[PATCH v4 07/15] drm/i915/perf: better pipeline aged/aging tail updates

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

 



This updates the tail pointer race workaround handling to updating the
'aged' pointer before looking to start aging a new one. There's the
possibility that there is already new data available and so we can
immediately start aging a new pointer without having to first wait for a
later hrtimer callback (and then another to age).
