drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the lucky one. Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken. Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel. Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to wake the others. To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace, minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in realtime/high-priority waiters. v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the bottom-half. v3: Rename request members and tweak comments. v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half. v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on adding a new waiter. v6: Fix deciding when to force the timer to hide missing interrupts. v7: Move the bottom-half from the kthread to the first client process. v8: Reword a few comments v9: Break the busy loop when the interrupt is unmasked or has fired. v10: Comments, unnecessary churn, better debugging from Tvrtko v11: Wake all completed waiters on removing the current bottom-half to reduce the latency of waking up a herd of clients all waiting on the same request. v12: Rearrange missed-interrupt fault injection so that it works with igt/drv_missed_irq_hang v13: Rename intel_breadcrumb and friends to intel_wait in preparation for signal handling. v14: RCU commentary, assert_spin_locked v15: Hide BUG_ON behind the compiler; report on gem_latency findings. v16: Sort seqno-groups by priority so that first-waiter has the highest task priority (and so avoid priority inversion). v17: Add waiters to post-mortem GPU hang state. v18: Return early for a completed wait after acquiring the spinlock. Avoids adding ourselves to the tree if the is already complete, and skips the awkward question of why we don't do completion wakeups for waits earlier than or equal to ourselves. v19: Prepare for init_breadcrumbs to fail. Later patches may want to allocate during init, so be prepared to propagate back the error code.

drm/i915: Replace global breadcrumbs with per-context interrupt tracking A few years ago, see commit 688e6c725816 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead. To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so request completion checking required delegation. Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit 688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on. (Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.) The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case). Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine, with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups. In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same (about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen). Average herd behaviour is improved, but at the cost of not delegating wakeups on task_prio. v2: Capture fence signaling state for error state and add comments to warm even the most cold of hearts. v3: Check if the request is still active before busywaiting v4: Reduce the amount of pointer misdirection with list_for_each_safe and using a local i915_request variable inside the loops v5: Add a missing pluralisation to a purely informative selftest message.

drm/i915: Replace global breadcrumbs with per-context interrupt tracking A few years ago, see commit 688e6c725816 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead. To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so request completion checking required delegation. Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit 688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on. (Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.) The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case). Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine, with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups. In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same (about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen). Average herd behaviour is improved, but at the cost of not delegating wakeups on task_prio. v2: Capture fence signaling state for error state and add comments to warm even the most cold of hearts. v3: Check if the request is still active before busywaiting v4: Reduce the amount of pointer misdirection with list_for_each_safe and using a local i915_request variable inside the loops v5: Add a missing pluralisation to a purely informative selftest message.

drm/i915: Replace global breadcrumbs with per-context interrupt tracking A few years ago, see commit 688e6c725816 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead. To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so request completion checking required delegation. Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit 688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on. (Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.) The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts queued to the HW to see which may have advanced.

drm/i915/guc: Always enable the breadcrumbs irq The execlists emulation on top of the GuC (used for scheduling and preemption) depends on the MI_USER_INTERRUPT for its notifications and tasklet action. As we always employ the irq, there is no advantage in ever disabling it while we are using the GuC, so allow us to arm the breadcrumb irq when enabling GuC submission and disarm upon disabling. The impact should be lessened by the delayed irq disabling we do (we only disable after receiving an interrupt for which no one was wanting), but allowing guc to explicitly manage the irq in relation to itself is simpler and prevents an issue with losing an interrupt for preemption as it is not coupled to an active request. Internally, we add a reference counter (breadcrumbs.irq_enabled) as a simple mechanism to allow GuC to keep the breadcrumb irq enabled. To improve upon always enabling the irq while guc is selected, we need to hook into the parking facility of intel_engines so that we only enable the breadcrumbs while the GT is active (one step better would be to individually park/unpark each engine). In effect, this means that we keep the breadcrumb irq always enabled for the entire duration the guc is busy, whereas before we would try to switch it off whenever we idled for more than interrupt with no associated waiters. The difference *should* be negligible in practice! v2: Stop abusing fence signaling (and its auxiliary data structures) to enable the breadcrumbs irqs.

drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the lucky one. Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken. Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel. Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to wake the others. To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace, minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in realtime/high-priority waiters. v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the bottom-half. v3: Rename request members and tweak comments. v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half. v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on adding a new waiter. v6: Fix deciding when to force the timer to hide missing interrupts. v7: Move the bottom-half from the kthread to the first client process. v8: Reword a few comments v9: Break the busy loop when the interrupt is unmasked or has fired. v10: Comments, unnecessary churn, better debugging from Tvrtko v11: Wake all completed waiters on removing the current bottom-half to reduce the latency of waking up a herd of clients all waiting on the same request. v12: Rearrange missed-interrupt fault injection so that it works with igt/drv_missed_irq_hang v13: Rename intel_breadcrumb and friends to intel_wait in preparation for signal handling. v14: RCU commentary, assert_spin_locked v15: Hide BUG_ON behind the compiler; report on gem_latency findings. v16: Sort seqno-groups by priority so that first-waiter has the highest task priority (and so avoid priority inversion). v17: Add waiters to post-mortem GPU hang state. v18: Return early for a completed wait after acquiring the spinlock. Avoids adding ourselves to the tree if the is already complete, and skips the awkward question of why we don't do completion wakeups for waits earlier than or equal to ourselves. v19: Prepare for init_breadcrumbs to fail.

drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the lucky one. Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken. Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel. Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to wake the others. To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace, minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in realtime/high-priority waiters. v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the bottom-half. v3: Rename request members and tweak comments. v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half. v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on adding a new waiter. v6: Fix deciding when to force the timer to hide missing interrupts. v7: Move the bottom-half from the kthread to the first client process. v8: Reword a few comments v9: Break the busy loop when the interrupt is unmasked or has fired. v10: Comments, unnecessary churn, better debugging from Tvrtko v11: Wake all completed waiters on removing the current bottom-half to reduce the latency of waking up a herd of clients all waiting on the same request. v12: Rearrange missed-interrupt fault injection so that it works with igt/drv_missed_irq_hang v13: Rename intel_breadcrumb and friends to intel_wait in preparation for signal handling. v14: RCU commentary, assert_spin_locked v15: Hide BUG_ON behind the compiler; report on gem_latency findings. v16: Sort seqno-groups by priority so that first-waiter has the highest task priority (and so avoid priority inversion). v17: Add waiters to post-mortem GPU hang state. v18: Return early for a completed wait after acquiring the spinlock.

drm/i915/guc: Always enable the breadcrumbs irq The execlists emulation on top of the GuC (used for scheduling and preemption) depends on the MI_USER_INTERRUPT for its notifications and tasklet action. As we always employ the irq, there is no advantage in ever disabling it while we are using the GuC, so allow us to arm the breadcrumb irq when enabling GuC submission and disarm upon disabling. The impact should be lessened by the delayed irq disabling we do (we only disable after receiving an interrupt for which no one was wanting), but allowing guc to explicitly manage the irq in relation to itself is simpler and prevents an issue with losing an interrupt for preemption as it is not coupled to an active request. Internally, we add a reference counter (breadcrumbs.irq_enabled) as a simple mechanism to allow GuC to keep the breadcrumb irq enabled. To improve upon always enabling the irq while guc is selected, we need to hook into the parking facility of intel_engines so that we only enable the breadcrumbs while the GT is active (one step better would be to individually park/unpark each engine). In effect, this means that we keep the breadcrumb irq always enabled for the entire duration the guc is busy, whereas before we would try to switch it off whenever we idled for more than interrupt with no associated waiters. The difference *should* be negligible in practice! v2: Stop abusing fence signaling (and its auxiliary data structures) to enable the breadcrumbs irqs.

drm/i915: Replace global breadcrumbs with per-context interrupt tracking A few years ago, see commit 688e6c725816 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead. To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so request completion checking required delegation. Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit 688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on. (Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.) The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case). Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine, with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups. In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same (about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen). Average herd behaviour is improved, but at the cost of not delegating wakeups on task_prio. v2: Capture fence signaling state for error state and add comments to warm even the most cold of hearts. v3: Check if the request is still active before busywaiting v4: Reduce the amount of pointer misdirection with list_for_each_safe and using a local i915_request variable inside the loops v5: Add a missing pluralisation to a purely informative selftest message.

Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit 688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on. (Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.) The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case). Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine, with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups. In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same (about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen). Average herd behaviour is improved, but at the cost of not delegating wakeups on task_prio. v2: Capture fence signaling state for error state and add comments to warm even the most cold of hearts. v3: Check if the request is still active before busywaiting v4: Reduce the amount of pointer misdirection with list_for_each_safe and using a local i915_request variable inside the loops v5: Add a missing pluralisation to a purely informative selftest message.

drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the lucky one. Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken. Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel. Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to wake the others. To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace, minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in realtime/high-priority waiters. v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the bottom-half. v3: Rename request members and tweak comments. v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half. v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on adding a new waiter. v6: Fix deciding when to force the timer to hide missing interrupts. v7: Move the bottom-half from the kthread to the first client process. v8: Reword a few comments v9: Break the busy loop when the interrupt is unmasked or has fired. v10: Comments, unnecessary churn, better debugging from Tvrtko v11: Wake all completed waiters on removing the current bottom-half to reduce the latency of waking up a herd of clients all waiting on the same request. v12: Rearrange missed-interrupt fault injection so that it works with igt/drv_missed_irq_hang v13: Rename intel_breadcrumb and friends to intel_wait in preparation for signal handling. v14: RCU commentary, assert_spin_locked v15: Hide BUG_ON behind the compiler; report on gem_latency findings. v16: Sort seqno-groups by priority so that first-waiter has the highest task priority (and so avoid priority inversion). v17: Add waiters to post-mortem GPU hang state. v18: Return early for a completed wait after acquiring the spinlock.

drm/i915: Replace global breadcrumbs with per-context interrupt tracking A few years ago, see commit 688e6c725816 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead. To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so request completion checking required delegation. Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit 688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on. (Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.) The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case). Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine, with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups. In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same (about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen).

drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the lucky one. Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken. Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel. Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to wake the others. To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace, minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in realtime/high-priority waiters. v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the bottom-half. v3: Rename request members and tweak comments. v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half. v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on adding a new waiter. v6: Fix deciding when to force the timer to hide missing interrupts. v7: Move the bottom-half from the kthread to the first client process. v8: Reword a few comments v9: Break the busy loop when the interrupt is unmasked or has fired. v10: Comments, unnecessary churn, better debugging from Tvrtko v11: Wake all completed waiters on removing the current bottom-half to reduce the latency of waking up a herd of clients all waiting on the same request. v12: Rearrange missed-interrupt fault injection so that it works with igt/drv_missed_irq_hang v13: Rename intel_breadcrumb and friends to intel_wait in preparation for signal handling. v14: RCU commentary, assert_spin_locked v15: Hide BUG_ON behind the compiler; report on gem_latency findings. v16: Sort seqno-groups by priority so that first-waiter has the highest task priority (and so avoid priority inversion). v17: Add waiters to post-mortem GPU hang state. v18: Return early for a completed wait after acquiring the spinlock. Avoids adding ourselves to the tree if the is already complete, and skips the awkward question of why we don't do completion wakeups for waits earlier than or equal to ourselves. v19: Prepare for init_breadcrumbs to fail. Later patches may want to allocate during init, so be prepared to propagate back the error code.

The requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead. To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so request completion checking required delegation. Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit 688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on. (Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.) The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case). Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine, with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups. In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same (about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen). Average herd behaviour is improved, but at the cost of not delegating wakeups on task_prio. v2: Capture fence signaling state for error state and add comments to warm even the most cold of hearts. v3: Check if the request is still active before busywaiting v4: Reduce the amount of pointer misdirection with list_for_each_safe and using a local i915_request variable inside the loops v5: Add a missing pluralisation to a purely informative selftest message.

drm/i915/breadcrumbs: Reduce signaler rbtree to a sorted list The goal here is to try and reduce the latency of signaling additional requests following the wakeup from interrupt by reducing the list of to-be-signaled requests from an rbtree to a sorted linked list. The original choice of using an rbtree was to facilitate random insertions of request into the signaler while maintaining a sorted list. However, if we assume that most new requests are added when they are submitted, we see those new requests in execution order making a insertion sort fast, and the reduction in overhead of each signaler iteration significant. Since commit 56299fb7d904 ("drm/i915: Signal first fence from irq handler if complete"), we signal most fences directly from notify_ring() in the interrupt handler greatly reducing the amount of work that actually needs to be done by the signaler kthread. All the thread is then required to do is operate as the bottom-half, cleaning up after the interrupt handler and preparing the next waiter. This includes signaling all later completed fences in a saturated system, but on a mostly idle system we only have to rebuild the wait rbtree in time for the next interrupt. With this de-emphasis of the signaler's role, we want to rejig it's datastructures to reduce the amount of work we require to both setup the signal tree and maintain it on every interrupt.

drm/i915: Replace global breadcrumbs with per-context interrupt tracking A few years ago, see commit 688e6c725816 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead. To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so request completion checking required delegation. Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit 688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on. (Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.) The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts queued to the HW to see which may have advanced.

