Define a new sub-class of 'MR' that uses dma-buf object for the memory
region. Define a new class 'DmaBuf' for dma-buf object allocation.

Wow, OK

Is it worth using ctypes here instead? Can you at least add a comment
before each pack specifying the 'struct XXX' this is following?

Does this work with normal Intel GPUs, like in a Laptop? AMD too?

Christian, I would be very happy to hear from you that this entire
work is good for AMD as well

Edward should look through this, but I'm glad to see something like
this

Thanks,
Jason

The ioctl call only accept a bytearray, not sure how to use ctypes here. I will add 
comments with the actual layout of the parameter structure.

Yes, the interface is generic and works with most GPUs. Works with AMD, too.

Please use /dev/dri/renderD* instead. That's the interface meant for
unpriviledged rendering access. card* is the legacy interface with
backwards compat galore, don't use.

Specifically if you do this on a gpu which also has display (maybe some
testing on a local developer machine, no idea ...) then you mess with
compositors and stuff.

Also wherever you copied this from, please also educate those teams that
using /dev/dri/card* for rendering stuff is a Bad Idea (tm)

Yeah no, don't allocate render buffers with create_dumb. Every time this
comes up I'm wondering whether we should just completely disable dma-buf
operations on these. Dumb buffers are explicitly only for software
rendering for display purposes when the gpu userspace stack isn't fully
running yet, aka boot splash.

And yes I know there's endless amounts of abuse of that stuff floating
around, especially on arm-soc/android systems.

I think the smallest generic interface for allocating gpu buffers which
are more useful than the stuff you get from CREATE_DUMB is gbm. That's
used by compositors to get bare metal opengl going on linux. Ofc Android
has gralloc for the same purpose, and cros has minigbm (which isn't the
same as gbm at all). So not so cool.

The other generic option is using vulkan, which works directly on bare
metal (without a compositor or anything running), and is cross vendor. So
cool, except not used for compute, which is generally the thing you want
if you have an rdma card.

Both gbm-egl/opengl and vulkan have extensions to hand you a dma-buf back,
properly.

Compute is the worst, because opencl is widely considered a mistake (maybe
opencl 3 is better, but nvidia is stuck on 1.2). The actually used stuff is
cuda (nvidia-only), rocm (amd-only) and now with intel also playing we
have xe (intel-only).

It's pretty glorious :-/

Also I think we discussed this already, but for actual p2p the intel
patches aren't in upstream yet. We have some internally, but with very
broken locking (in the process of getting fixed up, but it's taking time).

Cheers, Daniel

I enjoyed how the Intel version of CUDA is called "OneAPI" not "Third
API" ;)

Hopefuly xe compute won't leave a lot of half finished abandoned
kernel code like Xeon Phi did :(

Someone needs to say this test works on a real system with an
unpatched upstream driver.

I thought AMD had the needed parts merged?

/dev/dri/renderD* is not always available (e.g. for many iGPUs) and doesn't support
mode setting commands (including dumb_buf). The original intention here is to
have something to support the new tests added, not for general compute.

One alternative is to use the GEM_CREATE method which can be done via the renderD*
device, but the command is vendor specific, so the logic is a little bit more complex.

Again, would the "renderD* + GEM_CREATE" combination be an acceptable alternative? 
That would be much simpler than going with gbm and less dependency in setting up
the testing evrionment.

Not having dumb_buf available is a feature. So even more reasons to use
that.

Also note that amdgpu has killed card* access pretty much, it's for
modesetting only.

Yup. I guess the most minimal thing is to have a per-vendor (you can ask
drm for the driver name to match the right one) callback here to allocate
buffers correctly. Might be less churn than trying to pull in vulkan or
something like that.

It's at least what we're doing in igt for testing drm drivers (although
most of the generic igt tests for display, so dumb_buffer fallback is
available).

DRM_IOCTL_VERSION is the thing you'd need here, struct drm_version.name
has the field for figuring out which driver it is.

Also drivers without render node support won't ever be in the same system
as an rdma card and actually useful (because well they're either very old,
or display-only). So not an issue I think.

Yeah imo makes sense. It's a bunch more code for you to make it work on
i915 and amd, but it's not terrible. And avoids the dependencies, and also
avoids the abuse of card* and dumb buffers. Plus not really more complex,
you just need a table or something to match from the drm driver name to
the driver-specific buffer create function. Everything else stays the
same.

Also this opens up the door to force-test stuff like p2p in the future,
since at least on i915 you'll be able to ensure that a buffer is in vram
only.

Would be good if we also have a trick for amdgpu to make sure the buffer
stays in vram. I think there's some flags you can pass to the amdgpu
buffer create function. So maybe you want 2 testcases here, one allocates
the buffer in system memory, the other in vram for testing p2p
functionality. That kind of stuff isn't possible with dumb buffers.

If it is going to get more complicated please write it in C then. We
haven't done it yet, but you can link a C function through cython to
the python test script

If you struggle here I can probably work out the build system bits,
but it should not be too terrible

Thanks Daniel and Jason. I have started working in this direction. There should be no
technical obstacle here.

Just to be clear I mean write some 'get dma buf fd' function in C, not
the whole test

Yes, that's my understanding.
