[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/5] drm/i915: Implement fair lru eviction across both rings.

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Wed Aug 4 13:20:36 CEST 2010


Based in a large part upon Daniel Vetter's implementation and adapted
for handling multiple rings in a single pass.

This should lead to better gtt usage and fixes the page-fault-of-doom
triggered. The fairness is provided by scanning through the GTT space
amalgamating space in rendering order. As soon as we have a contiguous
space in the GTT large enough for the new object (and its alignment),
evict any object which lies within that space. This should keep more
objects resident in the GTT.

Doing throughput testing on a PineView machine with cairo-perf-trace
indicates that there is very little difference with the new LRU scan,
perhaps a small improvement... Except oddly for the poppler trace.
