From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@xxxxxxxxx> It seems that the DMC likes to transition between the DC states a lot when there are no connected displays (no active power domains) during command submission. This activity on DC states has a negative impact on the performance of the chip with huge latencies observed in the interrupt handlers and elsewhere. Simple tests like igt/gem_latency -n 0 are slowed down by a factor of eight. Work around it by introducing a new power domain named, POWER_DOMAIN_GT_IRQ, associtated with the "DC off" power well, which is held for the duration of command submission activity. v2: * Add commit text as comment in i915_gem_mark_busy. (Chris Wilson) * Protect macro body with braces. (Jani Nikula) v3: * Add dedicated power domain for clarity. (Chris, Imre) * Commit message and comment text updates. * Apply to all big-core GEN9 parts apart for Skylake which is pending DMC firmware release. v4: * Power domain should be inner to device runtime pm. (Chris) * Simplify NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA macro. (Chris) * Handle async DMC loading by moving the GT_IRQ power domain logic into intel_runtime_pm. (Daniel, Chris) * Include small core GEN9 as well. (Imre) v5 * Special handling for async DMC load is not needed since on failure the power domain reference is kept permanently taken. (Imre) v6: * Drop the NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA macro since all firmwares have now been deployed.
