Vulkan VkFence semantics require that the application be able to perform a CPU wait on work which may not yet have been submitted. This is perfectly safe because the CPU wait has a timeout which will get triggered eventually if no work is ever submitted. This behavior is advantageous for multi-threaded workloads because, so long as all of the threads agree on what fences to use up-front, you don't have the extra cross-thread synchronization cost of thread A telling thread B that it has submitted its dependent work and thread B is now free to wait. Within a single process, this can be implemented in the userspace driver by doing exactly the same kind of tracking the app would have to do using posix condition variables or similar. However, in order for this to work cross-process (as is required by VK_KHR_external_fence), we need to handle this in the kernel. This commit adds a WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT flag to DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_WAIT which instructs the IOCTL to wait for the syncobj to have a non-null fence and then wait on the fence. Combined with DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_RESET, you can easily get the Vulkan behavior. v2: - Fix a bug in the invalid syncobj error path - Unify the wait-all and wait-any cases v3: - Unify the timeout == 0 case a bit with the timeout > 0 case - Use wait_event_interruptible_timeout v4: - Use proxy fence v5: - Revert to a combination of v2 and v3 - Don't use proxy fences - Don't use wait_event_interruptible_timeout because it just adds an extra layer of callbacks Signed-off-by: Jason Ekstrand <jason@jlekstrand.net> Cc: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
