* drm/nouveau: implement new VM_BIND uAPIDanilo Krummrich2023-08-041-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit provides the implementation for the new uapi motivated by the Vulkan API. It allows user mode drivers (UMDs) to: 1) Initialize a GPU virtual address (VA) space via the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_INIT ioctl for UMDs to specify the portion of VA space managed by the kernel and userspace, respectively. 2) Allocate and free a VA space region as well as bind and unbind memory to the GPUs VA space via the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND ioctl. UMDs can request the named operations to be processed either synchronously or asynchronously. It supports DRM syncobjs (incl. timelines) as synchronization mechanism. The management of the GPU VA mappings is implemented with the DRM GPU VA manager. 3) Execute push buffers with the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC ioctl. The execution happens asynchronously. It supports DRM syncobj (incl. timelines) as synchronization mechanism. DRM GEM object locking is handled with drm_exec. Both, DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND and DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC, use the DRM GPU scheduler for the asynchronous paths.

* drm/nouveau: new VM_BIND uAPI interfacesDanilo Krummrich2023-08-041-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit provides the interfaces for the new UAPI motivated by the Vulkan API. It allows user mode drivers (UMDs) to: 1) Initialize a GPU virtual address (VA) space via the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_INIT ioctl. UMDs can provide a kernel reserved VA area. 2) Bind and unbind GPU VA space mappings via the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND ioctl. 3) Execute push buffers with the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC ioctl. Both, DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND and DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC support asynchronous processing with DRM syncobjs as synchronization mechanism. The default DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND is synchronous processing, DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC supports asynchronous processing only.
