<Company> let's assume you open an X Display
<Company> and a wayland connection
<Company> to the same compositor
<Company> open a window each
<Company> and try to draw to them with GL
<Company> are EGL, GLX and epoxy fine with that?

<Company> and now somebody ported that GTK3 app to GTK4, and GTK4 uses GL
<airlied> trying to make current the wrong context or something?
<Company> no idea - could also be an async error from before
<Company> the Wayland crash is in eglSwapBuffersWithDamageEXT()
<Company> I've always treated this whole thing as a black box, so I don't even know how it switches between GL and GLES
<Company> let alone what happens if GLX and EGL try to compete for ownership of GL symbols
<airlied> should all go through the same library dispatch
<airlied> maybe ajax is a better source of knowledge here

<dj-death> Kayden: or maybe it was the various layers GDM/DRI, I don't remember exactly :(
<Kayden> dj-death: I've got a patch that deduplicates screens like freedreno does and eliminates the bufmgr refcounting and resource holding on to screen refcounts, and it still works for manywin at least
danvet has joined #dri-devel
<dj-death> Kayden: oh you mean reusing the entire iris_screen rather than creating a new one?
<Kayden> yep
<Kayden> for now that's in the iris winsys, but anholt was suggesting that we might just want to do that in the pipe loader code so all drivers can get this without having to homebrew it badly
<Kayden> not sure if you read back in the earlier conversation - I ran into an issue with my suballocator series where the screen needs to make a context for some misc. blit type work. but if the screen makes a context...the context makes resources...and the resources reference the screen. so you get circular refcounts and the screen is never freed at all
frieder has joined #dri-devel
<Kayden> which is why dEQP-EGL multithread tests were blowing up...it was making 1500 screens and contexts and never freeing them

<MrCooper> Kayden: deduping like that requires keeping track of exported GEM handles per DRM file description (using os_same_file_description), or some things will break (see my corresponding radeonsi amdgpu winsys fixes, let me look up the MRs)

<Kayden> hehe, yeah
camus has joined #dri-devel
camus1 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<Kayden> MrCooper: thanks for the links. modelling common code after amdgpu might be the right thing to do, yeah
<Kayden> for now I've just written a patch for iris - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/12990 - to try and unblock my other work and avoid bikeshedding across all drivers just yet
<Kayden> I will admit that I find those parts of the amdgpu winsys code a bit hard to follow...there are quite a few layers and abstractions there. and it gets a bit hard to tell what's an essential bit of decoupling that solves the fundamental problem vs. just amdgpu/radeonsi having extra layers
<Kayden> if the freedreno code works, it's quite a bit simpler, IMO
<Kayden> but maybe it isn't handling some corner cases, too
<Kayden> it wouldn't surprise me. :(
<MrCooper> FWIW, example scenario which breaks: 1) Create EGL/GLX context 2) Open DRM file for the same physical device and create GBM device for it
<MrCooper> 1) & 2) use different DRM file descriptions, so GEM handles created for the deduped screen's DRM fd aren't valid for the fd used to create the GBM device
<MrCooper> similar scenarios apply to more combinations of separate APIs using the same device, e.g. GL & CL/VA-API
<Kayden> ugh...
<Kayden> how would you end up with a dedup'd screen in that case? they shouldn't be the same fd
<pq> empty leases to the rescue so you will never need to do dedup at all? :-)
<MrCooper> the deduping is based on the device itself, not on file descriptions
anarsoul has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<MrCooper> i.e. it will dedupe for different fds pointing to the same device
anarsoul has joined #dri-devel

