[PATCH 17/17] drm/i915: Use rt priority kthread to do GuC log buffer sampling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Akash Goel <akash.goel@xxxxxxxxx>

In cases where GuC firmware generates logs at a very high rate, Driver too
needs to be fast enough to sample the log buffer in time for the half-full
draining protocol to be effective and prevent any overflows of log buffer.
So the scheduling latency of bottom half, where sampling is done, should be
kept to lowest and for that having a dedicated high priority rt kthread is a
better option compared to a dedicated high priority workqueue.
The behavior would be more deterministic with a dedicated high priority rt
kthread, compared to worker threads which could have to cater to work items
from other workqueues.
Also optimization on Driver side alone will not ensure lossless capture of
logs, under high speed logging, Userpsace should also be equally fast in
collecting the logs from relay buffer.
