The advent of full-ppgtt lead to an extra indirection between the object and its binding. That extra indirection has a noticeable impact on how fast we can convert from the user handles to our internal vma for execbuffer. In order to bypass the extra indirection, we use a resizable hashtable to jump from the object to the per-ctx vma. rhashtable was considered but we don't need the online resizing feature and the extra complexity proved to undermine its usefulness. Instead, we simply reallocate the hastable on demand in a background task and serialize it before iterating. In non-full-ppgtt modes, multiple files and multiple contexts can share the same vma. This leads to having multiple possible handle->vma links, so we only use the first to establish the fast path. The majority of buffers are not shared and so we should still be able to realise speedups with multiple clients. v2: Prettier names, more magic. v3: Many style tweaks, most notably hiding the misuse of execobj[].rsvd2 Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
