Hi,


Thanks a lot, will be fixed at next version.

As previously mentioned in the Mesa MR, I don't think this is the right
approach.

ETNA_BO_CACHED already looks coherent to userspace, as all accesses are
bracketed via the ETNAVIV_GEM_CPU_PREP and ETNAVIV_GEM_CPU_FINI ioctls,
which will do the necessary cache maintenance on platforms where device
coherence isn't enforced by the hardware, so there is no need for a
separate ETNA_BO_CACHED_COHERENT.

Instead we just need a new ETNAVIV_PARAM to inform userspace about
hardware cache coherence being available for a specific GPU core, in
which case the userspace driver should switch to preferring
ETNA_BO_CACHED over ETNA_BO_WC.

Lucas

As far as I can see,  ETNA_BO_CACHED_COHERENT could probably help to 
bypass the overhead of

dma_sync_sgtable_for_cpu() and dma_sync_sgtable_for_device() brings to us.


I have tested long time ago, there no need call this function on our 
platform.

The glmark2 works as before if I comment out thoes two function.

Are you serious, sir?

Ok, let me think about for a while how to implement this.

But How about we merge this first, I create another patch to improve it

with a roughly working base first? I'm just asking if the answer is No :-)

Yeah,  ETNA_BO_CACHED is enough.

ETNA_BO_CACHED_COHERENT is actually a special case of ETNA_BO_CACHED.

The dma_sync* functions are more or less no-ops when the device is
marked as being coherent. As the mapping is done via the DRM device
instance, you might need to propagate the coherent property from the
GPU core device to the virtual DRM device, along the lines of how we
propagate other DMA properties from the GPU device to the DRM device in
etnaviv_pdev_probe.

Other than that things should just work with minimal overhead.

Simple: add new ETNAVIV_PARAM_GPU_COHERENT to
include/uapi/drm/etnaviv_drm.h, return the result from
dev_is_dma_coherent in etnaviv_gpu_get_param().

The answer is a firm no.

This impacts UAPI, so there is no chance to ever get rid of any wrong
decisions here, as any added UAPI needs to be supported indefinitely.
I'm not signing up for maintaining something I believe is implemented
upside down.

Please don't take this the wrong way: I'm pretty excited to see etnaviv
used on more architectures and outside of the proven platform device
paths, so I'm happy to assist in working out the design and help you
get things merged in both kernel and Mesa. But I think we are still
quite a few steps away from having things worked out enough to even
think about merging those patchsets.

Also please allow me to comment on the other patches of the series, so
I can get a better understanding of your platform/integration, before
sending another revision of those patches.

Lucas