gpuman_ has joined #dri-devel
<Kayden> it looks to me like freedreno is not handling that case. there's only one fd for the device, which is based on deduplication
<MrCooper> right
gpuman has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
<Kayden> I think iris currently is handling that case, as it has the bufmgr (winsys) shared across screens, and has a bufmgr fd and an fd for the screen
<Kayden> or at least is trying to
<MrCooper> I can understand wanting to avoid amdgpu's complexity, but there's no free lunch here I'm afraid
<Kayden> right
<Kayden> it would definitely be nice to get this into common code because every driver is hand rolling their own solution differently, and it sounds like amdgpu's is the only one that actually works in all cases
<Kayden> and some of the ones in tree currently may not work at all
<Kayden> but that sounds like it could be pretty painful if it means fixing up the internals of each driver's winsys/bufmgr to actually handle this stuff correctly
<MrCooper> yeah
<MrCooper> actually, for other drivers, just deduping based on DRM file description instead of based on device might work
camus1 has joined #dri-devel
<MrCooper> amdgpu has to also dedup based on device for various reasons which might not apply to other drivers
<MrCooper> (mainly that libdrm_amdgpu dedups based on device internally)
<emersion> or you could also fix the kernel to do the ref'counting
<emersion> and fix all the pain
<MrCooper> that wouldn't magically make GEM handles valid for another DRM file description, would it?
<emersion> that would remove the need for ref'counting in user-space
<MrCooper> that's not the (main) issue here
<emersion> and trying to figure out whether two DRM FDs refer to the same file description
<emersion> well if the FD is different you could just assume the file descriptions are different
<emersion> and be wrong, but it wouldn't be a big deal
<MrCooper> you need a valid GEM handle first, no point worrying about ref'counting before that :)
<MrCooper> k, I see
camus has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
<MrCooper> that can only work if all parties use only the new reference counted GEM APIs though
<emersion> yeah… we're indeed kind of stuck here
<emersion> i've wondered about having a vendor-neutral gem handle manager in libdrm too
<emersion> which could be used by EGL/Vulkan/VA-API/etc
<emersion> but not sure it would help here
gpuman_ has quit []
<MrCooper> it would need to be used by third party drivers like amdgpu-pro as well
hansg has joined #dri-devel
<emersion> yeah
<emersion> but that's already the case no?
<emersion> amdgpu-pro should be using libdrm-amdgpu already right?
<emersion> how else can amdgpu-pro interoperate with other APIs?
<MrCooper> it uses libdrm_amdgpu, just wondering if it might use DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE separately, or if the current libdrm_amdgpu API has the current GEM handle semantics baked in
<emersion> libdrm_amdgpu has a handle table baked it
<emersion> in*
<emersion> and it does GEM_CLOSE calls
<emersion> plz review :P

frieder has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<Company> but I can certainly forbid GLX when EGL is in use or vice versa
<ajax> yes. that's !12819 and i was hoping someone else with an egl opinion would chime in
<ajax> mmm
<Company> so the solution is "if any EGL or GLX is in use with any backend, don't use the other"?
<agd5f> gawin, I don't think so
<ajax> or: use context-flush-control and unbind the backend context on the way out of the library
* Company won't wonder what would happen if somebody decided to use EGL and WGL on Windows
<ajax> Company: unlikely to be a thing, egl didn't have a windows binding until our local microsoft representative checked on in a few days ago

<FLHerne> Windows used to (for Cygwin) but I have no idea if it still does
<FLHerne> No idea, sorry
<DrNick> does GLX still work on Mac OS?
<ajax> as well as it ever did
<ajax> what happens with glx is in order to use glx you're linked against mesa's libGL.dylib, and in order to use native you're linked against OpenGL.framework
<Company> I shall add a static global enum { NONE, WGL, EGL, GLX } gl_version_in_use; and whenever you open a new GdkDisplay, you shall not get GL if it doesn't match
<ajax> which means: whatever the mach-o resolution rules give you at that point in execution, that's the gl you talk to.
<ajax> similar argument for cygwin
<ajax> they'd be completely oblivious of each other, hopefully that's what you want
<HdkR> "you shall not get GL if it doesn't match" ???
<Company> well, when I call glSomething(), some function somewhere has to be called
<FLHerne> Company: there's a note on https://docs.mesa3d.org/macos.html
<HdkR> Oh, new instance of GdkDisplay won't get GL if it doesn't match. okay :)
<FLHerne> > Mesa’s default builds with the Apple GLX uses Mesa as a front for the hardware-accelerated system OpenGL framework, to provide hardware acceleration to X11 applications on macOS running via XQuartz.
<Company> HdkR: if you have EGL initialized already and ask about GLX for a GdkDisplay, you'll get "nope, doesn't work"
<FLHerne> > Mesa’s software rasterizers also work on macOS. To build, set the build options -Dosmesa=true -Dglx=gallium-xlib and select an appropriate Gallium software rasterizer.

