Therefore, * the Policy Queue can be seen as a queue of Processes waiting to run Jobs on * the GPU. * * * @dotfile policy_overview.dot "Diagram showing a very simplified overview of the Policy System. IRQ handling, soft/hard-stopping, contexts re-entering the system and Policy details are omitted" * * The main operations on the queue are: * - Enqueuing a Context to it * - Dequeuing a Context from it, to run it. * - Note: requeuing a context is much the same as enqueuing a context, but * occurs when a context is scheduled out of the system to allow other contexts * to run. * * These operations have much the same meaning for the Run Pool - Jobs are * dequeued to run on a Jobslot, and requeued when they are scheduled out of * the GPU. * * @note This is an over-simplification of the Policy APIs - there are more * operations than 'Enqueue'/'Dequeue', and a Dequeue from the Policy Queue * takes at least two function calls: one to Dequeue from the Queue, one to add * to the Run Pool. * * As indicated on the diagram, Jobs permanently leave the scheduling system * when they are completed, otherwise they get dequeued/requeued until this * happens. Similarly, Contexts leave the scheduling system when their jobs * have all completed. However, Contexts may later return to the scheduling * system (not shown on the diagram) if more Bags of Jobs are submitted to * them. */ /** * @page page_kbase_js_policy_operation Policy Operation * * We describe the actions that the Job Scheduler Core takes on the Policy in * the following cases: * - The IRQ Path * - The Job Submission Path * - The High Priority Job Submission Path * * This shows how the Policy APIs will be used by the Job Scheduler core. * * The following diagram shows an example Policy that contains a Low Priority * queue, and a Real-time (High Priority) Queue. The RT queue is examined * before the LowP one on dequeuing from the head. The Low Priority Queue is * ordered by time, and the RT queue is ordered by RT-priority, and then by * time. In addition, it shows that the Job Scheduler Core will start a * Soft-Stop Timer (SS-Timer) when it dequeue's and submits a job. The * Soft-Stop time is set by a global configuration value, and must be a value * appropriate for the policy. For example, this could include "don't run a * soft-stop timer" for a First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) policy. * * * @dotfile policy_operation_diagram.dot "Diagram showing the objects managed by an Example Policy, and the operations made upon these objects by the Job Scheduler Core." * * @section sec_kbase_js_policy_operation_prio Dealing with Priority * * Priority applies both to a context as a whole, and to the jobs within a * context. The jobs specify a priority in the base_jd_atom::prio member, which * is relative to that of the context. A positive setting indicates a reduction * in priority, whereas a negative setting indicates a boost in priority. Of * course, the boost in priority should only be honoured when the originating * process has sufficient priviledges, and should be ignored for unpriviledged * processes. The meaning of the combined priority value is up to the policy * itself, and could be a logarithmic scale instead of a linear scale (e.g. the * policy could implement an increase/decrease in priority by 1 results in an * increase/decrease in \em proportion of time spent scheduled in by 25%, an * effective change in timeslice by 11%). * * It is up to the policy whether a boost in priority boosts the priority of * the entire context (e.g. to such an extent where it may pre-empt other * running contexts). If it chooses to do this, the Policy must make sure that * only the high-priority jobs are run, and that the context is scheduled out * once only low priority jobs remain. This ensures that the low priority jobs * within the context do not gain from the priority boost, yet they still get * scheduled correctly with respect to other low priority contexts. * * * @section sec_kbase_js_policy_operation_irq IRQ Path * * The following happens on the IRQ path from the Job Scheduler Core: * - Note the slot that completed (for later) * - Log the time spent by the job (and implicitly, the time spent by the * context) * - call kbasep_js_policy_log_job_result() in the context of the irq * handler. * - This must happen regardless of whether the job completed successfully or * not (otherwise the context gets away with DoS'ing