drm/i915/breadcrumbs: Reduce signaler rbtree to a sorted list The goal here is to try and reduce the latency of signaling additional requests following the wakeup from interrupt by reducing the list of to-be-signaled requests from an rbtree to a sorted linked list. The original choice of using an rbtree was to facilitate random insertions of request into the signaler while maintaining a sorted list. However, if we assume that most new requests are added when they are submitted, we see those new requests in execution order making a insertion sort fast, and the reduction in overhead of each signaler iteration significant. Since commit 56299fb7d904 ("drm/i915: Signal first fence from irq handler if complete"), we signal most fences directly from notify_ring() in the interrupt handler greatly reducing the amount of work that actually needs to be done by the signaler kthread. All the thread is then required to do is operate as the bottom-half, cleaning up after the interrupt handler and preparing the next waiter. This includes signaling all later completed fences in a saturated system, but on a mostly idle system we only have to rebuild the wait rbtree in time for the next interrupt. With this de-emphasis of the signaler's role, we want to rejig it's datastructures to reduce the amount of work we require to both setup the signal tree and maintain it on every interrupt.

drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the lucky one. Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken. Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel. Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to wake the others. To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace, minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in realtime/high-priority waiters. v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the bottom-half. v3: Rename request members and tweak comments. v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half. v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on adding a new waiter. v6: Fix deciding when to force the timer to hide missing interrupts. v7: Move the bottom-half from the kthread to the first client process. v8: Reword a few comments v9: Break the busy loop when the interrupt is unmasked or has fired. v10: Comments, unnecessary churn, better debugging from Tvrtko v11: Wake all completed waiters on removing the current bottom-half to reduce the latency of waking up a herd of clients all waiting on the same request. v12: Rearrange missed-interrupt fault injection so that it works with igt/drv_missed_irq_hang v13: Rename intel_breadcrumb and friends to intel_wait in preparation for signal handling. v14: RCU commentary, assert_spin_locked v15: Hide BUG_ON behind the compiler; report on gem_latency findings. v16: Sort seqno-groups by priority so that first-waiter has the highest task priority (and so avoid priority inversion). v17: Add waiters to post-mortem GPU hang state. v18: Return early for a completed wait after acquiring the spinlock. Avoids adding ourselves to the tree if the is already complete, and skips the awkward question of why we don't do completion wakeups for waits earlier than or equal to ourselves. v19: Prepare for init_breadcrumbs to fail. Later patches may want to allocate during init, so be prepared to propagate back the error code.

drm/i915: Replace global breadcrumbs with per-context interrupt tracking A few years ago, see commit 688e6c725816 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead. To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so request completion checking required delegation. Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit 688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on. (Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.) The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case). Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine, with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups. In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same (about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen). Average herd behaviour is improved, but at the cost of not delegating wakeups on task_prio. v2: Capture fence signaling state for error state and add comments to warm even the most cold of hearts. v3: Check if the request is still active before busywaiting v4: Reduce the amount of pointer misdirection with list_for_each_safe and using a local i915_request variable inside the loops v5: Add a missing pluralisation to a purely informative selftest message.

drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the lucky one. Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken. Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel. Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to wake the others.

drm/i915: Slaughter the thundering i915_wait_request herd One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the lucky one. Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken. Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel. Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to wake the others. To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace, minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in realtime/high-priority waiters. v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the bottom-half. v3: Rename request members and tweak comments. v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half. v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on adding a new waiter. v6: Fix deciding when to force the timer to hide missing interrupts. v7: Move the bottom-half from the kthread to the first client process. v8: Reword a few comments v9: Break the busy loop when the interrupt is unmasked or has fired. v10: Comments, unnecessary churn, better debugging from Tvrtko v11: Wake all completed waiters on removing the current bottom-half to reduce the latency of waking up a herd of clients all waiting on the same request. v12: Rearrange missed-interrupt fault injection so that it works with igt/drv_missed_irq_hang v13: Rename intel_breadcrumb and friends to intel_wait in preparation for signal handling. v14: RCU commentary, assert_spin_locked v15: Hide BUG_ON behind the compiler; report on gem_latency findings. v16: Sort seqno-groups by priority so that first-waiter has the highest task priority (and so avoid priority inversion). v17: Add waiters to post-mortem GPU hang state. v18: Return early for a completed wait after acquiring the spinlock. Avoids adding ourselves to the tree if the is already complete, and skips the awkward question of why we don't do completion wakeups for waits earlier than or equal to ourselves. v19: Prepare for init_breadcrumbs to fail. Later patches may want to allocate during init, so be prepared to propagate back the error code.
