[00/22] XeKmd basic SVM support

Message

Zeng, Oak Dec. 21, 2023, 4:37 a.m. UTC

This is the very basic SVM (shared virtual memory) support in XeKmd
driver. SVM allows the programmer to use a shaed virtual address space
between CPU program and GPU program. It abstracts away from the user
the location of the backing memory in a mixed CPU and GPU programming
environment.

This work is based on previous I915 SVM implementation mainly from
Niranjana Vishwanathapura and Oak Zeng, which has never been upstreamed
before. This is our first attempt to upstream this work.

This implementation depends on Linux kernel HMM support. See some key
designs in patch #1.

We are aware there are currently some effort to implement SVM using
GMEM(generalized memory management,
see https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/[e-mail]/)
We are open to this new method if it can be merged to upstream kernel.
Before that, we think it is still safer to support SVM through HMM.

This series only has basic SVM support. We think it is better to post
this series earlier so we can get more eyes on it. Below are the works
that is planned or ongoing:

*Testing: We are working on the igt test right now. Some part of this
series, especially the gpu page table update(patch #7, #8) and migration
function (patch #10) need some debug to make it work.

*Virtual address range based memory attributes and hints: We plan to
expose uAPI for user to set memory attributes such as preferred location
or migration granularity etc to a virtual address range. This is
important to tune SVM performance.

*GPU vram eviction: One key design choice of this series is, SVM
layer allocate GPU memory directly from drm buddy allocator, instead
of from xe vram manager. There is no BO (buffer object) concept
in this implementation. The key benefit of this approach is we can
migrate memory at page granularity easily. This also means SVM bypasses
TTM's memory eviction logic. But we want the SVM memory and BO driver
memory can mutually evicted each other. We have some prove of concept
work to rework TTM resource manager for this purpose, see
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/[e-mail]/
We will continue work on that series then implement SVM's eviction
function based on the concept of shared drm LRU list b/t SVM and TTM/BO
driver.
