Determine the possible coherent map type based on object location,
and if target has llc or if user requires an always coherent
mapping.

Seems this patch is doing two things.

First it is adding lmem support to this helper by always returning WC 
for lmem objects.

Secondly it is introducing an idea of "always coherent" in a helper 
called i915_coherent_map_type. Could someone explain what is coherent vs 
always coherent?

And also, why is always coherent happy with WB? Sounds counter intuitive 
to me.

Tvrtko

All this does is try to keep the existing behaviour intact, whilst
also ensuring that all lmem objects are mapped using only WC, no
matter what. The always_coherent=true thing is for the existing places
where we sometimes map the object using WB, without first considering
whether the device has the fast shared LLC vs snooping. Yes, it's
slightly ugly :)

@always_coherent - If true we should always try to map the object
using WB. If false we should only map as WB if the device supports the
fast shared LLC, in the case of snooped devices we will map use WC.
Note that If the resource is lmem then we will always map as WC,
regardless of the value of always_coherent, since that's all we
currently support.

Maybe the naming is poor?

Maybe just confusing to me, not sure yet.

So always_coherent is not about how the callers wants to use it, but 
about platform knowledge? Or a performance concern for LLC vs snooping 
cases? Does WB works (coherently) on snooping platforms?

The always_coherent=true is for the existing callers that want WB, 
regardless of LLC vs snooping.

The other callers use the existing i915_coherent_map_type() which only 
gives out WB for LLC platforms.

AFAIK, LLC vs snooping should offer the same in terms of coherency, but 
in terms of performance the shared LLC is much faster, and so for 
snooping platforms we choose to not enable WB everywhere.

On top of that we now have lmem, but for that we only allow WC. This 
patch just rolls all of that into one helper, while keeping the existing 
behaviour unchanged.

If we drop the flag/helper thing, then we need something like:

type = WB;
if (i915_gem_object_is_lmem(obj))
     type = WC;

vaddr = i915_gem_object_pin_map(obj, type);

In all the places where we currently do:

vaddr = i915_gem_object_pin_map(obj, WB);

Where obj can be lmem, so ctx, ring, guc etc. Is that better or worse? 
The existing i915_coherent_map_type() callers should work as-is, since 
DG1 is snooped. And this patch just extends that to cover all cases.

Perhaps we need a new helper instead? Maybe you have a better idea?

Not yet. Would it make sense to put something in kerneldoc about when 
callers might choose always_coherent true vs false? In terms of expected 
usage (frequency, simplicity?) and any rules with regards when callers 
need to worry about flushing/ordering when there are mixed read and writes?

Hmmm, looking at this again, maybe for now we should just go with:

type = WB;
if (i915_gem_object_is_lmem(obj))
       type = WC;

vaddr = i915_gem_object_pin_map(obj, type)

Which is way less confusing, plus there are only a handful of places 
where we need this, so doesn't seem too bad?

Alternatively, we could wrap that in something like:

/* Returns WB for system memory, or WC for local memory */
void *i915_gem_object_pin_map_default(obj);

Thoughts?

I went and looked at the use sites to try and figure it out.

First thing, the bool always_coherent story is only relevant when we 
decide to place some object in system memory. Otherwise mapping is 
always WC so I guess our code needs to handle it anyway. Well, if the 
assumption is that we can change the location of the objects and it all 
just keeps working? Or that is not the goal?

Let see about the users (ignoring selftests):

1) lrc_reg_state and ring; always_coherent=false

Update frequency medium and mostly write from the CPU side.

They say always_coherent=false - which means they have to handle being 
given a WC mapping anyway.

What is the benefit of ever selecting WB here?

2) Engine status page; always_coherent=true

Frequently read and written from the CPU and GPU so cost of snooping is 
therefore fine? Apart from having to be ready to deal with WC anyway.

3) dbg_poison_ce; always_coherent=true

Writes to lrc_reg_state once - meh. Could just as well always ask for WC.

4) intel_guc_allocate_and_map_vma; always_coherent=true

This one has three users:

a) guc_stage_desc_pool_create stage_desc_pool_vaddr

This one seems write once at init.

b) intel_guc_ct_init

Use for CT communication so similar to CSB on engine status page in 
principle. But code also has to deal with WC when object is in lmem.

c) intel_guc_ads_create

CPU appears to only write on init and GPU reset.

5) intel_huc_rsa_data_create; always_coheret=true

Called from intel_huc_init so it appears write once from CPU. Not sure 
why it would need a coherent mapping if that is correct.

I think this exercise left me equally confused. Because flushing and 
read-write ordering rules are different between WB and WC. And code 
which accesses all these mappings either has to know which one is in 
use, or does not care. For the latter case we have to be sure about for 
every path.

The write on init / reset ones are easy enough and it doesn't really 
matter for them to use the coherent helper.

Lrc_reg_state as well I think can be WC with explicit flushing - it has 
to on lmem, no?

This leaves the status page (CSB, etc) and GuC CT. Those are frequent 
R/W but also code has to be able to handle WC so what is the benefit of 
WB? It ends up faster than if it was WC, considering explicit 
flushes/barriers are still in there?

I guess your concern is that mapping as WC has different semantics,
and that might somehow break the caller?

Users of pin_map() are generally meant to call flush_map() where
appropriate, which should do the right thing for us. For WC it only
needs to flush the wcb. For WB it's more complicated since that
depends on if the object is considered coherent or not, if it is then
we don't need to do anything, otherwise we need to clflush.

Also note that we If we just map the buffer as WB, that by itself
doesn't magically enable snooping for the pages AFAIK. We still have
to tell the GPU that these pages are meant to be coherent, which we
always do for LLC platforms I think, since the shared LLC is
considered fast, whereas on snooping platforms, we don't enable this
by default, and have this as CACHE_NONE instead(see shmem_object_init
for example), and incur the cost of additional clflushing.  Doing an
explicit i915_gem_object_set_coherency(I915_CACHE_LLC) I think will
mark the object as coherent for us. I think there are also some
matching GTT bits for caching.

Also for DG1 you apparently can't disable snooping, as per what Daniel
was saying in another thread.

I doubt it has to be, since the GPU still just accesses it through the GTT.

No idea for GuC, but for the hwsp it's still in system memory, and is
WB, even for discrete. Chris measured this to be more performant with
our execlists submission path than say just sticking it in lmem, and
mapping it as WC.

I just re-freshed my memory on when the write combine buffer gets 
flushed and realized uncached reads are also an implicit flush. So my 
complications from earlier reply were purely mine and I think you can 
proceed with the patch as is.
