[PATCH 01/13] drm/i915: Don't set queue_priority_hint if we don't kick the submission

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

 



If we change the priority of the active context, then it has no impact
on the decision of whether to preempt the active context -- we don't
preempt the context with itself. In this situation, we elide the tasklet
rescheduling and should *not* be marking up the queue_priority_hint as
that may mask a later submission where we decide we don't have to kick
the tasklet as a higher priority submission is pending (spoiler alert,
it was not).
