[PATCH] drm/i915/selftest: Bump up sample period for busy stats selftest

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

 



Engine busyness samples around a 10ms period is failing with busyness
ranging approx. from 87% to 115%. The expected range is +/- 5% of the
sample period.

When determining busyness of active engine, the GuC based engine
busyness implementation relies on a 64 bit timestamp register read. The
latency incurred by this register read causes the failure.

On DG1, when the test fails, the observed latencies range from 900us -
1.5ms.

One solution tried was to reduce the latency between reg read and
CPU timestamp capture, but such optimization does not add value to user
since the CPU timestamp obtained here is only used for (1) selftest and
(2) i915 rps implementation specific to execlist scheduler. Also, this
solution only reduces the frequency of failure and does not eliminate
it.

In order to make the selftest more robust and account for such
latencies, increase the sample period to 100 ms.