the system with faulty jobs) * - What was the result of the job? * - If Completed: job is just removed from the system * - If Hard-stop or failure: job is removed from the system * - If Soft-stop: queue the book-keeping work onto a work-queue: have a * work-queue call kbasep_js_policy_enqueue_job() * - Check the timeslice used by the owning context * - call kbasep_js_policy_should_remove_ctx() in the context of the irq * handler. * - If this returns true, clear the "allowed" flag. * - Check the ctx's flags for "allowed", "has jobs to run" and "is running * jobs" * - And so, should the context stay scheduled in? * - If No, push onto a work-queue the work of scheduling out the old context, * and getting a new one. That is: * - kbasep_js_policy_runpool_remove_ctx() on old_ctx * - kbasep_js_policy_enqueue_ctx() on old_ctx * - kbasep_js_policy_dequeue_head_ctx() to get new_ctx * - kbasep_js_policy_runpool_add_ctx() on new_ctx * - (all of this work is deferred on a work-queue to keep the IRQ handler quick) * - If there is space in the completed job slots' HEAD/NEXT registers, run the next job: * - kbasep_js_policy_dequeue_job() in the context of the irq * handler with core_req set to that of the completing slot * - if this returned MALI_TRUE, submit the job to the completed slot. * - This is repeated until kbasep_js_policy_dequeue_job() returns * MALI_FALSE, or the job slot has a job queued on both the HEAD and NEXT registers. * - If kbasep_js_policy_dequeue_job() returned false, submit some work to * the work-queue to retry from outside of IRQ context (calling * kbasep_js_policy_dequeue_job() from a work-queue). * * Since the IRQ handler submits new jobs \em and re-checks the IRQ_RAWSTAT, * this sequence could loop a large number of times: this could happen if * the jobs submitted completed on the GPU very quickly (in a few cycles), such * as GPU NULL jobs. Then, the HEAD/NEXT registers will always be free to take * more jobs, causing us to loop until we run out of jobs. * * To mitigate this, we must limit the number of jobs submitted per slot during * the IRQ handler - for example, no more than 2 jobs per slot per IRQ should * be sufficient (to fill up the HEAD + NEXT registers in normal cases). For * Mali-T600 with 3 job slots, this means that up to 6 jobs could be submitted per * slot. Note that IRQ Throttling can make this situation commonplace: 6 jobs * could complete but the IRQ for each of them is delayed by the throttling. By * the time you get the IRQ, all 6 jobs could've completed, meaning you can * submit jobs to fill all 6 HEAD+NEXT registers again. * * @note As much work is deferred as possible, which includes the scheduling * out of a context and scheduling in a new context. However, we can still make * starting a single high-priorty context quick despite this: * - On Mali-T600 family, there is one more AS than JSs. * - This means we can very quickly schedule out one AS, no matter what the * situation (because there will always be one AS that's not currently running * on the job slot - it can only have a job in the NEXT register). * - Even with this scheduling out, fair-share can still be guaranteed e.g. by * a timeline-based Completely Fair Scheduler. * - When our high-priority context comes in, we can do this quick-scheduling * out immediately, and then schedule in the high-priority context without having to block. * - This all assumes that the context to schedule out is of lower * priority. Otherwise, we will have to block waiting for some other low * priority context to finish its jobs. Note that it's likely (but not * impossible) that the high-priority context \b is running jobs, by virtue of * it being high priority. * - Therefore, we can give a high liklihood that on Mali-T600 at least one * high-priority context can be started very quickly. For the general case, we * can guarantee starting (no. ASs) - (no. JSs) high priority contexts * quickly. In any case, there is a high likelihood that we're able to start * more than one high priority context quickly. * * In terms of the functions used in the IRQ handler directly, these are the * perfomance considerations: * - kbase_js_policy_log_job_result(): * - This is just adding to a 64-bit value (possibly even a 32-bit value if we * only store the time the job's recently spent - see below on 'priority weighting') * - For priority weighting, a divide operation ('div') could happen, but * this can happen in