[PATCH 36/57] drm/i915: Fair low-latency scheduling

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Sat Jan 2 20:52:15 UTC 2021


The first "scheduler" was a topographical sorting of requests into
priority order. The execution order was deterministic, the earliest
submitted, highest priority request would be executed first. Priority
inheritance ensured that inversions were kept at bay, and allowed us to
dynamically boost priorities (e.g. for interactive pageflips).

The minimalistic timeslicing scheme was an attempt to introduce fairness
between long running requests, by evicting the active request at the end
of a timeslice and moving it to the back of its priority queue (while
ensuring that dependencies were kept in order). For short running
requests from many clients of equal priority, the scheme is still very
much FIFO submission ordering, and as unfair as before.

To impose fairness, we need an external metric that ensures that clients
are interpersed, so we don't execute one long chain from client A before
executing any of client B. This could be imposed by the clients
themselves by using fences based on an external clock, that is they only
submit work for a "frame" at frame-intervals, instead of submitting as
much work as they are able to. The standard SwapBuffers approach is akin
to double bufferring, where as one frame is being executed, the next is
being submitted, such that there is always a maximum of two frames per
client in the pipeline and so ideally maintains consistent input-output
latency. Even this scheme exhibits unfairness under load as a single
client will execute two frames back to back before the next, and with
enough clients, deadlines will be missed.

The idea introduced by BFS/MuQSS is that fairness is introduced by
metering with an external clock. Every request, when it becomes ready to
execute is assigned a virtual deadline, and execution order is then
determined by earliest deadline. Priority is used as a hint, rather than
strict ordering, where high priority requests have earlier deadlines,
but not necessarily earlier than outstanding work. Thus work is executed
in order of 'readiness', with timeslicing to demote long running work.

The Achille's heel of this scheduler is its strong preference for
low-latency and favouring of new queues. Whereas it was easy to dominate
the old scheduler by flooding it with many requests over a short period
of time, the new scheduler can be dominated by a 'synchronous' client
that waits for each of its requests to complete before submitting the
next. As such a client has no history, it is always considered
ready-to-run and receives an earlier deadline than the long running
requests. This is compensated for by refreshing the current execution's
deadline and by disallowing preemption for timeslice shuffling.

To check the impact on throughput (often the downfall of latency
sensitive schedulers), we used gem_wsim to simulate various transcode
workloads with different load balancers, and varying the number of
competing [heterogenous] clients.

The impact was on average 0.1% under contention due to the change in
context execution order and number of context switches. The biggest
swings are due to the execution ordering favouring one client or another,
and maybe room for improvement.
