From caa574ffc4aaf4f29b890223878c63e2e7772f62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Auld Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2022 00:17:49 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/uapi: document behaviour for DG2 64K support MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On discrete platforms like DG2, we need to support a minimum page size of 64K when dealing with device local-memory. This is quite tricky for various reasons, so try to document the new implicit uapi for this. v4: Kdoc modification. v3: fix typos and less emphasis v2: Fixed suggestions on formatting [Daniel] Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld Signed-off-by: Ramalingam C Signed-off-by: Robert Beckett Acked-by: Jordan Justen Reviewed-by: Ramalingam C Reviewed-by: Thomas Hellström cc: Simon Ser cc: Pekka Paalanen Cc: Jordan Justen Cc: Kenneth Graunke Cc: mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org Cc: Tony Ye Cc: Slawomir Milczarek Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220218184752.7524-13-ramalingam.c@intel.com --- include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h | 45 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 40 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h b/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h index 914ebd9290e5..05c3642aaece 100644 --- a/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h +++ b/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h @@ -1118,10 +1118,16 @@ struct drm_i915_gem_exec_object2 { /** * When the EXEC_OBJECT_PINNED flag is specified this is populated by * the user with the GTT offset at which this object will be pinned. + * * When the I915_EXEC_NO_RELOC flag is specified this must contain the * presumed_offset of the object. + * * During execbuffer2 the kernel populates it with the value of the * current GTT offset of the object, for future presumed_offset writes. + * + * See struct drm_i915_gem_create_ext for the rules when dealing with + * alignment restrictions with I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE, on devices with + * minimum page sizes, like DG2. */ __u64 offset; @@ -3144,11 +3150,40 @@ struct drm_i915_gem_create_ext { * * The (page-aligned) allocated size for the object will be returned. * - * Note that for some devices we have might have further minimum - * page-size restrictions(larger than 4K), like for device local-memory. - * However in general the final size here should always reflect any - * rounding up, if for example using the I915_GEM_CREATE_EXT_MEMORY_REGIONS - * extension to place the object in device local-memory. + * + * DG2 64K min page size implications: + * + * On discrete platforms, starting from DG2, we have to contend with GTT + * page size restrictions when dealing with I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE + * objects.
