Often, we find ourselves facing a workload where the user knows in
advance what GPU frequency they require for it to complete in a timely
manner, and using past experience they can outperform the HW assisted
RPS autotuning. An example might be kodi (HTPC) where they know that
video decoding and compositing require a minimum frequency to avoid ever
dropping a frame, or conversely know when they are in a powersaving mode
and would rather have slower updates than ramp up the GPU frequency and
power consumption. Other workloads may defeat the autotuning entirely
and need manual control to meet their performance goals, e.g. bursty
applications which require low latency.

To accommodate the varying needs of different applications, that may be
running concurrently, we want a more flexible system than a global limit
supplied by sysfs. To this end, we offer the application the option to
set their desired frequency bounds on the context itself, and apply those
bounds when we execute commands from the application, switching between
bounds just as easily as we switch between the clients themselves.

The clients can query the range supported by the HW, or at least the
range they are restricted to, and then freely select frequencies within
that range that they want to run at. (They can select just a single
frequency if they so choose.) As this is subject to the global limit
supplied by the user in sysfs, and a client can only reduce the range of
frequencies they allow the HW to run at, we allow all clients to adjust
their request (and not restrict raising the minimum to privileged
CAP_SYS_NICE clients).

Change looks good to me. I have one query below.

I think we also need to do this (update_engine(NULL)) while handling preemption completion for both GuC and execlists also. Doing it as part of execlists_cancel_port_requests will cover all those cases including reset.
Am I right?
