+Device reset
+============
+
+The GPU stack is really complex and is prone to errors, from hardware bugs,
+faulty applications and everything in between the many layers. Some errors
+require resetting the device in order to make the device usable again. This
+section describes the expectations for DRM and usermode drivers when a
+device resets and how to propagate the reset status.
+
+Device resets can not be disabled without tainting the kernel, which can lead to
+hanging the entire kernel through shrinkers/mmu_notifiers. Userspace role in
+device resets is to propagate the message to the application and apply any
+special policy for blocking guilty applications, if any. Corollary is that
+debugging a hung GPU context require hardware support to be able to preempt such
+a GPU context while it's stopped.
+
+Kernel Mode Driver
+------------------
+
+The KMD is responsible for checking if the device needs a reset, and to perform
+it as needed. Usually a hang is detected when a job gets stuck executing. KMD
+should keep track of resets, because userspace can query any time about the
+reset status for a specific context. This is needed to propagate to the rest of
+the stack that a reset has happened. Currently, this is implemented by each
+driver separately, with no common DRM interface. Ideally this should be properly
+integrated at DRM scheduler to provide a common ground for all drivers. After a
+reset, KMD should reject new command submissions for affected contexts.
+
+User Mode Driver
+----------------
+
+After command submission, UMD should check if the submission was accepted or
+rejected. After a reset, KMD should reject submissions, and UMD can issue an
+ioctl to the KMD to check the reset status, and this can be checked more often
+if the UMD requires it. After detecting a reset, UMD will then proceed to report
+it to the application using the appropriate API error code, as explained in the
+section below about robustness.
+
+Robustness
+----------
+
+The only way to try to keep a graphical API context working after a reset is if
+it complies with the robustness aspects of the graphical API that it is using.
+
+Graphical APIs provide ways to applications to deal with device resets. However,
+there is no guarantee that the app will use such features correctly, and a
+userspace that doesn't support robust interfaces (like a non-robust
+OpenGL context or API without any robustness support like libva) leave the
+robustness handling entirely to the userspace driver. There is no strong
+community consensus on what the userspace driver should do in that case,
+since all reasonable approaches have some clear downsides.
+
+OpenGL
+~~~~~~
+
+Apps using OpenGL should use the available robust interfaces, like the
+extension ``GL_ARB_robustness`` (or ``GL_EXT_robustness`` for OpenGL ES). This
+interface tells if a reset has happened, and if so, all the context state is
+considered lost and the app proceeds by creating new ones. There's no consensus
+on what to do to if robustness is not in use.
+
+Vulkan
+~~~~~~
+
+Apps using Vulkan should check for ``VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST`` for submissions.
+This error code means, among other things, that a device reset has happened and
+it needs to recreate the contexts to keep going.
+
+Reporting causes of resets
+--------------------------
+
+Apart from propagating the reset through the stack so apps can recover, it's
+really useful for driver developers to learn more about what caused the reset in
+the first place. DRM devices should make use of devcoredump to store relevant
+information about the reset, so this information can be added to user bug
+reports.

