Apart from relying on userspace behaviour, it could be an issue when a
DRI3 client using a different driver than glamor (e.g. Vulkan or
amdgpu-pro OpenGL) starts or stops page flipping (both cases involve a
flip between a server-allocated and a client-allocated buffer).

Re: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: consider user preference when pinning for SG display

[Christian König]

[SNIP]

It's not that low resolution these days (normally the smallest native
resolution of all connected displays, i.e. generally >= 1920x1080), i.e.
on the order of ~10 MB of VRAM that can't be used for anything else.

Hui, what? Isn't the fb freed after X takes over?

Nope, that isn't possible (not even un-pinning it from VRAM), because
the console layer can try accessing the buffer at any time from any context.


Ok, that at least explains why people are wanting to get rid of it so 
desperately :)


Thanks,
Christian.

 amdgpufb_create_pinned_object() calls
 amdgpu_display_supported_domains() for the initial domain and
 amdgpu_gem_object_create() uses that for the preferred domain so it
 won't change the behavior there.

Is everything in place to deal with any issues that might occur when
flipping between buffers in VRAM and GTT?


Besides this question, I am also wondering how to deal with the first
display buffer created in kernel at amdgpufb_create_pinned_object()?

amdgpufb_create_pinned_object() calls
amdgpu_display_supported_domains() for the initial domain and
amdgpu_gem_object_create() uses that for the preferred domain so it
won't change the behavior there.

That was actually something I was not sure about when I initially
created the patch.

See the FB emulation expects some pointer into a linear PCI resource
(VRAM), I'm not sure if that can actually deal with something kmapped
into the vmap (GTT).

Since this is seldom used and only with low resolution

It's not that low resolution these days (normally the smallest native
resolution of all connected displays, i.e. generally >= 1920x1080), i.e.
on the order of ~10 MB of VRAM that can't be used for anything else.


Hui, what? Isn't the fb freed after X takes over?


it might be better to do the conservative approach and use VRAM here.

Or somebody could try forcing GTT for this, and see what happens. :) If
it works, I'd say GTT is actually preferable for this.


GTT is certainly preferable. Could just be that some common fb code 
calls io*map() on this and wonders why that fails horrible :)


I think as long as we don't see a crash during startup with boot screens 
everything should be fine.


Christian.


And we do a full mode set when switching away from FB emulation AFAIK,
so the move from VRAM to GTT shouldn't be a problem.

Agreed.

Ah, right, I forgot about that, we still need to do that.  In practice
I don't think this will change anything compared things now at least
the way mesa is currently configured.  I can hold off on this this
patch for now until we handle that if you think it will be an issue.
