drm/i915: Move GEM activity tracking into a common struct reservation_object
In preparation to support many distinct timelines, we need to expand the activity tracking on the GEM object to handle more than just a request per engine. We already use the struct reservation_object on the dma-buf to handle many fence contexts, so integrating that into the GEM object itself is the preferred solution. (For example, we can now share the same reservation_object between every consumer/producer using this buffer and skip the manual import/export via dma-buf.) v2: Reimplement busy-ioctl (by walking the reservation object), postpone the ABI change for another day. Similarly use the reservation object to find the last_write request (if active and from i915) for choosing display CS flips. Caveats: * busy-ioctl: busy-ioctl only reports on the native fences, it will not warn of stalls (in set-domain-ioctl, pread/pwrite etc) if the object is being rendered to by external fences. It also will not report the same busy state as wait-ioctl (or polling on the dma-buf) in the same circumstances. On the plus side, it does retain reporting of which *i915* engines are engaged with this object. * non-blocking atomic modesets take a step backwards as the wait for render completion blocks the ioctl. This is fixed in a subsequent patch to use a fence instead for awaiting on the rendering, see "drm/i915: Restore nonblocking awaits for modesetting" * dynamic array manipulation for shared-fences in reservation is slower than the previous lockless static assignment (e.g. gem_exec_lut_handle runtime on ivb goes from 42s to 66s), mainly due to atomic operations (maintaining the fence refcounts). * loss of object-level retirement callbacks, emulated by VMA retirement tracking. * minor loss of object-level last activity information from debugfs, could be replaced with per-vma information if desired Signed-off-by:Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by:
