With the possibility of addition of many more number of rings in future,
the drm_i915_private structure could bloat as an array, of type
intel_engine_cs, is embedded inside it.
struct intel_engine_cs engine[I915_NUM_ENGINES];
Though this is still fine as generally there is only a single instance of
drm_i915_private structure used, but not all of the possible rings would be
enabled or active on most of the platforms. Some memory can be saved by
allocating intel_engine_cs structure only for the enabled/active engines.
Currently the engine/ring ID is kept static and dev_priv->engine[] is simply
indexed using the enums defined in intel_engine_id.
To save memory and continue using the static engine/ring IDs, 'engine' is
defined as an array of pointers.
struct intel_engine_cs *engine[I915_NUM_ENGINES];
dev_priv->engine[engine_ID] will be NULL for disabled engine instances.
There is a text size reduction of 928 bytes, from 1028200 to 1027272, for
i915.o file (but for i915.ko file text size remain same as 1193131 bytes).
v2:
- Remove the engine iterator field added in drm_i915_private structure,
instead pass a local iterator variable to the for_each_engine**
macros. (Chris)
- Do away with intel_engine_initialized() and instead directly use the
NULL pointer check on engine pointer. (Chris)
v3:
- Remove for_each_engine_id() macro, as the updated macro for_each_engine()
can be used in place of it. (Chris)
- Protect the access to Render engine Fault register with a NULL check, as
engine specific init is done later in Driver load sequence.
v4:
- Use !!dev_priv->engine[VCS] style for the engine check in getparam. (Chris)
- Kill the superfluous init_engine_lists().
v5:
- Cleanup the intel_engines_init() & intel_engines_setup(), with respect to
allocation of intel_engine_cs structure. (Chris)
v6:
- Rebase.
v7:
- Optimize the for_each_engine_masked() macro. (Chris)
- Change the type of 'iter' local variable to enum intel_engine_id. (Chris)
- Rebase.
v8: Rebase.
v9: Rebase.
v10:
- For index calculation use engine ID instead of pointer based arithmetic in
intel_engine_sync_index() as engine pointers are not contiguous now (Chris)
- For appropriateness, rename local enum variable 'iter' to 'id'. (Joonas)
- Use for_each_engine macro for cleanup in intel_engines_init() and remove
check for NULL engine pointer in cleanup() routines. (Joonas)
v11: Rebase.
