drm/todo: Add section with task for GPU scheduler
The GPU scheduler has a great many problems and deserves its own TODO section. Add a section and a first task describing the problem of drm_sched_resubmit_jobs() being deprecated without a successor.

DRM GPU Scheduler
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Provide a universal successor for drm_sched_resubmit_jobs()
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
drm_sched_resubmit_jobs() is deprecated. Main reason being that it leads to
|
||||
reinitializing dma_fences. See that function's docu for details. The better
|
||||
approach for valid resubmissions by amdgpu and Xe is (apparently) to figure out
|
||||
which job (and, through association: which entity) caused the hang. Then, the
|
||||
job's buffer data, together with all other jobs' buffer data currently in the
|
||||
same hardware ring, must be invalidated. This can for example be done by
|
||||
overwriting it. amdgpu currently determines which jobs are in the ring and need
|
||||
to be overwritten by keeping copies of the job. Xe obtains that information by
|
||||
directly accessing drm_sched's pending_list.
|
||||
|
||||
Tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
1. implement scheduler functionality through which the driver can obtain the
|
||||
information which *broken* jobs are currently in the hardware ring.
|
||||
2. Such infrastructure would then typically be used in
|
||||
drm_sched_backend_ops.timedout_job(). Document that.
|
||||
3. Port a driver as first user.
|
||||
4. Document the new alternative in the docu of deprecated
|
||||
drm_sched_resubmit_jobs().
