This layer exists in every GT, has * a migrate engine, and uses a special VM for all generated jobs. * * Special VM details * ================== * * The special VM is configured with a page structure where we can dynamically * map BOs which need to be copied and cleared, dynamically map other VM's page * table BOs for updates, and identity map the entire device's VRAM with 1 GB * pages. * * Currently the page structure consists of 32 physical pages with 16 being * reserved for BO mapping during copies and clear, 1 reserved for kernel binds, * several pages are needed to setup the identity mappings (exact number based * on how many bits of address space the device has), and the rest are reserved * user bind operations. * * TODO: Diagram of layout * * Bind jobs * ========= * * A bind job consist of two batches and runs either on the migrate engine * (kernel binds) or the bind engine passed in (user binds). In both cases the * VM of the engine is the migrate VM. * * The first batch is used to update the migration VM page structure to point to * the bind VM page table BOs which need to be updated. A physical page is * required for this. If it is a user bind, the page is allocated from pool of * pages reserved user bind operations with drm_suballoc managing this pool. If * it is a kernel bind, the page reserved for kernel binds is used. * * The first batch is only required for devices without VRAM as when the device * has VRAM the bind VM page table BOs are in VRAM and the identity mapping can * be used. * * The second batch is used to program page table updated in the bind VM. Why * not just one batch? Well the TLBs need to be invalidated between these two * batches and that only can be done from the ring. * * When the bind job complete, the page allocated is returned the pool of pages * reserved for user bind operations if a user bind. No need do this for kernel * binds as the reserved kernel page is serially used by each job. * * Copy / clear jobs * ================= * * A copy or clear job consist of two batches and runs on the migrate engine. * * Like binds, the first batch is used update the migration VM page structure. * In copy jobs, we need to map the source and destination of the BO into page * the structure. In clear jobs, we just need to add 1 mapping of BO into the * page structure. We use the 16 reserved pages in migration VM for mappings, * this gives us a maximum copy size of 16 MB and maximum clear size of 32 MB. * * The second batch is used do either do the copy or clear. Again similar to * binds, two batches are required as the TLBs need to be invalidated from the * ring between the batches. * * More than one job will be generated if the BO is larger than maximum copy / * clear size. * * Future work * =========== * * Update copy and clear code to use identity mapped VRAM. * * Can we rework the use of the pages async binds to use all the entries in each * page? * * Using large pages for sysmem mappings. * * Is it possible to identity map the sysmem? We should explore this. */ #endif
