Intel Posts New Patches For GPU Shared Virtual Memory With Xe Driver
Intel Linux graphics driver engineers continue to be very busy enabling the Xe Direct Rendering Manager that is becoming the default kernel graphics driver beginning with Xe2 Lunar Lake and Battlemage hardware (it currently works as an experimental option with existing Intel graphics hardware going back to Tigerlake)
Tacking SVM support onto the Xe driver has been a lengthy journey and out today are the latest "request for comments" (RFC) patches on this front. Today's patches get the GPU SVM layer built for the Xe driver and exposing a new user-space API around the Shared Virtual Memory handling. Those interested in this GPU Shared Virtual Memory work for the modern Intel Xe kernel graphics driver can check out these 28 RFC patches for all the details.
