It is time to share a sneek peek into the DRM JQ design. It's all highly
WIP, but I hope that it transfers the general design idea.
I can compile this code, but it cannot actually submit anything yet.
Patch 1 of this series can be ignored. It solves a blocker in the Rust
infrastructure and is included so that interested factions can build the
code.
Patch 2 contains a slightly modified version of the already published
DMA fence RFC [1]. This version removes the DmaFenceNames trait callbacks and
replaces the name strings with dummies. Reason being that these strings
are only ever accessed through certain accessor functions which the Rust
DmaFence currently does not expose anyways, and the only user in C is
i915 [2].
The trait caused some trouble while compiling because for JQ's hw_fence
we don't need to pass fence data, but it was mandatory since that
data hosted said trait, but also needs to be pinned etc.
Patch 3 is the actual JQ code as it exists so far. Please see that
patch's commit message for the current state.
I'll revisit my DmaFence RFC soon and try to get it in line with
Christian's life time rework [3] and fix some other issues and implement the
feedback which the RFC received so far.
Feedback for JQ is obviously welcome; the most notable problem I'm
currently having is with the list implementation. I don't know yet how I
can get job_lists to work with jobs containing the driver's generic data
`T` – data which the JQ by the way doesn't need to access, it just wants
to pass it back to the driver later in run_job().
Greetings,
Philipp

impl_list_item_mod.rs calls container_of() without unsafe blocks at a
couple of places. Since container_of() is an unsafe macro / function,
the blocks are strictly necessary.
For unknown reasons, that problem was so far not visible and only gets
visible once one utilizes the list implementation from within the core
crate:

= note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::container_of` which comes
from the expansion of the macro `impl_list_item`
Add unsafe blocks to container_of to fix the issue.

dma_fence is a synchronization mechanism which is needed by virtually
all GPU drivers.
A dma_fence offers many features, among which the most important ones
are registering callbacks (for example to kick off a work item) which
get executed once a fence gets signalled.
dma_fence has a number of callbacks. Only the two most basic ones
(get_driver_name(), get_timeline_name() are abstracted since they are
enough to enable the basic functionality.
Callbacks in Rust are registered by passing driver data which implements
the Rust callback trait, whose function will be called by the C backend.
dma_fence's are always refcounted, so implement AlwaysRefcounted for
them. Once a reference drops to zero, the C backend calls a release
function, where we implement drop_in_place() to conveniently marry that
C-cleanup mechanism with Rust's ownership concepts.
This patch provides basic functionality, but is still missing:
- An implementation of PinInit<T, Error> for all driver data.
- A clever implementation for working dma_fence_begin_signalling()
guards. See the corresponding TODO in the code.
- Additional useful helper functions such as dma_fence_is_signaled().
These _should_ be relatively trivial to implement, though.

DRM jobqueue is intended to become a load balancer, dependency manager
and timeout handler for GPU drivers with firmware scheduling.
The presented code shall give the reader an overview over the intended
architecture, notably over the API functions, DmaFence callbacks, job
lists and job control flow.
This code compiles (with warnings) but is incomplete. Notable missing
features are:
- Actually registering the fence callbacks
- workqueue
- timeout handling
- actually calling the driver callback for job submissions
Moreover, the implementation of the waiting_jobs and running_jobs lists
is currently not operational because I've got trouble with getting it to
work with generic Job data. Verifyable by commenting in the push_job()
call in the submit_job() function.
Some WIP code is commented out, but is probably worth reading
nevertheless since it completes the picture.

I haven't gone through this fully yet. I meant to today, but I ended up
needing way more time to explain some of my review comments w/r/t some
ww_mutex bindings for rust then I was expecting. But I do already have some
comments worth reading below:

It's entirely possible I've just never seen someone do this before but - is
are we actually able to make pinned members of structs `pub`? I would have
thought that wouldn't be allowed (especially if `data` was exposed as just
`T`, since a user could then move it pretty easily and break the pinning
guarantee).

oh no, not you too!!! D:
I can answer this question - yes, `OPS` definitely won't have a unique memory
address. Whether that's an issue or not depends on if you actually need to
check what pointer a `DmaFence` has its `dma_fence_ops` set to and compare it
against another. If not though, it's probably fine.
JFYI: we've got a whole discussion about this as I hit this exact same problem
in KMS where we actually do sometimes need to compare against a mode object's
vtable pointer (and I believe Lina also hit this issue ages ago with gem
objects):
https://rust-for-linux.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/291566-Library/topic/Extending.20vtable.20macro.20to.20provide.20unique.20address/with/447442017
Unfortunately it is very much a stalled conversation: as far as I'm aware
Miguel hasn't had the time to successfully get syn2 into the kernel, which I
believe that we need in order to properly solve this issue. In the mean time
I've been working around it in KMS by just not allowing users to have multiple
implementations of whatever `T` is (`DriverConnector`, `DriverCrtc`, etc.).
