Subject: [PATCH] drm/xe: Flush L2 asynchronously in xe_bo_trigger_rebind()
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 19:49:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709024925.1731496-1-matthew.brost@intel.com> (raw)
On L2-flush-optimized HW with a dma-resv (non-fault) VM, evicting a BO
only needs to flush the L2 cache before the migration copy runs; the
mappings themselves are torn down and rebuilt lazily via
drm_gpuvm_bo_evict() and a subsequent rebind. Today this flush is done
by waiting for the BO to go idle and then issuing a synchronous TLB
invalidation per mapping VMA from inside xe_bo_trigger_rebind(). Both
the idle wait and the synchronous invalidation stall the calling thread
while holding the BO dma-resv lock, serializing the move behind all
in-flight GPU work on the BO.
Replace this with an asynchronous flush. Add xe_vm_flush_vm_bo_tlb_async()
which, for each VMA mapping the BO on each present tile, queues a TLB
invalidation job on the tile migrate (kernel) exec queue. The jobs depend
on the BO's in-flight GPU work, captured once as a singleton over
DMA_RESV_USAGE_BOOKKEEP, so the flush only fires once the GPU is done with
the current mapping. Each job's completion fence is installed into the
BO's dma-resv as a DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL fence, so the migration copy -
which waits on the resv - waits on the flush without stalling this thread.
No PTEs are zapped and vma->tile_invalidated is left untouched: the
mapping stays valid until the lazy rebind, and the only work performed
here is the L2 flush. On any failure the caller falls back to the
existing blocking wait-idle plus xe_vm_invalidate_vma() path.