+====================
+Asynchronous VM_BIND
+====================
+
+Nomenclature:
+=============
+
+* ``VRAM``: On-device memory. Sometimes referred to as device local memory.
+
+* ``gpu_vm``: A virtual GPU address space. Typically per process, but
+ can be shared by multiple processes.
+
+* ``VM_BIND``: An operation or a list of operations to modify a gpu_vm using
+ an IOCTL. The operations include mapping and unmapping system- or
+ VRAM memory.
+
+* ``syncobj``: A container that abstracts synchronization objects. The
+ synchronization objects can be either generic, like dma-fences or
+ driver specific. A syncobj typically indicates the type of the
+ underlying synchronization object.
+
+* ``in-syncobj``: Argument to a VM_BIND IOCTL, the VM_BIND operation waits
+ for these before starting.
+
+* ``out-syncobj``: Argument to a VM_BIND_IOCTL, the VM_BIND operation
+ signals these when the bind operation is complete.
+
+* ``dma-fence``: A cross-driver synchronization object. A basic
+ understanding of dma-fences is required to digest this
+ document. Please refer to the ``DMA Fences`` section of the
+ :doc:`dma-buf doc </driver-api/dma-buf>`.
+
+* ``memory fence``: A synchronization object, different from a dma-fence.
+ A memory fence uses the value of a specified memory location to determine
+ signaled status. A memory fence can be awaited and signaled by both
+ the GPU and CPU. Memory fences are sometimes referred to as
+ user-fences, userspace-fences or gpu futexes and do not necessarily obey
+ the dma-fence rule of signaling within a "reasonable amount of time".
+ The kernel should thus avoid waiting for memory fences with locks held.
+
+* ``long-running workload``: A workload that may take more than the
+ current stipulated dma-fence maximum signal delay to complete and
+ which therefore needs to set the gpu_vm or the GPU execution context in
+ a certain mode that disallows completion dma-fences.
+
+* ``exec function``: An exec function is a function that revalidates all
+ affected gpu_vmas, submits a GPU command batch and registers the
+ dma_fence representing the GPU command's activity with all affected
+ dma_resvs. For completeness, although not covered by this document,
+ it's worth mentioning that an exec function may also be the
+ revalidation worker that is used by some drivers in compute /
+ long-running mode.
+
+* ``bind context``: A context identifier used for the VM_BIND
+ operation. VM_BIND operations that use the same bind context can be
+ assumed, where it matters, to complete in order of submission. No such
+ assumptions can be made for VM_BIND operations using separate bind contexts.
+
+* ``UMD``: User-mode driver.
+
+* ``KMD``: Kernel-mode driver.
+
+
+Synchronous / Asynchronous VM_BIND operation
+============================================
+
+Synchronous VM_BIND
+___________________
+With Synchronous VM_BIND, the VM_BIND operations all complete before the
+IOCTL returns. A synchronous VM_BIND takes neither in-fences nor
+out-fences. Synchronous VM_BIND may block and wait for GPU operations;
+for example swap-in or clearing, or even previous binds.
+
+Asynchronous VM_BIND
+____________________
+Asynchronous VM_BIND accepts both in-syncobjs and out-syncobjs. While the
+IOCTL may return immediately, the VM_BIND operations wait for the in-syncobjs
+before modifying the GPU page-tables, and signal the out-syncobjs when
+the modification is done in the sense that the next exec function that
+awaits for the out-syncobjs will see the change. Errors are reported
+synchronously.
+In low-memory situations the implementation may block, performing the
+VM_BIND synchronously, because there might not be enough memory
+immediately available for preparing the asynchronous operation.
+
+If the VM_BIND IOCTL takes a list or an array of operations as an argument,
+the in-syncobjs needs to signal before the first operation starts to
+execute, and the out-syncobjs signal after the last operation
+completes. Operations in the operation list can be assumed, where it
+matters, to complete in order.
+
+Since asynchronous VM_BIND operations may use dma-fences embedded in
+out-syncobjs and internally in KMD to signal bind completion, any
+memory fences given as VM_BIND in-fences need to be awaited
+synchronously before the VM_BIND ioctl returns, since dma-fences,
+required to signal in a reasonable amount of time, can never be made
+to depend on memory fences that don't have such a restriction.
+
+The purpose of an Asynchronous VM_BIND operation is for user-mode
+drivers to be able to pipeline interleaved gpu_vm modifications and
+exec functions. For long-running workloads, such pipelining of a bind
+operation is not allowed and any in-fences need to be awaited
+synchronously. The reason for this is twofold. First, any memory
+fences gated by a long-running workload and used as in-syncobjs for the
+VM_BIND operation will need to be awaited synchronously anyway (see
+above). Second, any dma-fences used as in-syncobjs for VM_BIND
+operations for long-running workloads will not allow for pipelining
+anyway since long-running workloads don't allow for dma-fences as
+out-syncobjs, so while theoretically possible the use of them is
+questionable and should be rejected until there is a valuable use-case.
+Note that this is not a limitation imposed by dma-fence rules, but
+rather a limitation imposed to keep KMD implementation simple. It does
+not affect using dma-fences as dependencies for the long-running
+workload itself, which is allowed by dma-fence rules, but rather for
+the VM_BIND operation only.
+
+An asynchronous VM_BIND operation may take substantial time to
+complete and signal the out_fence. In particular if the operation is
+deeply pipelined behind other VM_BIND operations and workloads
+submitted using exec functions. In that case, UMD might want to avoid a
+subsequent VM_BIND operation to be queued behind the first one if
+there are no explicit dependencies. In order to circumvent such a queue-up, a
+VM_BIND implementation may allow for VM_BIND contexts to be
+created. For each context, VM_BIND operations will be guaranteed to
+complete in the order they were submitted, but that is not the case
+for VM_BIND operations executing on separate VM_BIND contexts. Instead
+KMD will attempt to execute such VM_BIND operations in parallel but
+leaving no guarantee that they will actually be executed in
+parallel. There may be internal implicit dependencies that only KMD knows
+about, for example page-table structure changes. A way to attempt
+to avoid such internal dependencies is to have different VM_BIND
+contexts use separate regions of a VM.
+
+Also for VM_BINDS for long-running gpu_vms the user-mode driver should typically
+select memory fences as out-fences since that gives greater flexibility for
+the kernel mode driver to inject other operations into the bind /
+unbind operations. Like for example inserting breakpoints into batch
+buffers. The workload execution can then easily be pipelined behind
+the bind completion using the memory out-fence as the signal condition
+for a GPU semaphore embedded by UMD in the workload.
+
+There is no difference in the operations supported or in
+multi-operation support between asynchronous VM_BIND and synchronous VM_BIND.
+
+Multi-operation VM_BIND IOCTL error handling and interrupts
+===========================================================
+
+The VM_BIND operations of the IOCTL may error for various reasons, for
+example due to lack of resources to complete and due to interrupted
+waits.
+In these situations UMD should preferably restart the IOCTL after
+taking suitable action.
+If UMD has over-committed a memory resource, an -ENOSPC error will be
+returned, and UMD may then unbind resources that are not used at the
+moment and rerun the IOCTL. On -EINTR, UMD should simply rerun the
+IOCTL and on -ENOMEM user-space may either attempt to free known
+system memory resources or fail. In case of UMD deciding to fail a
+bind operation, due to an error return, no additional action is needed
+to clean up the failed operation, and the VM is left in the same state
+as it was before the failing IOCTL.
+Unbind operations are guaranteed not to return any errors due to
+resource constraints, but may return errors due to, for example,
+invalid arguments or the gpu_vm being banned.
+In the case an unexpected error happens during the asynchronous bind
+process, the gpu_vm will be banned, and attempts to use it after banning
+will return -ENOENT.
+
+Example: The Xe VM_BIND uAPI
+============================
+
+Starting with the VM_BIND operation struct, the IOCTL call can take
+zero, one or many such operations. A zero number means only the
+synchronization part of the IOCTL is carried out: an asynchronous
+VM_BIND updates the syncobjects, whereas a sync VM_BIND waits for the
+implicit dependencies to be fulfilled.

