From b81dde719439c8f09bb61e742ed95bfc4b33946b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Tue, 21 May 2019 22:11:29 +0100 Subject: drm/i915: Allow userspace to clone contexts on creation 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. Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190521211134.16117-5-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk --- include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h') diff --git a/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h b/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h index 957ba8e60e02..62396d575e28 100644 --- a/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h +++ b/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h @@ -1624,6 +1624,21 @@ struct drm_i915_gem_context_create_ext_setparam { struct drm_i915_gem_context_param param; }; +struct drm_i915_gem_context_create_ext_clone { +#define I915_CONTEXT_CREATE_EXT_CLONE 1 + struct i915_user_extension base; + __u32 clone_id; + __u32 flags; +#define I915_CONTEXT_CLONE_ENGINES (1u << 0) +#define I915_CONTEXT_CLONE_FLAGS (1u << 1) +#define I915_CONTEXT_CLONE_SCHEDATTR (1u << 2) +#define I915_CONTEXT_CLONE_SSEU (1u << 3) +#define I915_CONTEXT_CLONE_TIMELINE (1u << 4) +#define I915_CONTEXT_CLONE_VM (1u << 5) +#define I915_CONTEXT_CLONE_UNKNOWN -(I915_CONTEXT_CLONE_VM << 1) + __u64 rsvd; +}; + struct drm_i915_gem_context_destroy { __u32 ctx_id; __u32 pad; -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
