SubjectRe: [PATCH v8 0/8] Add support for SVM atomics in Nouveau
Date
Hi Andrew,

There is currently no outstanding feedback for this series so I am hoping it
may be considered for inclusion (or at least the mm portions - I still need
Reviews/Acks for the Nouveau bits). The main change for v8 was removal of
entries on fork rather than copying in response to feedback from Jason so any
follow up comments on patch 5 would also be welcome. The series contains a
number of general clean-ups suggested by Christoph along with a feature to
temporarily make selected user page mappings write-protected.

This is needed to support OpenCL atomic operations in Nouveau to shared
virtual memory (SVM) regions allocated with the CL_MEM_SVM_ATOMICS clSVMAlloc
flag. A more complete description of the OpenCL SVM feature is available at
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/3.0-unified/html/
OpenCL_API.html#_shared_virtual_memory .

I have been testing this with Mesa 21.1.0 and a simple OpenCL program which
checks GPU atomic accesses to system memory are atomic. Without this series
the test fails as there is no way of write-protecting the userspace page
mapping which results in the device clobbering CPU writes. For reference the
test is available at https://ozlabs.org/~apopple/opencl_svm_atomics/ .
