[PATCH 58/58] drm/i915/gt: Limit C-states while waiting for requests

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Wed Jan 6 01:10:38 UTC 2021


Allow the sysadmin to specify whether we should prevent the CPU from
entering higher C-states while waiting for the CPU, in order to reduce
the latency of request completions and so speed up client continuations.

The target dma latency can be adjusted per-engine using,

	/sys/class/drm/card?/engine/*/dma_latency_ns

(For waiting on a virtual engine, the underlying physical engine is used
for the wait once the request is active, so set all the physical engines
in the virtual set to the same target dma latency.)

Note that in most cases, the ratelimiting step does not appear to the
interrupt latency per se, but secondary effects of avoiding additional
memory latencies while active.
