I think we need to be cleare here when dma_fence_signal can be called: - for a sw-only fence (i.e. created with dma_fence_create) dma_fence_signal _must_ be called under all circumstances. - for any other fences, dma_fence_signal may be called, but it _must_ be called once the ->enable_signalling func has been called and return 0 (i.e. success). - it may be called only _once_. > + */ > +int dma_fence_signal(struct dma_fence *fence) > +{ > + unsigned long flags; > + int ret = -EINVAL; > + > + if (WARN_ON(!fence)) > + return -EINVAL; > + > + spin_lock_irqsave(&fence->event_queue.lock, flags); > + if (!fence->signaled) { > + fence->signaled = true; > + __wake_up_locked_key(&fence->event_queue, TASK_NORMAL, > + &fence->event_queue); > + ret = 0; > + } else > + WARN(1, "Already signaled"); > + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&fence->event_queue.lock, flags); > + > + return ret; > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dma_fence_signal); > + > +static void release_fence(struct kref *kref) > +{ > + struct dma_fence *fence = > + container_of(kref, struct dma_fence, refcount); > + > + BUG_ON(waitqueue_active(&fence->event_queue)); > + > + if (fence->ops->release) > + fence->ops->release(fence); > + > + kfree(fence); > +} > + > +/** > + * dma_fence_put - decreases refcount of the fence > + * @fence: [in] fence to reduce refcount of > + */ > +void dma_fence_put(struct dma_fence *fence) > +{ > + if (WARN_ON(!fence)) > + return; > + kref_put(&fence->refcount, release_fence); > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dma_fence_put); > + > +/** > + * dma_fence_get - increases refcount of the fence > + * @fence: [in] fence to increase refcount of > + */ > +void dma_fence_get(struct dma_fence *fence) > +{ > + if (WARN_ON(!fence)) > + return; > + kref_get(&fence->refcount); > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dma_fence_get); > + > +static int check_signaling(struct dma_fence *fence) > +{ > + bool enable_signaling = false, signaled; > + unsigned long flags; > + > + spin_lock_irqsave(&fence->event_queue.lock, flags); > + signaled = fence->signaled; > + if (!signaled && !fence->needs_sw_signal) > + enable_signaling = fence->needs_sw_signal = true; > + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&fence->event_queue.lock, flags); > + > + if (enable_signaling) { > + int ret; > + > + /* At this point, if enable_signaling returns any error > + * a wakeup has to be performanced regardless. > + * -ENOENT signals fence was already signaled.

I don't quite like this, I think we should keep the styl of all other wait_*_timeout functions and pass the arg as timeout in jiffies (and also the same return semantics). Otherwise well have funny code that needs to handle return values differently depending upon whether it waits upon a dma_fence or a native object (where it would us the wait_*_timeout functions directly). Also, I think we should add the non-_timeout variants, too, just for completeness. > + * > + * Returns 0 on success, -EBUSY if a timeout occured, > + * -ERESTARTSYS if the wait was interrupted by a signal. > + */ > +int dma_fence_wait(struct dma_fence *fence, bool intr, unsigned long timeout) > +{ > + unsigned long cur; > + int ret; > + > + if (WARN_ON(!fence)) > + return -EINVAL; > + > + cur = jiffies; > + if (time_after_eq(cur, timeout)) > + return -EBUSY; > + > + timeout -= cur; > + > + ret = check_signaling(fence); > + if (ret == -ENOENT) > + return 0; > + else if (ret) > + return ret; > + > + if (intr) > + ret = wait_event_interruptible_timeout(fence->event_queue, > + fence->signaled, > + timeout); We have a race here, since fence->signaled is proctected by fenc->event_queu.lock. There's a special variant of the wait_event macros that automatically drops a spinlock at the right time, which would fit here. Again, like for the callback function I think you then need to open-code check_signalling to avoid taking the spinlock twice. > + else > + ret = wait_event_timeout(fence->event_queue, > + fence->signaled, timeout); > + > + if (ret > 0) > + return 0; > + else if (!ret) > + return -EBUSY; > + else > + return ret; > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dma_fence_wait); > + > +static int sw_enable_signaling(struct dma_fence *fence) > +{ > + /* dma_fence_create sets needs_sw_signal, > + * so this should never be called > + */ > + WARN_ON_ONCE(1); > + return 0; > +} > + > +static const struct dma_fence_ops sw_fence_ops = { > + .enable_signaling = sw_enable_signaling, > +}; > + > +/** > + * dma_fence_create - create a simple sw-only fence > + * @priv: [in] the value to use for the priv member > + * > + * This fence only supports signaling from/to CPU.

