
      When waiting for an interrupt (waiting for the engine to complete some
      work), we know we are the only waiter to be woken on this engine. We also
      know when the GPU has nearly completed our request (or at least started
      processing it), so after being woken and we detect that the GPU is
      active and working on our request, allow us the bottom-half (the first
      waiter who wakes up to handle checking the seqno after the interrupt) to
      spin for a very short while to reduce client latencies.
      
      The impact is minimal, there was an improvement to the realtime-vs-many
      clients case, but exporting the function proves useful later. However,
      it is tempting to adjust irq_seqno_barrier to include the spin. The
      problem is first ensuring that the "start-of-request" seqno is coherent
      as we use that as our basis for judging when it is ok to spin. If we
      could, spinning there could dramatically shorten some sleeps, and allow
      us to make the barriers more conservative to handle missed seqno writes
      on more platforms (all gen7+ are known to have the occasional issue, at
      least).

      drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd · 688e6c72
      Chris Wilson 提交于
      One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks
      all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime
      transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that
      each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after
      every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must
      do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the
      lucky one.
      
      Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and
      check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in
      order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken.
      Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the
      next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every
      process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then
      cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client
      is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed
      seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel.
      
      Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The
      benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a
      batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many
      concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that
      the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the
      number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much
      worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter
      for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency
      for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for
      many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this
      is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the
      concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the
      solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This
      appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from
      having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional
      wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of
      performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the
      incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than
      immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to
      wake the others.
      
      To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we
      could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler
      and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the
      interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU
      submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half
      every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the
      waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in
      the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the
      interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace,
      minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing
      contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long
      pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in
      realtime/high-priority waiters.
      
      v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the
      bottom-half.
      v3: Rename request members and tweak comments.
      v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half.
      v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on
      adding a new waiter.
      v6: Fix deciding when to force the timer to hide missing interrupts.
      v7: Move the bottom-half from the kthread to the first client process.
      v8: Reword a few comments
      v9: Break the busy loop when the interrupt is unmasked or has fired.
      v10: Comments, unnecessary churn, better debugging from Tvrtko
      v11: Wake all completed waiters on removing the current bottom-half to
      reduce the latency of waking up a herd of clients all waiting on the
      same request.
      v12: Rearrange missed-interrupt fault injection so that it works with
      igt/drv_missed_irq_hang
      v13: Rename intel_breadcrumb and friends to intel_wait in preparation
      for signal handling.
      v14: RCU commentary, assert_spin_locked
      v15: Hide BUG_ON behind the compiler; report on gem_latency findings.
      v16: Sort seqno-groups by priority so that first-waiter has the highest
      task priority (and so avoid priority inversion).
      v17: Add waiters to post-mortem GPU hang state.
      v18: Return early for a completed wait after acquiring the spinlock.
      Avoids adding ourselves to the tree if the is already complete, and
      skips the awkward question of why we don't do completion wakeups for
      waits earlier than or equal to ourselves.
      v19: Prepare for init_breadcrumbs to fail. Later patches may want to
      allocate during init, so be prepared to propagate back the error code.
