Hi Christian,

This change appears to have semi-broken vdpau on nouveau. Whenever I
flip on the OSD in mplayer, the rendering becomes *extremely* slow.
However regular up-scaling without the OSD is plenty fast. This
effectively is forcing the output surfaces to live in GART instead of
VRAM.
Strictly speaking, they'd only need to be forced to GART while they're
actually being shared between different GPUs. That's how it works with
the amdgpu and radeon kernel drivers.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? Perhaps reallocate + copy the
surface in st/vdpau when actual dmabuf sharing is requested?

To be clear - with this change, vdpau with nouveau is unusable in the
presence of an OSD in mplayer. The OSD comes up whenever you seek
around in the video, so in effect, it's unusable. Used to work great.
Well I think you should clearly figure out why adding
PIPE_BIND_SHARED has
such dramatic effect.
Because the buffer goes into GART. And then you try to blend on it,
which involves readback from GART (that's how the functions OSD is
based on work, I believe). We normally don't allocate renderable
surfaces or textures in GART.

We not only need this for DMA-buf based interop, but also for the
DRI3 based
sharing of buffers with X.

So that clearly sounds like a bug in nouveau to me.
OK, so SHARED != GART? With nouveau, buffers are placed statically in
either VRAM or GART, so I think that if it's shared it has to end up
in GART, no?
As far as I understand it no. Shared just means that we can share it
between applications, doesn't it? Or does it mean the buffer should be
shareable between GPUs?

Could be that my understanding was wrong and so if it's the later feel
free to provide a patch to just remove the flag.

I'm pretty weak on all these concepts, as well as how the DRI3 stuff
works, unfortunately.
I have to confess I'm not so deeply into this stuff either. Marek,
Michel what exactly is the meaning of the flag?
According to src/gallium/docs/source/screen.rst:

* ``PIPE_BIND_SHARED``: A sharable buffer that can be given to another
   process.

It's also used e.g. for buffers shared via DRI3. So I'm afraid this is
something nouveau has to deal with better.
Any suggestions that don't involve rewriting nouveau bo handling at
every level (kernel, ddx, mesa)?

Either just ignore the flag or handle it better, but it's current effect of placing buffers into GART is certainly completely wrong and not only in this use case.

Regards,
Christian.


Otherwise I'll send a revert for this change.
