A usecase arose out of handling context recovery in mesa, whereby they
wish to recreate a context with fresh logical state but preserving all
other details of the original. Currently, they create a new context and
iterate over which bits they want to copy across, but it would much more
convenient if they were able to just pass in a target context to clone
during creation. This essentially extends the setparam during creation
to pull the details from a target context instead of the user supplied
parameters.
The ideal here is that we don't expose control over anything more than
can be obtained via CONTEXT_PARAM. That is userspace retains explicit
control over all features, and this api is just convenience.
For example, you could replace
struct context_param p = { .param = CONTEXT_PARAM_VM };
param.ctx_id = old_id;
gem_context_get_param(&p.param);
new_id = gem_context_create();
param.ctx_id = new_id;
gem_context_set_param(&p.param);
gem_vm_destroy(param.value); /* drop the ref to VM_ID handle */
with
struct create_ext_param p = {
{ .name = CONTEXT_CREATE_CLONE },
.clone_id = old_id,
.flags = CLONE_FLAGS_VM
}
new_id = gem_context_create_ext(&p);
and not have to worry about stray namespace pollution etc.
