Let’s establish a merge plan for Xe, by writing down clear pre-merge goals, in
order to avoid unnecessary delays.
This initial document starts with a TODO list containing items with clear and
measurable key results. Xe’s initial pull request should only be sent to
dri-devel after all the items are clearly resolved.
Since many of them involve some level of a community consensus, in many cases,
the consensus will be reached in follow-up patches to this document with more
details of the API or helpers that will be developed or modified.
Besides of the items that are highlighted in this document, it is important
to highlight that Oded, has been volunteered to give the overall ack on Xe
driver as the way to confirm that it looks good for upstream.
v2: Incorporated Daniel's feedback:
- Do not make long-running compute a blocker.
- Add a mention to drm-exec that that ties to vm_bind and long-running
compute jobs. Then I also added GPUVA since I recently noticed that this
ties also to the work Matt is doing on that front.
- Added the devcoredump section.
- Add the mention to Oded being volunteered for the overall ack.
v3: Reword a bit the Async VM_BIND to incorporate Daniel's feedback on ensuring
the async vmbind consensus explicitly include Mesa, besides other kernel
drivers.

Add an entry for the new uAPI needed for DG1. Also add the overall
upstream plan, including some notes for the TTM conversion.
v2(Daniel):
- include the overall upstreaming plan
- add a note for mmap, there are differences here for TTM vs i915
- bunch of other suggestions from Daniel
v3:
(Daniel)
- add a note for set/get caching stuff
- add some more docs for existing query and extensions stuff
- add an actual code example for regions query
- bunch of other stuff
(Jason)
- uAPI change(!):
- try a simpler design with the placements extension
- rather than have a generic setparam which can cover multiple
use cases, have each extension be responsible for one thing
only
v4:
(Daniel)
- add some more notes for ttm conversion
- bunch of other stuff
(Jason)
- uAPI change(!):
- drop all the extra rsvd members for the region_query and
region_info, just keep the bare minimum needed for padding
v5:
(Jason)
- for the upstream plan, add a requirement that we send the uAPI bits
again for final sign off before turning it on for real
- document how we intend to extend the rsvd bits for the region query
(Kenneth)
- improve the comment for the smem+lmem mmap mode and caching
