param is provided to enable/disable/update timer configuration

V2:
  * Fix code style.
  * Move predictive_load_timer into a drm_i915_private
    structure.
  * Make generic function to set optimum config. (Tvrtko Ursulin)

V3:
  * Rebase.
  * Fix race condition for predictive load set.
  * Add slack to start hrtimer for more power efficient. (Tvrtko Ursulin)

V4:
  * Fix data type and initialization of mutex to protect predictive load
    state.
  * Move predictive timer init to i915_gem_init_early. (Tvrtko Ursulin)
  * Move debugfs to kernel parameter.

V5:
  * Rebase.
  * Remove mutex for pred_timer

V6:
  * Rebase.
  * Fix warnings.

Now ideally we don't want to iterate contexts from a timer for more than one reason. Most interesting one is that the configuration you are setting here is not actually applied until __execlists_update_reg_state. Which runs only when contexts is getting pinned (or re-pinned).

You mentioned you did some experiment where you did something on context pinning and that it did not work so well. I don't know what that was though. I don't think that was ever posted?

What I am thinking is this: You drop the timer altogether. Instead in __execlists_update_reg_state you look at your gem_context->req_cnt and implement your logic there.

You convert your selected configuration to struct intel_sseu (so counts to bitmasks) and pass it to intel_sseu_make_rpcs which does the right thing.

+
+	hrtimer_forward_now(hrtimer,
+			    ms_to_ktime(dev_priv->predictive_load_enable));
+
+	return HRTIMER_RESTART;
+}
+
+/**
+ * intel_deu_init - Initialize dynamic EU
+ * @dev_priv: i915 device instance
+ *
+ * This function is called at driver load
+ */
+void intel_deu_init(struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv)
+{
+	dev_priv->predictive_load_enable = i915_modparams.deu_enable;
+	hrtimer_init(&dev_priv->pred_timer, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, HRTIMER_MODE_REL);
+	dev_priv->pred_timer.function = predictive_load_cb;
+
+	if (dev_priv->predictive_load_enable) {
+		if (!hrtimer_active(&dev_priv->pred_timer))
+			hrtimer_start_range_ns(&dev_priv->pred_timer,
+			ms_to_ktime(dev_priv->predictive_load_enable),
+			SLACK_TIMER_NSEC,
+			HRTIMER_MODE_REL_PINNED);
+	} else {
+		hrtimer_cancel(&dev_priv->pred_timer);

Why do you need to stop something which hasn't been started?

And more importantly, who stops the timer on driver unload?
