Subject: [PATCH drm-misc-next v3] drm/sched: implement dynamic job-flow control
Date:   Thu, 26 Oct 2023 18:13:00 +0200
Message-ID: <20231026161431.5934-1-dakr@redhat.com>

Currently, job flow control is implemented simply by limiting the number
of jobs in flight. Therefore, a scheduler is initialized with a credit
limit that corresponds to the number of jobs which can be sent to the
hardware.

This implies that for each job, drivers need to account for the maximum
job size possible in order to not overflow the ring buffer.

However, there are drivers, such as Nouveau, where the job size has a
rather large range. For such drivers it can easily happen that job
submissions not even filling the ring by 1% can block subsequent
submissions, which, in the worst case, can lead to the ring run dry.

In order to overcome this issue, allow for tracking the actual job size
instead of the number of jobs. Therefore, add a field to track a job's
credit count, which represents the number of credits a job contributes
to the scheduler's credit limit.

Changes in V2:
==============
  - fixed up influence on scheduling fairness due to consideration of a job's
    size
    - If we reach a ready entity in drm_sched_select_entity() but can't actually
      queue a job from it due to size limitations, just give up and go to sleep
      until woken up due to a pending job finishing, rather than continue to try
      other entities.
  - added a callback to dynamically update a job's credits (Boris)
  - renamed 'units' to 'credits'
  - fixed commit message and comments as requested by Luben

Changes in V3:
==============
  - rebased onto V7 of the "DRM scheduler changes for Xe" series by Matt
  - move up drm_sched_can_queue() instead of adding a forward declaration
    (Boris)
  - add a drm_sched_available_credits() helper (Boris)
  - adjust control flow in drm_sched_rq_select_entity_fifo() to Luben's proposal
  - re-phrase a few comments and fix a typo (Luben)
  - change naming of all structures credit fields and function parameters to the
    following scheme
    - drm_sched_job::credits
    - drm_gpu_scheduler::credit_limit
    - drm_gpu_scheduler::credit_count
    - drm_sched_init(..., u32 credit_limit, ...)
    - drm_sched_job_init(..., u32 credits, ...)
  - add proper documentation for the scheduler's job-flow control mechanism

This patch is based on V7 of the "DRM scheduler changes for Xe" series. [1]
provides a branch based on drm-misc-next, with the named series and this patch
on top of it.

+/**
+ * DOC: Flow Control
+ *
+ * The DRM GPU scheduler provides a flow control mechanism to regulate the rate
+ * in which the jobs fetched from scheduler entities are executed.
+ *
+ * In this context the &drm_gpu_scheduler keeps track of a driver specified
+ * credit limit representing the capacity of this scheduler and a credit count;
+ * every &drm_sched_job carries a driver specified number of credits.
+ *
+ * Once a job is executed (but not yet finished), the job's credits contribute
+ * to the scheduler's credit count until the job is finished. If by executing
+ * one more job the scheduler's credit count would exceed the scheduler's
+ * credit limit, the job won't be executed. Instead, the scheduler will wait
+ * until the credit count has decreased enough to not overflow its credit limit.
+ * This implies waiting for previously executed jobs.
+ *
+ * Optionally, drivers can register a callback (update_job_credits) provided by
+ * struct drm_sched_backend_ops to update the job's credits dynamically. The
+ * scheduler will execute this callback every time the scheduler considers a job
+ * for execution and subsequently checks whether the job fits the scheduler's
+ * credit limit.
