When trying to bring IS_ACTIVE to linux/kconfig.h I thought it wouldn't
provide much value just encapsulating it in a boolean context. So I also
added the support for handling undefined macros as the IS_ENABLED()
counterpart. However the feedback received from Masahiro Yamada was that
it is too ugly, not providing much value. And just wrapping in a boolean
context is too dumb - we could simply open code it.
As detailed in commit babaab2f47 ("drm/i915: Encapsulate kconfig
constant values inside boolean predicates"), the IS_ACTIVE macro was
added to workaround a compilation warning. However after checking again
our current uses of IS_ACTIVE it turned out there is only
1 case in which it triggers a warning in clang (due
-Wconstant-logical-operand) and 2 in smatch. All the others
can simply use the shorter version, without wrapping it in any macro.
So here I'm dialing all the way back to simply removing the macro. That
single case hit by clang can be changed to make the constant come first,
so it doesn't think it's mask:
- if (context && CONFIG_DRM_I915_FENCE_TIMEOUT)
+ if (CONFIG_DRM_I915_FENCE_TIMEOUT && context)
As talked with Dan Carpenter, that logic will be added in smatch as
well, so it will also stop warning about it.

In the case of a full GPU reset (e.g. because GuC has died or because
GuC's hang detection has been disabled), the driver can't rely on GuC
reporting the guilty context. Instead, the driver needs to scan all
active contexts and find one that is currently executing, as per the
execlist mode behaviour. In GuC mode, this scan is different to
execlist mode as the active request list is handled very differently.
Similarly, the request state dump in debugfs needs to be handled
differently when in GuC submission mode.
Also refactured some of the request scanning code to avoid duplication
across the multiple code paths that are now replicating it.

We receive notification of an engine reset from GuC at its

on the engine post-reset, as the resets are meant to be transparent,
further muddling our error state.
There is ongoing work to define an API for a GuC debug state dump. The

If we pipeline the PTE updates and then do the copy of those pages
within a single unpreemptible command packet, we can submit the copies
and leave them to be scheduled without having to synchronously wait
under a global lock. In order to manage migration, we need to
preallocate the page tables (and keep them pinned and available for use
at any time), causing a bottleneck for migrations as all clients must
contend on the limited resources. By inlining the ppGTT updates and
performing the blit atomically, each client only owns the PTE while in
use, and so we can reschedule individual operations however we see fit.
And most importantly, we do not need to take a global lock on the shared
vm, and wait until the operation is complete before releasing the lock
for others to claim the PTE for themselves.

On the virtual engines, we only use the intel_breadcrumbs for tracking

any associated interrupt handling, active requests are passed to a
physical engine and associated breadcrumb interrupt handler. This causes
issues for us as we need to ensure that we do not actually try and
enable interrupts and the powermanagement required for them on the
virtual engine, as they will never be disabled. Instead, let's
specify the physical engine used for interrupt handler on a particular
breadcrumb.

The second try at staging the transfer of the breadcrumb. In part one,
we realised we could not simply move to the second engine as we were
only holding the breadcrumb lock on the first. So in commit 6c81e21a47
("drm/i915/gt: Stage the transfer of the virtual breadcrumb"), we
removed it from the first engine and marked up this request to reattach
the signaling on the new engine. However, this failed to take into
account that we only attach the breadcrumb if the new request is added
at the start of the queue, which if we are transferring, it is because
we know there to be a request to be signaled (and hence we would not be
attached).
In this attempt, we try to transfer the completed requests to the
irq_worker on its rq->engine->breadcrumbs. This preserves the coupling
between the rq and its breadcrumbs, so that
i915_request_cancel_breadcrumb() does not attempt to manipulate the list
under the wrong lock.

Execlists uses a scheduling quantum (a timeslice) to alternate execution
between ready-to-run contexts of equal priority. This ensures that all
users (though only if they of equal importance) have the opportunity to
run and prevents livelocks where contexts may have implicit ordering due
to userspace semaphores. However, not all workloads necessarily benefit
from timeslicing and in the extreme some sysadmin may want to disable or

Replace sampling the engine state every so often with a periodic
heartbeat request to measure the health of an engine. This is coupled
with the forced-preemption to allow long running requests to survive so
long as they do not block other users.

If the preempted context takes too long to relinquish control, e.g. it
is stuck inside a shader with arbitration disabled, evict that context
with an engine reset. This ensures that preemptions are reasonably
responsive, providing a tighter QoS for the more important context at
the cost of flagging unresponsive contexts more frequently (i.e. instead
of using an ~10s hangcheck, we now evict at ~100ms). The challenge of
lies in picking a timeout that can be reasonably serviced by HW for
typical workloads, balancing the existing clients against the needs for
responsiveness.
Note that coupled with timeslicing, this will lead to rapid GPU "hang"
detection with multiple active contexts vying for GPU time.
The forced preemption mechanism can be compiled out with
./scripts/config --set-val DRM_I915_PREEMPT_TIMEOUT 0

The active/pending execlists is no longer protected by the
engine->active.lock, but is serialised by the tasklet instead. Update
the locking around the debug and stats to follow suit.
v2: local_bh_disable() to prevent recursing into the tasklet in case we
trigger a softirq (Tvrtko)

A common bane of ours is arbitrary delays in ksoftirqd processing our
submission tasklet. Give the submission tasklet a kick before we wait to
avoid those delays eating into a tight timeout.

The function intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq() is always invoked from an interrupt
handler and for that reason it invokes (as an optimisation) only spin_lock()
for locking assuming that the interrupts are already disabled. The
function intel_engine_signal_breadcrumbs() is provided to disable
interrupts while the former function is invoked so that assumption is
also true for callers from preemptible context.
On PREEMPT_RT local_irq_disable() really disables interrupts and this
forbids to invoke spin_lock() which becomes a sleeping spinlock.
This is also problematic with `threadirqs' in conjunction with
irq_work. With force threading the interrupt handler, the handler is
invoked with disabled BH but with interrupts enabled. This is okay and
the lock itself is never acquired in IRQ context. This changes with
irq_work (signal_irq_work()) which _still_ invokes
intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq() from IRQ context. Lockdep should see this
and complain.
Acquire the locks in intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq() with _irqsave()
suffix and let all callers invoke intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq()
directly instead using intel_engine_signal_breadcrumbs().
