GVT request needs a manual mmio load/restore. Before GuC submit
a request, send notification to gvt for mmio loading. And after
the GuC finished this GVT request, notify gvt again for mmio
restore. This follows the usage when using execlists submission.

This is incorrect though. This is no better than just waiting for the
request, which is not enough since the idea is that you need to wait for
the context image to be completely written to memory before you read it.

The wait for the context image to be completely written will be done in the notification from the GVT, by checking the CSB. If put the wait here will made each i915 request to wait, which seems not necessary.

Urm, no. I hope you mean the wait will be on some other thread than
inside this interrupt handler.

The SCHEDULE_OUT means to stop GuC to submit another request before the current one is completed by GVT so GVT can manually restore the MMIO. So this irq handler should wait until SCHEDULE_OUT is completed. How it possible to make this irq handler to wait for another thread? From the current software architecture there is no other thread....

To make sure the context image is ready, GVT will poll CSB. If CSB is not in idle, just relax cpu and continue. In the real case, CSB is already idle before GVT to poll.

No. It is not acceptable to have any blocking here. Rather you delegate
the polling of CSB to a thread/worker that you kick off from this notify.

The major issue is that we should wait for the context image to be completely written to memory before GVT read it. I will double check if we are really reading from context image in this SCHEDULE_OUT event and return back later.

Hi Chris,

Had a discussion with Zhi, actually the context image is accessed from the workload_thread to update the guest context but not directly from the SCHEDULE_OUT event. So my previous comment is wrong and the CSB waiting should be in workload_thread instead of this IRQ handler.

Hi Chris, may I know if you still have concerns with the above comment? Would like to know if this is acceptable to i915.
