It's not really a graphics memory allocator, just something to track ranges
of address space. It doesn't involve actual allocation, and was consuming
some desired namespace.
I couldn't figure out what drm_bo_type_dc was for; Dave Airlie finally clued
me in that it was the 'normal' buffer objects with kernel allocated pages
that could be mmapped from the drm device file.
I thought that 'drm_bo_type_device' was a more descriptive name.
I also added a bunch of comments describing the use of the type enum values and
the functions that use them.
Flags pending validation were stored in a misleadingly named field, 'mask'.
As 'mask' is already used to indicate pieces of a flags field which are
changing, it seems better to use a name reflecting the actual purpose of
this field. I chose 'proposed_flags' as they may not actually end up in
'flags', and in an case will be modified when they are moved over.
This affects the API, but not ABI of the user-mode interface.
I'm hoping to use the dummy_read_page for kernel allocated buffers to avoid
allocating extra pages for read-only buffers (like vertex and batch buffers).
This also eliminates the 'write' parameter to drm_ttm_set_user and just
has DRM_TTM_PAGE_WRITE passed into drm_ttm_create.
Aside from changing drm_bind_ttm to drm_ttm_bind, this patch
adds only documentation and fixes the functions inside drm_ttm.c
to all be prefixed with drm_ttm_.
drmBOSetStatus does not bother to set the fence_class parameter.
Fortunately, drm_bo_setstatus_ioctl doesn't end up using it as it
calls drm_bo_handle_validate with use_old_fence_class = 1.
Document parameters and usage for drm_bo_handle_validate. Change parameter
order to match drm_bo_do_validate (fence_class has been moved to after
flags, hint and mask values). Existing users of this function have been
changed, but out-of-tree users must be modified separately.
Add comments about the parameters to drm_bo_do_validate, along
with comments for the DRM_BO_HINT options. Remove the 'do_wait'
parameter as it is duplicated by DRM_BO_HINT_DONT_BLOCK.
Creating a ttm was done with drm_ttm_init while destruction was done with
drm_destroy_ttm. Renaming these to drm_ttm_create and drm_ttm_destroy makes
their use clearer. Passing page_flags to the create function will allow that
to know whether user or kernel pages are needed, with the goal of allowing
kernel ttms to be saved for later reuse.
This mapping allows cached objects to be mapped in/out of the TT space
with the appropriate flushing calls.
It should put back the old CACHED functionality for snooped mappings
Implement a version check IOCTL for drivers that don't use
drmMMInit from user-space.
Remove the minor check from the kernel code. That's really up
to the driver.
Bump major.
Remove need for lock for now.
May create races when we clean memory areas or on takedown.
Needs to be fixed.
Really do a validate on buffer creation in order to avoid problems with
fixed memory buffers.
We now always create a drm_ref_object for user objects and this is then the only
things that holds a reference to the user object. This way unreference on will
destroy the user object when the last drm_ref_object goes way.
The buffer object type is still tracked internally, but it is no longer
part of the user space visible ioctl interface. If the bo create ioctl
specifies a non-NULL buffer address we assume drm_bo_type_user,
otherwise drm_bo_type_dc. Kernel side allocations call
drm_buffer_object_create() directly and can still specify drm_bo_type_kernel.
Not 100% this makes sense either, but with this patch, the buffer type
is no longer exported and we can clean up the internals later on.
