[PATCH 17/40] drm/i915: Priority boost for waiting clients

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Thu Sep 20 20:40:25 UTC 2018


Latency is in the eye of the beholder. In the case where a client stops
and waits for the gpu, give that request chain a small priority boost
(not so that it overtakes higher priority clients, to preserve the
external ordering) so that ideally the wait completes earlier.

Testcase: igt/gem_sync/switch-default
