Commit Message

This adds the infrastructure for an execution context for GEM buffers
which is similar to the existing TTMs execbuf util and intended to replace
it in the long term.

The basic functionality is that we abstracts the necessary loop to lock
many different GEM buffers with automated deadlock and duplicate handling.

v2: drop xarray and use dynamic resized array instead, the locking
    overhead is unnecessary and measurable.
v3: drop duplicate tracking, radeon is really the only one needing that.
v4: fixes issues pointed out by Danilo, some typos in comments and a
    helper for lock arrays of GEM objects.
v5: some suggestions by Boris Brezillon, especially just use one retry
    macro, drop loop in prepare_array, use flags instead of bool
v6: minor changes suggested by Thomas, Boris and Danilo
v7: minor typos pointed out by checkpatch.pl fixed

This construct of using a label as a value and goto to jump into a GNU
C statement expression is explicitly documented in GCC's manual [1] as
undefined behavior:

"Jumping into a statement expression with a computed goto (see Labels as
Values [2]) has undefined behavior. "

A recent change in clang [3] to prohibit this altogether points this out, so
builds using clang-17 and newer will break with this change applied:

  drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_exec_test.c:41:3: error: cannot jump from this indirect goto statement to one of its possible targets
     41 |                 drm_exec_retry_on_contention(&exec);

  drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_exec_test.c:39:2: note: jump enters a statement expression

It seems like if this construct works, it is by chance, although I am
not sure if there is another solution.

LKFT also noticed these build failures on arm and arm64 with clang nightly.

Thanks for looking into this problem.

+ * DOC: Overview
+ *
+ * This component mainly abstracts the retry loop necessary for locking
+ * multiple GEM objects while preparing hardware operations (e.g. command
+ * submissions, page table updates etc..).
+ *
+ * If a contention is detected while locking a GEM object the cleanup procedure
+ * unlocks all previously locked GEM objects and locks the contended one first

+ * After an object is locked fences slots can optionally be reserved on the

+ * A typical usage pattern should look like this::

+ *	struct drm_gem_object *obj;
+ *	struct drm_exec exec;
+ *	unsigned long index;
+ *	int ret;
+ *
+ *	drm_exec_init(&exec, DRM_EXEC_INTERRUPTIBLE_WAIT);
+ *	drm_exec_until_all_locked(&exec) {
+ *		ret = drm_exec_prepare_obj(&exec, boA, 1);
+ *		drm_exec_retry_on_contention(&exec);
+ *		if (ret)
+ *			goto error;
+ *
+ *		ret = drm_exec_prepare_obj(&exec, boB, 1);
+ *		drm_exec_retry_on_contention(&exec);
+ *		if (ret)
+ *			goto error;
+ *	}