We should combine this into one > critical section. Fwiw, Maarten had the same thought. I had suggested keep it clean/simple for now and get it working, and then go back and optimize after, so you can blame this one on me :-P I guess we could either just inline the check_signaling() code, but I didn't want to do that yet. Or we could call check_signaling() with the lock already hand, and just drop and re-acquire it around the relatively infrequent enable_signaling() callback. >> + >> + if (!ret) { >> + cb->base.flags = 0; >> + cb->base.func = __dma_fence_wake_func; >> + cb->base.private = priv; >> + cb->fence = fence; >> + cb->func = func; >> + __add_wait_queue(&fence->event_queue, &cb->base); >> + } >> + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&fence->event_queue.lock, flags); >> + >> + return ret; >> +} >> +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dma_fence_add_callback); > > I think for api completenes we should also have a > dma_fence_remove_callback function. We did originally but Maarten found it was difficult to deal with properly when the gpu's hang. I think his alternative was just to require the hung driver to signal the fence. I had kicked around the idea of a dma_fence_cancel() alternative to signal that could pass an error thru to the waiting driver.. although not sure if the other driver could really do anything differently at that point. >> + >> +/** >> + * dma_fence_wait - wait for a fence to be signaled >> + * >> + * @fence: [in] The fence to wait on >> + * @intr: [in] if true, do an interruptible wait >> + * @timeout: [in] absolute time for timeout, in jiffies. > > I don't quite like this, I think we should keep the styl of all other > wait_*_timeout functions and pass the arg as timeout in jiffies (and also > the same return semantics).

There's nothing that would prevent us from doing it in 1 go and do enable_signaling after adding the callback.

No, there is a very real reason I removed dma_fence_remove_callback. It is absolutely non-trivial to cancel it once added, since you have to deal with all kinds of race conditions.. See i915_gem_reset_requests in my git tree: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mlankhorst/linux/commit/?id=673c4b2550bc63ec134bca47a95dabd617a689ce This is the only way to do it completely deadlock/memory corruption free since you essentially have a locking inversion to avoid. I had it wrong the first 2 times too, even when I knew about a lot of the locking complications.

Well, the idea is not to cancel all callbacks, but just a single one, in case a driver wants to somehow abort the wait. E.g. when the own gpu dies I guess we should clear all these fence callbacks so that they can't clobber the hw state after the reset. > >> + > >> +/** > >> + * dma_fence_wait - wait for a fence to be signaled > >> + * > >> + * @fence: [in] The fence to wait on > >> + * @intr: [in] if true, do an interruptible wait > >> + * @timeout: [in] absolute time for timeout, in jiffies. > > > > I don't quite like this, I think we should keep the styl of all other > > wait_*_timeout functions and pass the arg as timeout in jiffies (and also > > the same return semantics).

This request here has the same reasons, essentially: If we offer a dma_fence wait api that matches the usual wait apis closely, it's harder to get their usage wrong. I know that i915 has some major cludge for a wait_seqno interface internally, but that's no reason to copy that approach ;-) Cheers, Daniel

Why can't we drop the kref _outside_ of the critical section protected by event_queue_lock?

I don't see how updating the jiffies_left timeout is that onerous, and in any case we can easily wrap that up into a little helper function, passing in an array of dma_fence pointers. Creating interfaces that differ from established kernel api patterns otoh isn't good imo. I.e. I want dma_fence_wait_bla to be a drop-in replacement for the corresponding wait_event_bla function/macro, which the same semantics for the timeout and return values. Differing in such things only leads to confusion when reading patches imo. > >> Also, I think we should add the non-_timeout variants, too, just for > >> completeness. > Would it be ok if timeout == 0 is special, then?

I do agree > that you would be crazy to do so, but not sure why we should restrict it. If we allow ->enable_signalling to be called from irq context, all spinlocks the driver grabs need to be irq safe. If we disallow this I guess some drivers could easily get by with plain spinlocks. And since we both agree that it would be crazy to call ->enable_signalling from irq context, I think we should bake this constrain into the interface. Cheers, Daniel

Also, I don't quite see > what jiffies wraparound issue there is? iirc, the problem was in dmabufmgr, in dmabufmgr_wait_completed_cpu().. with an absolute timeout, it could loop over all the fences without having to adjust the timeout for the elapsed time. Otherwise it had to adjust the timeout and keep track of when the timeout elapsed without confusing itself via rollover. BR, -R

