From 4bb2d367a5a2807185a04949ae922d247f650576 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Ser Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2021 13:00:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] drm/lease: allow empty leases MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This can be used to create a separate DRM file description, thus creating a new GEM handle namespace. My use-case is wlroots. The library splits responsibilities between separate components: the GBM allocator creates buffers, the GLES2 renderer uses EGL to import them and render to them, the DRM backend imports the buffers and displays them. wlroots has a modular architecture, and any of these components can be swapped and replaced with something else. For instance, the pipeline can be set up so that the DRM dumb buffer allocator is used instead of GBM and the Pixman renderer is used instead of GLES2. Library users can also replace any of these components with their own custom one. DMA-BUFs are used to pass buffer references across components. We could use GEM handles instead, but this would result in pain if multiple GPUs are in use: wlroots copies buffers across GPUs as needed. Importing a GEM handle created on one GPU into a completely different GPU will blow up (fail at best, mix unrelated buffers otherwise). Everything is fine if all components use Mesa. However, this isn't always desirable. For instance when running with DRM dumb buffers and the Pixman software renderer it's unfortunate to depend on GBM in the DRM backend just to turn DMA-BUFs into FB IDs. GBM loads Mesa drivers to perform an action which has nothing driver-specific. Additionally, drivers will fail the import if the 3D engine can't use the imported buffer, for instance amdgpu will refuse to import DRM dumb buffers [1]. We might also want to be running with a Vulkan renderer and a Vulkan allocator in the future, and GBM wouldn't be welcome in this setup. To address this, GBM can be side-stepped in the DRM backend, and can be replaced with drmPrimeFDToHandle calls. However because of GEM handle reference counting issues, care must be taken to avoid double-closing the same GEM handle. In particular, it's not possible to share a DRM FD with GBM or EGL and perform some drmPrimeFDToHandle calls manually. So wlroots needs to re-open the DRM FD to create a new GEM handle namespace. However there's no guarantee that the file-system permissions will be set up so that the primary FD can be opened by the compsoitor. On modern systems seatd or logind is a privileged process responsible for doing this, and other processes aren't expected to do it. For historical reasons systemd still allows physically logged in users to open primary DRM nodes, but this doesn't work on non-systemd setups and it's desirable to lock them down at some point. Some might suggest to open the render node instead of re-opening the primary node. However some systems don't have a render node at all (e.g. no GPU, or a split render/display SoC). Solutions to this issue have been discussed in [2]. One solution would be to open the magic /proc/self/fd/ file, but it's a Linux-specific hack (wlroots supports BSDs too). Another solution is to add support for re-opening a DRM primary node to seatd/logind, but they don't support it now and really haven't been designed for this (logind would need to grow a completely new API, because it assumes unique dev_t IDs). Also this seems like pushing down a kernel limitation to user-space a bit too hard. Another solution is to allow creating empty DRM leases. The lessee FD would have its own GEM handle namespace, so wouldn't conflict wth GBM/EGL. It would have the master bit set, but would be able to manage zero resources. wlroots doesn't intend to share this FD with any other process. All in all IMHO that seems like a pretty reasonable solution to the issue at hand. Note, I've discussed with Jonas Ådahl and Mutter plans to adopt a similar design in the future. Example usage in wlroots is available at [3]. IGT test available at [4].
