[Intel-gfx] [RFC 00/37] Preemption support for GPU scheduler

[John.C.Harrison at Intel.com]

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

Added pre-emption support to the i915 GPU scheduler.

Note that this patch series was written by David Gordon. I have simply
ported it onto a more recent set of scheduler patches and am uploading
it as part of that work so that everything can be viewed at once. Also
because David is on extended vacation at the moment. Not that the
series is being sent as an RFC as there are still some things to be
tidied up. Most notably the commit messages are missing in a few
places. I am leaving those to be filled in by David when he returns.

Also, the series includes a few general fix up and improvement patches
that are not directly related to pre-emption. E.g. for improving the
error capture state. However, the pre-emption code is built upon them
so right now it is much simpler to just send the whole lot out as a
single series. It can be broken up into separate patch sets if/when
people decide it is all good stuff to be doing.

Re the pre-emption itself. It is functional and working but with the
caveat that it requires the GuC. Hence it is only operation on SKL or
later hardware. If the GuC is not available then the pre-emption
support is simply disabled in the scheduler.