Why can't we drop the kref > _outside_ of the critical section protected by event_queue_lock? Then you > pretty much have an open-coded version of dma_fence_callback_cancel in > there. The event_queue_lock protects 2 things: 1. Refcount to dma_fence won't drop to 0 if val->fences[i] != NULL Creator is supposed to keep a refcount until after dma_fence_signal returns. Adding a refcount you release in the callback won't help you here much. 2. Integrity of request->prime_list The list_del's are otherwise not serialized, leaving a corrupted list if 2 fences signal at the same time. kref_put in the non-free'ing case is simply an atomic decrement, so there's no measurable penalty for keeping it in the lock. So no, you could remove it from the kref_put, but val->fences[i] = NULL assignment would still need it, so there's no real penalty left for putting kref_put in the spinlock to also protect the second case without dropping/retaking lock. I'll add dma_fence_remove_callback that returns a bool of whether the callback was removed or not. In the latter case the fence already fired. However, if you call dma_fence_remove_callback twice, on the wrong fence, or without ever calling dma_fence_add_callback you'd undefined behavior, and there's no guarantee I could detech such situation, but with those constraints I think it could be useful to have. It sucks but prime_rm_lock is the inner lock so the only way not to deadlock is doing what I'm doing there, or not getting the hardware locked in the first place. > >> This is the only way to do it completely deadlock/memory corruption free >> since you essentially have a locking inversion to avoid.

A dma-fence can be attached to a buffer which is being filled or consumed by hw, to allow userspace to pass the buffer without waiting to another device. For example, userspace can call page_flip ioctl to display the next frame of graphics after kicking the GPU but while the GPU is still rendering. The display device sharing the buffer with the GPU would attach a callback to get notified when the GPU's rendering-complete IRQ fires, to update the scan-out address of the display, without having to wake up userspace. A dma-fence is transient, one-shot deal. It is allocated and attached to one or more dma-buf's. When the one that attached it is done, with the pending operation, it can signal the fence. + dma_fence_signal() The dma-buf-mgr handles tracking, and waiting on, the fences associated with a dma-buf. TODO maybe need some helper fxn for simple devices, like a display- only drm/kms device which simply wants to wait for exclusive fence to be signaled, and then attach a non-exclusive fence while scanout is in progress. The one pending on the fence can add an async callback: + dma_fence_add_callback() The callback can optionally be cancelled with remove_wait_queue() Or wait synchronously (optionally with timeout or interruptible): + dma_fence_wait() A default software-only implementation is provided, which can be used by drivers attaching a fence to a buffer when they have no other means for hw sync. But a memory backed fence is also envisioned, because it is common that GPU's can write to, or poll on some memory location for synchronization. For example: fence = dma_buf_get_fence(dmabuf); if (fence->ops == &bikeshed_fence_ops) { dma_buf *fence_buf; dma_bikeshed_fence_get_buf(fence, &fence_buf, &offset); ... tell the hw the memory location to wait on ... } else { /* fall-back to sw sync * / dma_fence_add_callback(fence, my_cb); } On SoC platforms, if some other hw mechanism is provided for synchronizing between IP blocks, it could be supported as an alternate implementation with it's own fence ops in a similar way. To facilitate other non-sw implementations, the enable_signaling callback can be used to keep track if a device not supporting hw sync is waiting on the fence, and in this case should arrange to call dma_fence_signal() at some point after the condition has changed, to notify other devices waiting on the fence. If there are no sw waiters, this can be skipped to avoid waking the CPU unnecessarily. The handler of the enable_signaling op should take a refcount until the fence is signaled, then release its ref. The intention is to provide a userspace interface (presumably via eventfd) later, to be used in conjunction with dma-buf's mmap support for sw access to buffers (or for userspace apps that would prefer to do their own synchronization). v1: Original v2: After discussion w/ danvet and mlankhorst on #dri-devel, we decided that dma-fence didn't need to care about the sw->hw signaling path (it can be handled same as sw->sw case), and therefore the fence->ops can be simplified and more handled in the core. So remove the signal, add_callback, cancel_callback, and wait ops, and replace with a simple enable_signaling() op which can be used to inform a fence supporting hw->hw signaling that one or more devices which do not support hw signaling are waiting (and therefore it should enable an irq or do whatever is necessary in order that the CPU is notified when the fence is passed). v3: Fix locking fail in attach_fence() and get_fence() v4: Remove tie-in w/ dma-buf.. after discussion w/ danvet and mlankorst we decided that we need to be able to attach one fence to N dma-buf's, so using the list_head in dma-fence struct would be problematic. v5: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Updated for dma-bikeshed-fence and dma-buf-manager. v6: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] I removed dma_fence_cancel_callback and some comments about checking if fence fired or not. This is broken by design. waitqueue_active during destruction is now fatal, since the signaller should be holding a reference in enable_signalling until it signalled the fence. Pass the original dma_fence_cb along, and call __remove_wait in the dma_fence_callback handler, so that no cleanup needs to be performed. v7: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Set cb->func and only enable sw signaling if fence wasn't signaled yet, for example for hardware fences that may choose to signal blindly. v8: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Tons of tiny fixes, moved __dma_fence_init to header and fixed include mess. dma-fence.h now includes dma-buf.h All members are now initialized, so kmalloc can be used for allocating a dma-fence.
