Treat the VMA as the primary struct responsible for tracking bindings
into the GPU's VM. That is we want to treat the VMA returned after we
pin an object into the VM as the cookie we hold and eventually release
when unpinning. Doing so eliminates the ambiguity in pinning the object
and then searching for the relevant pin later.
v2: Joonas' stylistic nitpicks, a fun rebase.

request->batch_obj is only set by execbuffer for the convenience of
debugging hangs. By moving that operation to the callsite, we can
simplify all other callers and future patches. We also move the
complications of reference handling of the request->batch_obj next to
where the active tracking is set up for the request.

When using RCU lookup for the request, commit 0eafec6d3244 ("drm/i915:
Enable lockless lookup of request tracking via RCU"), we acknowledge that
we may race with another thread that could have reallocated the request.
In order for the first thread not to blow up, the second thread must not
clear the request completed before overwriting it. In the RCU lookup, we
allow for the engine/seqno to be replaced but we do not allow for it to
be zeroed.
The choice we make is to either add extra checking to the RCU lookup, or
embrace the inherent races (as intended). It is more complicated as we
need to manually clear everything we depend upon being zero initialised,
but we benefit from not emiting the memset() to clear the entire
frequently allocated structure (that memset turns up in throughput
profiles). And at the same time, the lookup remains flexible for future
adjustments.
v2: Old style LRC requires another variable to be initialize. (The
danger inherent in not zeroing everything.)
v3: request->batch also needs to be cleared
v4: signaling.tsk is no long used unset, but pid still exists

The principal motivation for this was to try and eliminate the
struct_mutex from i915_gem_suspend - but we still need to hold the mutex
current for the i915_gem_context_lost(). (The issue there is that there
may be an indirect lockdep cycle between cpu_hotplug (i.e. suspend) and
struct_mutex via the stop_machine().) For the moment, enabling last
request tracking for the engine, allows us to do busyness checking and
waiting without requiring the struct_mutex - which is useful in its own
right.
As a side-effect of having a robust means for tracking engine busyness,
we can replace our other busyness heuristic, that of comparing against
the last submitted seqno. For paranoid reasons, we have a semi-ordered
check of that seqno inside the hangchecker, which we can now improve to
an ordered check of the engine's busyness (removing a locked xchg in the
process).

It is useful to be able to wait on pending rendering without grabbing
the struct_mutex. We can do this by using the i915_gem_active_get_rcu()
primitive to acquire a reference to the pending request without
requiring struct_mutex, just the RCU read lock, and then call
i915_wait_request().
v2: Rebase onto new i915_gem_active_get_unlocked() semantics that take
the RCU read lock on behalf of the caller.

If we enable RCU for the requests (providing a grace period where we can
inspect a "dead" request before it is freed), we can allow callers to
carefully perform lockless lookup of an active request.
However, by enabling deferred freeing of requests, we can potentially
hog a lot of memory when dealing with tens of thousands of requests per
second - with a quick insertion of a synchronize_rcu() inside our
shrinker callback, that issue disappears.
v2: Currently, it is our responsibility to handle reclaim i.e. to avoid
hogging memory with the delayed slab frees. At the moment, we wait for a
grace period in the shrinker, and block for all RCU callbacks on oom.
Suggested alternatives focus on flushing our RCU callback when we have a
certain number of outstanding request frees, and blocking on that flush
after a second high watermark. (So rather than wait for the system to
run out of memory, we stop issuing requests - both are nondeterministic.)
Paul E. McKenney wrote:
Another approach is synchronize_rcu() after some largish number of
requests. The advantage of this approach is that it throttles the
production of callbacks at the source. The corresponding disadvantage
is that it slows things up.
Another approach is to use call_rcu(), but if the previous call_rcu()
is still in flight, block waiting for it. Yet another approach is
the get_state_synchronize_rcu() / cond_synchronize_rcu() pair. The
idea is to do something like this:
cond_synchronize_rcu(cookie);
cookie = get_state_synchronize_rcu();
You would of course do an initial get_state_synchronize_rcu() to
get things going. This would not block unless there was less than
one grace period's worth of time between invocations. But this
assumes a busy system, where there is almost always a grace period
in flight. But you can make that happen as follows:
cond_synchronize_rcu(cookie);
cookie = get_state_synchronize_rcu();
call_rcu(&my_rcu_head, noop_function);
Note that you need additional code to make sure that the old callback
has completed before doing a new one. Setting and clearing a flag
with appropriate memory ordering control suffices (e.g,. smp_load_acquire()
and smp_store_release()).
v3: More comments on compiler and processor order of operations within
the RCU lookup and discover we can use rcu_access_pointer() here instead.
v4: Wrap i915_gem_active_get_rcu() to take the rcu_read_lock itself.

With the introduction of requests, we amplified the number of atomic
refcounted objects we use and update every execbuffer; from none to
several references, and a set of references that need to be changed. We
also introduced interesting side-effects in the order of retiring
requests and objects.
Instead of independently tracking the last request for an object, track
the active objects for each request. The object will reside in the
buffer list of its most recent active request and so we reduce the kref
interchange to a list_move. Now retirements are entirely driven by the
request, dramatically simplifying activity tracking on the object
themselves, and removing the ambiguity between retiring objects and
retiring requests.
Furthermore with the consolidation of managing the activity tracking
centrally, we can look forward to using RCU to enable lockless lookup of
the current active requests for an object. In the future, we will be
able to query the status or wait upon rendering to an object without
even touching the struct_mutex BKL.
All told, less code, simpler and faster, and more extensible.
v2: Add a typedef for the function pointer for convenience later.
v3: Make the noop retirement callback explicit. Allow passing NULL to
the init_request_active() which is expanded to a common noop function.

dma-buf provides a generic fence class for interoperation between
drivers. Internally we use the request structure as a fence, and so with
only a little bit of interfacing we can rebase those requests on top of

back to userspace or between drivers.