Intel GPU Basics
----------------
-An Intel GPU has multiple engines. There are several engine types.
-
-- RCS engine is for rendering 3D and performing compute, this is named
- `I915_EXEC_RENDER` in user space.
-- BCS is a blitting (copy) engine, this is named `I915_EXEC_BLT` in user
- space.
-- VCS is a video encode and decode engine, this is named `I915_EXEC_BSD`
- in user space
-- VECS is video enhancement engine, this is named `I915_EXEC_VEBOX` in user
- space.
-- The enumeration `I915_EXEC_DEFAULT` does not refer to specific engine;
- instead it is to be used by user space to specify a default rendering
- engine (for 3D) that may or may not be the same as RCS.
+An Intel GPU has multiple engines. There are several engine types:

+- Render Command Streamer (RCS). An engine for rendering 3D and

+- Blitting Command Streamer (BCS). An engine for performing blitting and/or

+- Video Enhancement Command Streamer (VECS). An engine for video enhancement.
+ Also sometimes called 'VEBOX' in hardware documentation.
+- Compute Command Streamer (CCS). An engine that has access to the media and

+- Graphics Security Controller (GSCCS). A dedicated engine for internal
+ communication with GSC controller on security related tasks like
+ High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), Protected Xe Path (PXP),
+ and HuC firmware authentication.
The Intel GPU family is a family of integrated GPU's using Unified
Memory Access. For having the GPU "do work", user space will feed the
