#Ethereal
cyan phoenix
Working on speed improvements and more shit
cyan phoenix
ethereal has GPT, page cache, nvme, and ext2 now

ethereal's page cache is so peak

I read it as weak

nahhhh this thing is my pride and joy
9 gigabyte per second writes

9 gigabyte per second writes
2h poweroff time

2h poweroff time
15s

"Please wait while the system writes unsaved data to disk."
cyan phoenix
To sync to disk at least

2h poweroff time
🤫 nvme clustered writes
radiant herald
fair
cyan phoenix
so while my disk writeback speed is extremely fast
my ext2 driver is not
There is definitely a bug here that's dropping speeds so slow in the caching layer but probably also just ext2 sucks ass
cyan phoenix
are you doing virtio accel?
nah just virtio-gpu, want to mainly work on the modesetting portion with some hardware cursor shenanigans
cyan phoenix
just boilerplate for now need to make the userspace
cyan phoenix
yeah the modesetting is quite simple if you have virtqueues
well i want a full stack with crtcs/planes/encoders/connectors
gentle burrow
so drm?
cyan phoenix
yeah
gentle burrow
nice
solid cobalt
a friend of mine has already does his own version so im learning as well
Does virtio accel work for them?
gentle burrow
virtio accel won't work for me sadly because i'm on novideo 4070
cyan phoenix
Does virtio accel work for them?
his stack doesnt actually have any drivers since he found other things he needed to do in his kernel
solid cobalt
Oh
turbid summit
his stack doesnt actually have any drivers since he found other things he needed...
Hey, i have bga and vga drivers
cyan phoenix
true my bad 
cyan phoenix
have implemented these ioctls
cyan phoenix
IO_GPU_CREATE_DUMB, IO_GPU_MAP_DUMB, IO_GPU_ADD_FB working and implementing on the backend side of things (virtio-gpu)
Only things left is SET_CRTC and SET_PLANE and then we should be able to do modesetting
dull crater
are you planning on doing virtio-gpu accel btw
cyan phoenix
are you planning on doing virtio-gpu accel btw
you mean the GL variant or something else
dull crater
VirGL, Venus, either one of them
cyan phoenix
I might but for now the goal is to just get modesetting
then we can see about GL passthrough
dull crater
I'm asking as I did some investigation into that lately, and I might dabble with virtio-gpu and Venus a bit in the future
the one annoyance about that is that I will need to expose something to support vulkan explicit sync stuff
cyan phoenix
detecting modesets
