On unwinding the active request we give it a small (limited to internal
priority levels) boost to prevent it from being gazumped a second time.
However, this means that it can be promoted to above the request that
triggered the preemption request, causing a preempt-to-idle cycle for no
change. We can avoid this if we take the boost into account when
checking if the preemption request is valid.
v2: After preemption the active request will be after the preemptee if
they end up with equal priority.
v3: Tvrtko pointed out that this, the existing logic, makes
I915_PRIORITY_WAIT non-preemptible. Document this interesting quirk!
v4: Prove Tvrtko was right about WAIT being non-preemptible and test it.
I thought there would be a simpler solution coming for now. :)
In this version WAIT only doesn't preempt if the last rq from a ctx in
port0 is already active, otherwise it still preempts.
Also, by making WAIT not-preempt in this way, we kick the tasklet,
right? Only to decide we won't preempt. Or might not, depending on
i915_request_started.
I thought for now we would do something like:
static inline bool __execlists_need_preempt(int prio, int last)
{
return prio > max(I915_MIN_PREEMPT_PRIORITY, last);
}
With some consideration about what to do about needless tasklet kicking
as well..
Regards,
Tvrtko
