Buffer object allocation is relatively + straightforward and largely provided by Linux's shmem layer, which + provides memory to back each object. When mapped into the GTT + or used in a command buffer, the backing pages for an object are + flushed to memory and marked write combined so as to be coherent + with the GPU. Likewise, when the GPU finishes rendering to an object, + if the CPU accesses it, it must be made coherent with the CPU's view + of memory, usually involving GPU cache flushing of various kinds. + This core CPU<->GPU coherency management is provided by the GEM + set domain function, which evaluates an object's current domain and + performs any necessary flushing or synchronization to put the object + into the desired coherency domain (note that the object may be busy, + i.e. an active render target; in that case the set domain function + will block the client and wait for rendering to complete before + performing any necessary flushing operations). + </para> + <para> + Perhaps the most important GEM function is providing a command + execution interface to clients. Client programs construct command + buffers containing references to previously allocated memory objects + and submit them to GEM. At that point, GEM will take care to bind + all the objects into the GTT, execute the buffer, and provide + necessary synchronization between clients accessing the same buffers. + This often involves evicting some objects from the GTT and re-binding + others (a fairly expensive operation), and providing relocation + support which hides fixed GTT offsets from clients. Clients must + take care not to submit command buffers that reference more objects + than can fit in the GTT or GEM will reject them and no rendering + will occur. Similarly, if several objects in the buffer require + fence registers to be allocated for correct rendering (e.g. 2D blits + on pre-965 chips), care must be taken not to require more fence + registers than are available to the client.