a deferred context (outside of IRQ) when scheduling out * the ctx; as per our Engineering Specification, the contexts of different * priority still stay scheduled in for the same timeslice, but higher priority * ones scheduled back in more often. * - That is, the weighted and unweighted times must be stored separately, and * the weighted time is only updated \em outside of IRQ context. * - Of course, this divide is more likely to be a 'multiply by inverse of the * weight', assuming that the weight (priority) doesn't change. * - kbasep_js_policy_should_remove_ctx(): * - This is usually just a comparison of the stored time value against some * maximum value. * * @note all deferred work can be wrapped up into one call - we usually need to * indicate that a job/bag is done outside of IRQ context anyway. * * * * @section sec_kbase_js_policy_operation_submit Submission path * * Start with a Context with no jobs present, and assume equal priority of all * contexts in the system. The following work all happens outside of IRQ * Context : * - As soon as job is made 'ready to 'run', then is must be registerd with the Job * Scheduler Policy: * - 'Ready to run' means they've satisified their dependencies in the * Kernel-side Job Dispatch system. * - Call kbasep_js_policy_enqueue_job() * - This indicates that the job should be scheduled (it is ready to run). * - As soon as a ctx changes from having 0 jobs 'ready to run' to >0 jobs * 'ready to run', we enqueue the context on the policy queue: * - Call kbasep_js_policy_enqueue_ctx() * - This indicates that the \em ctx should be scheduled (it is ready to run) * * Next, we need to handle adding a context to the Run Pool - if it's sensible * to do so. This can happen due to two reasons: * -# A context is enqueued as above, and there are ASs free for it to run on * (e.g. it is the first context to be run, in which case it can be added to * the Run Pool immediately after enqueuing on the Policy Queue) * -# A previous IRQ caused another ctx to be scheduled out, requiring that the * context at the head of the queue be scheduled in. Such steps would happen in * a work queue (work deferred from the IRQ context). * * In both cases, we'd handle it as follows: * - Get the context at the Head of the Policy Queue: * - Call kbasep_js_policy_dequeue_head_ctx() * - Assign the Context an Address Space (Assert that there will be one free, * given the above two reasons) * - Add this context to the Run Pool: * - Call kbasep_js_policy_runpool_add_ctx() * - Now see if a job should be run: * - Mostly, this will be done in the IRQ handler at the completion of a * previous job. * - However, there are two cases where this cannot be done: a) The first job * enqueued to the system (there is no previous IRQ to act upon) b) When jobs * are submitted at a low enough rate to not fill up all Job Slots (or, not to * fill both the 'HEAD' and 'NEXT' registers in the job-slots) * - Hence, on each ctx and job submission we should try to see if we * can run a job: * - For each job slot that has free space (in NEXT or HEAD+NEXT registers): * - Call kbasep_js_policy_dequeue_job() with core_req set to that of the * slot * - if we got one, submit it to the job slot. * - This is repeated until kbasep_js_policy_dequeue_job() returns * MALI_FALSE, or the job slot has a job queued on both the HEAD and NEXT registers. * * The above case shows that we should attempt to run jobs in cases where a) a ctx * has been added to the Run Pool, and b) new jobs have been added to a context * in the Run Pool: * - In the latter case, the context is in the runpool because it's got a job * ready to run, or is already running a job * - We could just wait until the IRQ handler fires, but for certain types of * jobs this can take comparatively a long time to complete, e.g. GLES FS jobs * generally take much longer to run that GLES CS jobs, which are vertex shader * jobs. * - Therefore, when a new job appears in the ctx, we must check the job-slots * to see if they're free, and run the jobs as before. * * * * @section sec_kbase_js_policy_operation_submit_hipri Submission path for High Priority Contexts * * For High Priority Contexts on Mali-T600, we can make sure that at least 1 of * them can be scheduled in immediately to start high prioriy jobs. In general, * (no. ASs) - (no JSs) high priority contexts may be started immediately. The * following describes how this happens: * * Similar to the