rpigott has joined #dri-devel
<Company> because nobody is gonna try that anyway
<Company> and if they do, they can file a bug against GTK with the error message
<jenatali> Company: EGL + WGL should mostly work... the only thing I know won't work is trying to use the d3d12 backend and creating an EGL surface for a window where you've already done the WGL SetPixelFormat thing or vice versa
<Company> our Windows hackers might just try that, but they can submit patches
<jenatali> Well, the problem is the d3d12 backend tries to use DXGI swapchains whenever it can for efficiency, but you can only have one of those at a time. All the WGL contexts for a window would implicitly share one because there's no framebuffer/surface objects in WGL, but EGL explicit window surfaces would try to use their own
<jenatali> I guess if you force all the configs to be single-buffered (which prevents DXGI swapchains) then you could do interop and it might actually all just work
<bnieuwenhuizen> jenatali: wait you can have only one swapchain on a window at a time? I thought lots of wine issues remaining were due to apps using multiple and that apparently working
<jenatali> bnieuwenhuizen: It's more complicated than that. Old-style swapchains used to just copy contents to the same surface that GDI writes to, which has its own set of problems, but does allow multiple swapchains to target the same window
<bnieuwenhuizen> ah
<jenatali> New-style swapchains completely replace the window contents with your swapchain, meaning you don't need to interop with GDI at all, which simplifies things and improves efficiency, and also means you don't have an end-of-frame surface copy
<jenatali> But yeah, you can only have one of those, and then no GDI or old-style swapchains show up on the window anymore
<jenatali> And D3D12 only supports the new-style swapchains
<bnieuwenhuizen> thanks for the explanation!
<jenatali> I know Windows stuff is off-topic for this channel, but I'm happy to explain whatever if people are curious :P

