[PATCH 3/3] drm/i915/perf: add new open param to configure polling of OA buffer

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

 



From: Lionel Landwerlin <lionel.g.landwerlin@xxxxxxxxx>

This new parameter let's the application choose how often the OA
buffer should be checked on the CPU side for data availability. Longer
polling period tend to reduce CPU overhead if the application does not
care about somewhat real time data collection.

v2: Allow disabling polling completely with 0 value (Lionel)
v3: Version the new parameter (Joonas)
v4: Rebase (Umesh)
v5: Make poll delay value of 0 invalid (Umesh)
v6:
- Describe poll_oa_period (Ashutosh)
- Fix comment for new poll parameter (Lionel)
- Drop open_flags in read_properties_unlocked (Lionel)
- Rename uapi parameter (Ashutosh)
v7: Reword the comment in uapi (Ashutosh)
