Yeah, please send that out.

Maybe just to me first, since we probably need to simplify and clean it up a bit, e.g. use a callback instead of duplicating much code etc...

But in general that sounded like a step into the right direction in out internal discussion.

We just need to change the placement as well to avoid this stupid moving around the buffer on every command submission.

Regards,
Christian.

主题: Re: 答复: [PATCH 1/2] drm/amdgpu: disable the VRAM manager on special 
placements v2

Here , checking place->lpfn , is that mean if required place is located in 
visible vram, driver run none pages split code path?
Yes, exactly. CPU accessible allocations weren't meant to be split with
the initial implementation.

For this we need to be able map scattered allocations into the CPU VM
page tables first.

You kind of implemented this, but it would still cause a ping/pong of
the BO inside the visible VRAM space.

We would need to move the handling of
AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_CPU_ACCESS_REQUIRED from amdgpu_ttm_placement_init()
down into the VRAM manager as well.

Regards,
Christian.

if so, seem it comes back to the starting point. In extreme cases, allocate 
visible vram fail.

主题: [PATCH 1/2] drm/amdgpu: disable the VRAM manager on special placements v2

From: Christian König <[email protected]>

This disables the VRAM manager when a special placement is requested, otherwise
we play ping/pong with the buffers on every command submission.

v2: only check lpfn
