The motivation at this point is mainly native userspace mesa driver in a VM guest. The one remaining synchronous "hotpath" is buffer allocation, because guest needs to wait to know the bo's iova before it can start emitting cmdstream/state that references the new bo. By allocating the iova in the guest userspace, we no longer need to wait for a response from the host, but can just rely on the allocation request being processed before the cmdstream submission. Allocation failures (OoM, etc) would just be treated as context-lost (ie. GL_GUILTY_CONTEXT_RESET) or subsequent allocations (or readpix, etc) can raise GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY. v2: Fix inuse check v3: Change mismatched iova case to -EBUSY Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Osipenko <dmitry.osipenko@collabora.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220411215849.297838-11-robdclark@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
