[PATCH v5 23/35] drm/i915: Defer seqno allocation until actual hardware submission time

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

 



From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@xxxxxxxxx>

The seqno value is now only used for the final test for completion of
a request. It is no longer used to track the request through the
software stack. Thus it is no longer necessary to allocate the seqno
immediately with the request. Instead, it can be done lazily and left
until the request is actually sent to the hardware. This is particular
advantageous with a GPU scheduler as the requests can then be
re-ordered between their creation and their hardware submission
without having out of order seqnos.

v2: i915_add_request() can't fail!

Combine with 'drm/i915: Assign seqno at start of exec_final()'
Various bits of code during the execbuf code path need a seqno value
to be assigned to the request. This change makes this assignment
explicit at the start of submission_final() rather than relying on an
auto-generated seqno to have happened already. This is in preparation
for a future patch which changes seqno values to be assigned lazily
(during add_request).

v3: Updated to use locally cached request pointer.

v4: Changed some white space and comment formatting to keep the style
checker happy.

For: VIZ-1587
