Very bad idea, when sequence numbers change, you always want to wake up 
the whole fence queue here.

Do I get that right that you rely on IRQs to be enabled and working 
here? Cause that would be a quite bad idea from the conceptual side.

Yes, and the callers of this function call wake_up_all or wake_up_all_locked themselves, based on the return value..

For cross-device synchronization it would be nice to have working irqs, it allows signalling fences faster,
and it allows for callbacks on completion to be called. For internal usage it's no more required than it was before.

And as I said that's a very bad idea. The fence processing shouldn't be 
called with any locks held and should be self responsible for activating 
any waiters.

That's a big NAK.

The fence processing is actually very fine tuned to avoid IRQs and as 
far as I can see you just leave them enabled by decrementing the atomic 
from IRQ context. Additional to that we need allot of special handling 
in case of a hardware lockup here, which isn't done if you abuse the 
fence interface like this.

Also your approach of leaking the IRQ context outside of the driver is a 
very bad idea from the conceptual side. Please don't modify the fence 
interface at all and instead use the wait functions already exposed by 
radeon_fence.c. If you need some kind of signaling mechanism then wait 
inside a workqueue instead.

The call point (enable_signaling) only needs to know whether its own counter has passed or not. This prevents the race where the counter
has elapsed, but the irq was not yet enabled.

I don't really care if enable_signaling updates last_seq or not, it only needs to check if it's own fence has been signaled after enabling sw_irqs.

I think it's not needed to leave the irq enabled, it's a leftover from when I was debugging the mac and no interrupt occurred at all.

Please don't modify the fence interface at all and instead use the wait functions already exposed by radeon_fence.c. If you need some kind of signaling mechanism then wait inside a workqueue instead.
The fence takes up the role of a single shot workqueue here. Manually resetting the counter and calling wake_up_all would end up waking all active fences, there's no special handling needed inside radeon for this.
The fence api does provide a synchronous wait function, but this causes a stall of whomever waits on it. When I was testing this with intel I used the fence callback to poke a register in i915, this allowed it to not block until it hits the wait op in the command stream, and even then only if the callback was not called first.

It's documented that the callbacks can be called from any context and will be called with irqs disabled, so nothing scary should be done. The kernel provides enough debug mechanisms to find any violators.
PROVE_LOCKING and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP for example.

Yeah that's actually the point here, you NEED to activate ALL fences, 
otherwise the fence handling inside the driver won't work.

> The fence api does provide a synchronous wait function, but this causes a stall of whomever waits on it.

Which is perfectly fine. What actually is the use case of not stalling a 
process who wants to wait for something?

No thanks, we even abandoned that concept internal in the driver. Please 
use the blocking wait functions instead.

It's done in a lazy fashion. If there's no need for an activated fence the interrupt will not be enabled.

Does radeon call ttm_bo_wait on all bo's before doing a command submission? No? Why should other drivers do that..

No, this just stalls all gpu's that share a bo.

The idea is to provide a standardized api so bo's can be synchronized without stalling. The first step to this is ww_mutex.
If this lock is shared between multiple gpu's the same object can be reserved between multiple devices without causing
a deadlock with circular dependencies. With some small patches it's possible to do this already between multiple drivers
that use ttm. ttm_bo_reserve, ttm_bo_unreserve and all the other code dealing with ttm reservations have been converted
to use ww_mutex locking.

Fencing is the next step. When all buffers are locked a callback should be added to any previous fence, and a single new fence
signaling completion of the command submission should be placed on all locked objects. Because the common path is that no
objects are shared, the callback and FIFO stalling will only be needed for dma-bufs. When all callbacks have fired the FIFO can be
unblocked. This prevents having to sync the gpu to the cpu. If a bo is submitted to 1 gpu, and then immediately to another it will not
stall unless needed. For example in a optimus configuration an application could copy a rendered frame from VRAM to a shared
dma-buf (xorg's buffer), then have Xorg copying it again (on intel's gpu) from the dma-buf to a framebuffer .

Sure it does if hardware synchronization isn't supported.

Yeah, that's the same concept we used to have for multiple rings, to 
avoid stalling if a buffer is currently used in a different part of the 
GPU than the current command submission wants it to. After allot of 
internal discussion we came to the conclusion that it just doesn't worth 
the effort.

Have you thought over all the consequences that are implied by having a 
serialized stream of command submissions?

When a buffer is in use by another device you basically have only two 
options: Either block for the buffer to become unused or use a hardware 
method (semaphores) to sync up your operations. Of course you can 
optimize by using a multiple reader / single writers model, but for this 
you basically just have to teach ttm that there might be more than one 
fence for each bo.

Anyway those things are only optimizations, and in the end it always 
comes down to blocking the command submission if there is no other way 
of hardware synchronization and I absolutely don't see any reason why we 
shouldn't do this with just a normal blocking call to a waitqueue.

Christian.
