[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t 10/27] gem_wsim: Submit fence support

Tvrtko Ursulin
2019-05-20T14:47:22Z

Add support for submit fences in a way similar to how normal input fences
are handled. Eg:

1.RCS.500-1000.0.0
1.VCS1.3000.s-1.0
1.VCS2.3000.s-2.0

Submit fences are signalled when the originating request enters the
submission backend.

+Submit fences
+-------------
+
+Submit fences are a type of input fence which are signalled when the originating
+batch buffer is submitted to the GPU. (In contrary to normal sync fences, which
+are signalled when completed.)
+
+Submit fences have the identical syntax as the sync fences with the lower-case
+'s' being used to select them. Eg:
+
+ 1.RCS.500-1000.0.0
+ 1.VCS1.3000.s-1.0
+ 1.VCS2.3000.s-2.0
+
+Here VCS1 and VCS2 batches will only be submitted for executing once the RCS
+batch enters the GPU.
