[PATCH v2] drm/i915: Optimistically spin for the request completion

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

 



This provides a nice boost to mesa in swap bound scenarios (as mesa
throttles itself to the previous frame and given the scenario that will
complete shortly). It will also provide a good boost to systems running
with semaphores disabled and so frequently waiting on the GPU as it
switches rings. In the most favourable of microbenchmarks, this can
increase performance by around 15% - though in practice improvements
will be marginal and rarely noticeable.

v2: Account for user timeouts