<graphitemaster> Does anyone know if the NV proprietary driver or any of the Linux graphics stack for that matter deal with interrupting the GPU to keep the general system responsive? I have a compute shader that takes more than 16ms per frame and the ENTIRE system is dragged to the speed of that one shader.
<graphitemaster> It's kind of ridiculous, this does not happen on Windows.
<jekstrand> I would expect NV does. AMD maybe if it's running on the ROCM stack.
<jekstrand> Generally, though, rediculously long compute shaders are painful on Linux.
<graphitemaster> Compute shader takes 500ms, all of X renders at 2 frames per second.
<HdkR> Ah yes, the dreaded long running compute task
<graphitemaster> I'm kind of impressed that this is a problem. Like why isn't this being worked on?
<jekstrand> graphitemaster: Oh, it very much is being worked on. It's just a REALLY hard problem.
<jekstrand> Like re-plumb the entire graphics stack kind of hard.
<graphitemaster> Just thinking about this, but WebGPU has compute shaders and you can just load one in a WebWorker in the browser tab background and completely system lock any Linux from a URL, kind of depressing.
<ajax> we do understand the impact of the issue, yes.
<agd5f> graphitemaster, also shaders are shared between gfx and compute
<graphitemaster> I feel like I'm dreaming. As in I don't expect this to be a real limitation in 2021 on a platform that has some of the most active open graphics development. Am I wrong in expecting better here?
<ajax> *shrug*
kmn has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
<jekstrand> If you're wrong, it's in underestimating the scope of the problem.
<ajax> from where i sit, the fact there's so much development means there's more work to do than labor to apply to it
<ajax> so... on balance, it seems, nobody's prioritized that
<ajax> you wanna prioritize that? go wild. we take patches.
<jekstrand> And, also, some of literally THE BEST people we have are actively tilting at that windmill and making slow progress, at best.
<jekstrand> And it's not because our best are incompetent compared to Windows either
<graphitemaster> I'm just surprised. I expected there to be a lot of compute-heavy stuff running on Linux machines and interactive software that is compute-heavy too for workstation purposes. It feels like the thing someone working in VFX house (which all run some form of CentOS or RHEL) would've ran into and poured a ton of resources towards fixing.
<jekstrand> Windows gets to cheat
<jenatali> From my Microsoft perspective, this problem is one of the reasons Vista sucked, because we forced all the drivers in the industry to rewrite to a new model
<daniels> graphitemaster: you're assuming that a ton of resources _aren't_ being poured into fixing this
<ajax> graphitemaster: maybe read this as: people who want both compute and interactivity are already using nvidia's driver for other reasons
<jekstrand> And nvidia cheats
<agd5f> there is a lot of compute going on on Linux, but it usually not mixed with gfx
<graphitemaster> Okay well I'm on NV's proprietary driver and it's doing the same thing >_>
<jekstrand> Clearly, they don't cheat enough. :D
<graphitemaster> daniels, Yes, I'm assuming. Because I'd be pretty upset if I poured a ton of money into this problem previously up to this point and the results are what they are currently, no offense.
<agd5f> it's also more than just drivers. You need to plumb a lot of stuff through the desktop as well to make this work cleanly (OS level preemption, GPU reset handling, etc.)
<daniels> graphitemaster: fair enough, what's your suggestion?
<MrCooper> agd5f: shouldn't AMD GPUs be able to run graphics shaders in parallel with compute shaders though? I guess it doesn't help if the GPU is already fully occupied by long-running compute shaders...
<graphitemaster> Is there even a design document or roadmap to tackling the problem? I'd start there.
<Sachiel> daniels: it's plain enough, stop slacking off and fix all the problems
<daniels> graphitemaster: yes
<bnieuwenhuizen> MrCooper: also any fences between the two end up messing things up
<agd5f> MrCooper, yeah, they can run concurrently, but if the CUs are full, you need to wait for them to drain unless you do something like CU masking to limit specific jobs to specific resources
<daniels> graphitemaster: but I mean, given that you've concluded that it should've been solved by now, you understand the problem and its complexity, which means that you have a pathway to a solution if not a solution yourself, so - I'm all ears
<MrCooper> bnieuwenhuizen: depending on a fence from such a long-standing compute shader would be kind of asking for it :)
<graphitemaster> Pardon my ignorance, but shouldn't the kernel just you know, preempt the current GPU work when it needs to schedule other processes? Like presumably you already have the ability to preempt GPU work on account of the fact I can run multiple graphics and compute applications.
<bnieuwenhuizen> MrCooper: memory management might introduce them unintentionally
<bnieuwenhuizen> graphitemaster: "Like presumably you already have the ability to preempt GPU" <- not quite
<bnieuwenhuizen> we currently mostly switch when the commandbuffer of an application is done
<agd5f> graphitemaster, also who decides what to preempt?
<graphitemaster> Why can't you be more aggressive / granular with that preemption.
<bnieuwenhuizen> i.e. preemption at all is the bit that is blocking a lot of stuff and isn't really there yet
<bnieuwenhuizen> graphitemaster: because prempting mid-commandbuffer is difficult and has implications in core kernel memory management?
ManMower has joined #dri-devel
<graphitemaster> agd5f, That's simple, the kernel mode driver would have a list of processes that are blocked waiting on GPU work, and it would know the last time the schedule could run them and it could realistically just try to ensure that those processes got to makke forward progress every scheduling quanta (which is 16ms on Windows by default, but can be made as low as 1ms).
<graphitemaster> bnieuwenhuizen, So it sounds like that's what needs to be worked on before anything can improve on the scheduling side.
<graphitemaster> bnieuwenhuizen, Though, why is this not a problem for hardware interrupts?
<bnieuwenhuizen> graphitemaster: hardware interrupts go to the CPU not GPU
<graphitemaster> I mean't GPU hardware interrupts.
<bnieuwenhuizen> what GPU hardware interrupts?
gouchi has joined #dri-devel
<daniels> (DRM does have a scheduler, it does have a notion of dependencies, etc)
ngcortes has joined #dri-devel
<graphitemaster> Heh, I never put the two and two together, GPUs are truly cooperative and don't have interrupts. I knew that but I never made the connection. Damn that's annoying. I guess all you have is MOESI/MESIF
<halfline> don't people who rely on compute usually buy dedicated headless compute hardware?
<halfline> i mean people aren't running tensorflow or whatever on the same graphics card they're running their desktop on right ?
<graphitemaster> Even if they do, that's not an acceptable answer to this problem :P
<halfline> maybe not, but i'm just saying the problem may have a more limited scope than it seems if in only affects atypical setups
<milek7> does these problems apply for graphics shaders too?
<milek7> I remember hanging up gpu with buggy shader, but I'm not sure if this was driver bug or just the way things work
<HdkR> Shaders are just another GPU shader stage. You can do the same hangups with graphics stages as well
<graphitemaster> This isn't an atypical situation, a lot of software that already exists on Windows and macOS cannot actually be ported to Linux with this limitation. Final Cut, Adobe Primer, Houdini, hell even Blender is seriously affected by this (I just checked), most video production and content creation software just straight up would make a Linux unresponsive.
<halfline> *shrug* some of the biggest animations studios in the industry use linux workstations to make their movies. it can't be a problem affecting everyone
<graphitemaster> I'm beginning to understand why the big software giants time their sims and slice up the work on demand based on how long it takes to avoid stalling the system. All that extra work which is apparently not necessary on Windows.
<jenatali> Windows isn't perfect here either. Hardware can have coarse pre-emption granularities, and if your work exceeds a reasonable timeframe before hitting a pre-emption boundary, you can hit the same problem
<jenatali> It's usually better than an entire command buffer, but pre-empting and resuming takes more time than just processing the command buffer straight through, so it's not a silver bullet on that front either
<milek7> so VR is affected too? like there's compositor that should be able to preempt game and reproject previous frame if new one is not finished yet
<graphitemaster> I'm beginning to feel like Linux is due for a new graphics stack rewrite.
<Sachiel> joss, is that you?

