If there's a next job, you should update the entity's timestamp to that
of the next job. Also you shouldn't have to update the timestamp when there
is no next job. And to be true to the comment above, you should have this here:
-skip:
- if (drm_sched_policy == DRM_SCHED_POLICY_FIFO)
- drm_sched_rq_update_fifo(entity,
- (sched_job ? sched_job->submit_ts : ktime_get()));
+ if (drm_sched_policy == DRM_SCHED_POLICY_FIFO) {
+ struct drm_sched_job *next;
+
+ next = to_drm_sched_job(spsc_queue_peek(&entity->job_queue));
+ if (next)
+ drm_sched_rq_update_fifo(entity, next->submit_ts);
+ }
+Out:
return sched_job;
And then change the "goto skip;" to "goto Out;" in the preceding code.
This way you update the entity's timestamp to that of the next (oldest) job
in the entity's job queue, if there is a next job. You also avoid getting
a timestamp from the kernel.

Get rid of this "ts" variable.

Just assign the result of "ktime_get()" here:
sched_job->submit_ts = ktime_get();

And here do this:
drm_sched_rq_update_fifo(entity, sched_job->submit_ts);
You want to show that you're updating timestamps to that of the newly
submitted job, as opposed to some arbitrary "ts" variable.

No negative checks--it makes the code messy and hard to understand, plus
you use positive checks for that exact condition everywhere else in
this patch. Also, since you're introducing DRM_SCHED_POLICY_FIFO in this
patch, you want to check for exactly that new policy which you're introducing,
like this:
- entity = drm_sched_policy != DRM_SCHED_POLICY_FIFO ?
- drm_sched_rq_select_entity_rr(&sched->sched_rq[i]) :
- drm_sched_rq_select_entity_fifo(&sched->sched_rq[i]);
+ entity = drm_sched_policy == DRM_SCHED_POLICY_FIFO ?
+ drm_sched_rq_select_entity_fifo(&sched->sched_rq[i]) :
+ drm_sched_rq_select_entity_rr(&sched->sched_rq[i]);
