Sorry if I mangled the reply. AMDs mail servers seem to have a hickup this morning and I have to use OWA.

+1 on this idea of dropping drm_sched_entity_set_priority if it doesn't
really work and unused.
[CK]
The problem is it kind of works, but only because of coincident and not because of good engineering.
It certainly unused in Xe and Xe has HW rings with different priorities
via the GuC interface. I belive this is also true for all new drivers
based on my interactions.
[CK]
Thx, good to know.
We should not be adding complexity the scheduler without a use case.
[CK]
Completely agree. But just for the record: Tvrtko, it's really appreciated that you looked into that.
This patch here and an internal comment from Vitaly made me realize that the scheduler had another problem in the timeout handling which allows drivers to happily create infinity fences.
*sigh* going to send a patch to fix that,
Christian.