previous section, consider what happens with a high-priority * context (a context with a priority higher than that of any in the Run Pool) * that starts out with no jobs: * - A job becomes ready to run on the context, and so we enqueue the context * on the Policy's Queue. * - However, we'd like to schedule in this context immediately, instead of * waiting for one of the Run Pool contexts' timeslice to expire * - The policy's Enqueue function must detect this (because it is the policy * that embodies the concept of priority), and take appropriate action * - That is, kbasep_js_policy_enqueue_ctx() should check the Policy's Run * Pool to see if a lower priority context should be scheduled out, and then * schedule in the High Priority context. * - For Mali-T600, we can always pick a context to schedule out immediately * (because there are more ASs than JSs), and so scheduling out a victim context * and scheduling in the high priority context can happen immediately. * - If a policy implements fair-sharing, then this can still ensure the * victim later on gets a fair share of the GPU. * - As a note, consider whether the victim can be of equal/higher priority * than the incoming context: * - Usually, higher priority contexts will be the ones currently running * jobs, and so the context with the lowest priority is usually not running * jobs. * - This makes it likely that the victim context is low priority, but * it's not impossible for it to be a high priority one: * - Suppose 3 high priority contexts are submitting only FS jobs, and one low * priority context submitting CS jobs. Then, the context not running jobs will * be one of the hi priority contexts (because only 2 FS jobs can be * queued/running on the GPU HW for Mali-T600). * - The problem can be mitigated by extra action, but it's questionable * whether we need to: we already have a high likelihood that there's at least * one high priority context - that should be good enough. * - And so, this method makes sure that at least one high priority context * can be started very quickly, but more than one high priority contexts could be * delayed (up to one timeslice). * - To improve this, use a GPU with a higher number of Address Spaces vs Job * Slots. * - At this point, let's assume this high priority context has been scheduled * in immediately. The next step is to ensure it can start some jobs quickly. * - It must do this by Soft-Stopping jobs on any of the Job Slots that it can * submit to. * - The rest of the logic for starting the jobs is taken care of by the IRQ * handler. All the policy needs to do is ensure that * kbasep_js_policy_dequeue_job() will return the jobs from the high priority * context. * * @note in SS state, we currently only use 2 job-slots (even for T608, but * this might change in future). In this case, it's always possible to schedule * out 2 ASs quickly (their jobs won't be in the HEAD registers). At the same * time, this maximizes usage of the job-slots (only 2 are in use), because you * can guarantee starting of the jobs from the High Priority contexts immediately too. * * * * @section sec_kbase_js_policy_operation_notes Notes * * - In this design, a separate 'init' is needed from dequeue/requeue, so that * information can be retained between the dequeue/requeue calls. For example, * the total time spent for a context/job could be logged between * dequeue/requeuing, to implement Fair Sharing. In this case, 'init' just * initializes that information to some known state. * * * */ /** * @addtogroup base_api * @{ */ /** * @addtogroup base_kbase_api * @{ */ /** * @addtogroup kbase_js_policy Job Scheduler Policy APIs * @{ * * Refer to @ref page_kbase_js_policy for an overview and detailed operation of * the Job Scheduler Policy and its use from the Job Scheduler Core. */ /** * @brief Job Scheduler Policy structure */ union kbasep_js_policy; /** * @brief Initialize the Job Scheduler Policy */ mali_error kbasep_js_policy_init(kbase_device *kbdev); /** * @brief Terminate the Job Scheduler Policy */ void kbasep_js_policy_term(kbasep_js_policy *js_policy); /** * @addtogroup kbase_js_policy_ctx Job Scheduler Policy, Context Management API * @{ * * Refer to @ref page_kbase_js_policy for an overview and detailed operation of * the Job Scheduler Policy and its use from the Job Scheduler Core. */ /** * @brief Job Scheduler Policy Ctx Info structure * * This structure is embedded in the kbase_context structure.
