[PATCH v6] drm/i915/icl: Preempt-to-idle support in execlists.

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

 



The patch adds support of preempt-to-idle requesting by setting a proper
bit within Execlist Control Register, and receiving preemption result from
Context Status Buffer.

Preemption in previous gens required a special batch buffer to be executed,
so the Command Streamer never preempted to idle directly. In Icelake it is
possible, as there is a hardware mechanism to inform the kernel about
status of the preemption request.

This patch does not cover using the new preemption mechanism when GuC is
active.

The advantage of this new preemption path is that one less context switch is
needed, and returning information about preempion being complete is received
earlier. This leads to significant improvement in our IGT latency test.

Test performed: `gem_exec_latency --run-subtest render-preemption`, executed
100 times, on the same platform, same kernel, without and with this patch.
Then taken average of the execution latency times:

subcase		old preempt.	icl preempt.
render-render	853.2036	840.1176
render-bsd	2328.8708	2083.2576
render-blt	2080.1501	1852.0792
render-vebox	1553.5134	1428.762

Improvement observed:

subcase		improvement
render-render	 1.53%
render-bsd	10.55%
render-blt	10.96%
render-vebox	 8.03%

v2: Added needs_preempt_context() change so that it is not created when
    preempt-to-idle is supported. (Chris)
    Updated setting HWACK flag so that it is cleared after
    preempt-to-dle. (Chris, Daniele)
    Updated to use I915_ENGINE_HAS_PREEMPTION flag. (Chris)

v3: Fixed needs_preempt_context() change. (Chris)
    Merged preemption trigger functions to one. (Chris)
    Fixed conyext state tonot assume COMPLETED_MASK after preemption,
    since idle-to-idle case will not have it set.

v4: Simplified needs_preempt_context() change. (Daniele)
    Removed clearing HWACK flag in idle-to-idle preempt. (Daniele)

v5: Renamed inject_preempt_context(). (Daniele)
    Removed duplicated GEM_BUG_ON() on HWACK (Daniele)

v6: Added performance test results.
