A dma-fence can be attached to a buffer which is being filled or consumed by hw, to allow userspace to pass the buffer without waiting to another device. For example, userspace can call page_flip ioctl to display the next frame of graphics after kicking the GPU but while the GPU is still rendering. The display device sharing the buffer with the GPU would attach a callback to get notified when the GPU's rendering-complete IRQ fires, to update the scan-out address of the display, without having to wake up userspace.
A dma-fence is transient, one-shot deal. It is allocated and attached to dma-buf's list of fences. When the one that attached it is done, with the pending operation, it can signal the fence removing it from the dma-buf's list of fences:
+ dma_buf_attach_fence() + dma_fence_signal()
Other drivers can access the current fence on the dma-buf (if any), which increment's the fences refcnt:
+ dma_buf_get_fence() + dma_fence_put()
The one pending on the fence can add an async callback (and optionally cancel it.. for example, to recover from GPU hangs):
+ dma_fence_add_callback() + dma_fence_cancel_callback()
Or wait synchronously (optionally with timeout or from atomic context):
+ dma_fence_wait()
A default software-only implementation is provided, which can be used by drivers attaching a fence to a buffer when they have no other means for hw sync. But a memory backed fence is also envisioned, because it is common that GPU's can write to, or poll on some memory location for synchronization. For example:
fence = dma_buf_get_fence(dmabuf); if (fence->ops == &mem_dma_fence_ops) { dma_buf *fence_buf; mem_dma_fence_get_buf(fence, &fence_buf, &offset); ... tell the hw the memory location to wait on ... } else { /* fall-back to sw sync * / dma_fence_add_callback(fence, my_cb); }
The memory location is itself backed by dma-buf, to simplify mapping to the device's address space, an idea borrowed from Maarten Lankhorst.
NOTE: the memory location fence is not implemented yet, the above is just for explaining how it would work.
On SoC platforms, if some other hw mechanism is provided for synchronizing between IP blocks, it could be supported as an alternate implementation with it's own fence ops in a similar way.
The other non-sw implementations would wrap the add/cancel_callback and wait fence ops, so that they can keep track if a device not supporting hw sync is waiting on the fence, and in this case should arrange to call dma_fence_signal() at some point after the condition has changed, to notify other devices waiting on the fence. If there are no sw waiters, this can be skipped to avoid waking the CPU unnecessarily.
The intention is to provide a userspace interface (presumably via eventfd) later, to be used in conjunction with dma-buf's mmap support for sw access to buffers (or for userspace apps that would prefer to do their own synchronization). --- drivers/base/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/base/dma-buf.c | 3 + drivers/base/dma-fence.c | 325 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/dma-buf.h | 3 + include/linux/dma-fence.h | 118 ++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 450 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 drivers/base/dma-fence.c create mode 100644 include/linux/dma-fence.h
