drm/i915: Allow userspace to clone contexts on creation
A usecase arose out of handling context recovery in mesa, whereby they wish to recreate a context with fresh logical state but preserving all other details of the original. Currently, they create a new context and iterate over which bits they want to copy across, but it would much more convenient if they were able to just pass in a target context to clone during creation. This essentially extends the setparam during creation to pull the details from a target context instead of the user supplied parameters. The ideal here is that we don't expose control over anything more than can be obtained via CONTEXT_PARAM. That is userspace retains explicit control over all features, and this api is just convenience. For example, you could replace struct context_param p = { .param = CONTEXT_PARAM_VM }; param.ctx_id = old_id; gem_context_get_param(&p.param); new_id = gem_context_create(); param.ctx_id = new_id; gem_context_set_param(&p.param); gem_vm_destroy(param.value); /* drop the ref to VM_ID handle */ with struct create_ext_param p = { { .name = CONTEXT_CREATE_CLONE }, .clone_id = old_id, .flags = CLONE_FLAGS_VM } new_id = gem_context_create_ext(&p); and not have to worry about stray namespace pollution etc. Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190521211134.16117-5-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