<anholt_> jekstrand: how has intel done vk conformance without dEQP-VK.wsi.display_control.register_device_event working?
<jekstrand> We run on x/wayland
<jekstrand> Sadly, conformance + WSI is... uh... ill-defined at best.
<bnieuwenhuizen> IIRC previously CTS also didn't quite catch it
<jekstrand> There's no procedure for running on all the WSIs and it's impossible to actually do a single run on all of them because having X up will prevent display because you aren't master.
fxkamd has joined #dri-devel
<anholt_> anv_RegisterDeviceEventEXT() looks like it'll just return NOT_PRESENT, though, which would fail current cts
<jekstrand> So I typically build with X11 and Wayland and then run in something with XWayland.
<anholt_> so manybe it's what bnieuwenhuizen said that it's a newer test and you just didn't hit it before?
<jekstrand> anholt_: Could be
<Sachiel> yes, that's a fairly new test
<jekstrand> anholt_: We also don't run those in CI
<Sachiel> there's an MR from tpalli up for it
<jekstrand> It should be fixed
<jekstrand> Don't get me wrong
<bnieuwenhuizen> yeah IIRC the "problem" with it is that that it runs even when we don't have master
<jekstrand> But there are many many reasons why it hasn't been noticed.
<anholt_> yeah, I mean, hard to properly automated test for sure
<anholt_> but I was wondering if there was a way we could dodge just like anv, since I think we're down to 1 MR and one bug left in turnip for 1.1 conformance.
<jekstrand> anholt_: I think tpalli has it implemented. I've just been stalling because I don't know udev
<bnieuwenhuizen> I'm actually half open for just disabling the ext again
<anholt_> but cherry-picking to an old enough cts to pass might be hard given how many cts fixes we've needed.
<Sachiel> you could also unclaim VK_EXT_display_control for conformance
<jekstrand> anholt_: You won't be able to run with X11/Wayland and display at the same time anyway so shut off display.
<anholt_> jekstrand: I've looked at the MR, and it would be no better than a stub for us.
<jekstrand> anholt_: Ah
<anholt_> bogus device matching stuff
<anholt_> Sachiel: that seems like a good idea.
<anholt_> especially since the drm display stuff is pretty bogus without modifiers support
<jekstrand> Yeah... Someone needs to make modifiers work
<jekstrand> And then we'll have most of a compositor inside the Vulkan WSI code. (-:
fxkamd has quit []
<jekstrand> Oh, my... That's old.
<bnieuwenhuizen> sometimes I wonder if SteamVR should just grow the compositor and then we kill the display extension
<jekstrand> The display extension was misguided from the start IMO
<anholt_> seriously.
<jekstrand> Let's re-implement KMS through Vulkan only worse!
<bnieuwenhuizen> worst is that it doesn't have interop for anything "interesting" so you'll almost certainly outgrow it
<anholt_> given how much vulkan tries not to do toy apis, it sure sounds like a toy.
<jekstrand> Not arguing.....
<bnieuwenhuizen> that said at this time disabling support for SteamVR is kiinda not an option for RADV
<jekstrand> heh
<jekstrand> Really, the reason why VK_KHR_display and friends exists is to let Nvidia support linux without doing anything upstream.
<jekstrand> #reality
<bnieuwenhuizen> also kinda interesting that VK_EXT_display_control supports like 3 separate things but doesn't have feature bits
<jekstrand> *sigh*
<daniels> jstultz: hmmm, I never saw Hridya's replies - I wonder if they got DKIM-binned, as a lot of @google does :\
<jstultz> daniels: :(
<daniels> jstultz: if we have time and material, then let's take over the pres-time slot and do cgroups instead
<daniels> it's good stuff to discuss, and we have a much more relevant audience for cgroups than we do timing
<daniels> (plus timing really does bleed into robclark's)
<jstultz> daniels: I mean, i'm not sure there's new prepped material other then hridya's slides?

<daniels> maybe we could just replay to a different and hopefully wider audience then :P

<haagch> can you do vendor neutral vulkan directly on kms without VK_KHR_display?
<daniels> jstultz: thanks so much
<daniels> haagch: no
<haagch> we have support for that in the monado compositor because the nvidia tegra driver doesn't support VK_EXT_direct_mode_display
