[PATCH 2/3] drm/i915: Inherit process nice for context scheduling priority
Tvrtko Ursulin

Tue Apr 5 14:53:44 UTC 2022
From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>
Introduce the concept of context nice value which matches the process
nice.
We do this by extending the struct i915_sched_attr and add a helper
(i915_sched_attr_priority) to be used to convert to effective priority
when used by backend code and for priority sorting.
Context nice is then inherited from the process which creates the GEM
context and utilised secondary to context priority, but only when the
latter has been left at the default setting in order to avoid disturbing
any application made choices of low and high (batch processing and maybe
latency sensitive compositing). In this case nice value adjusts the
effective priority in the narrow band of -19 to +20 around
I915_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_PRIORITY.
This means that userspace using the context priority uapi directly has a
wider range of possible adjustments (in practice that only applies to
execlists platforms - with GuC there are only three priority buckets), but
in all cases nice adjustment has the expected effect: positive nice
lowering the scheduling priority and negative nice raising it.
