From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>
Doing a lot of work in the interrupt handler introduces huge
latencies to the system as a whole.
Most dramatic effect can be seen by running an all engine
stress test like igt/gem_exec_nop/all where, when the kernel
config is lean enough, the whole system can be brought into
multi-second periods of complete non-interactivty. That can
look for example like this:
NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s! [kworker/u8:3:143]

I could not explain, or find a code path, which would explain
a +20 second lockup, but from some instrumentation it was
apparent the interrupts off proportion of time was between
10-25% under heavy load which is quite bad.
When a interrupt "cliff" is reached, which was >~320k irq/s on
my machine, the whole system goes into a terrible state of the
above described multi-second lockups.
By moving the GT interrupt handling to a tasklet in a most
simple way, the problem above disappears completely.
Testing the effect on sytem-wide latencies using
igt/gem_syslatency shows the following before this patch:
gem_syslatency: cycles=1532739, latency mean=416531.829us max=2499237us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1839434, latency mean=1458099.157us max=4998944us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1432570, latency mean=2688.451us max=1201185us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1533543, latency mean=416520.499us max=2498886us
This shows that the unrelated process is experiencing huge
delays in its wake-up latency. After the patch the results
look like this:
gem_syslatency: cycles=808907, latency mean=53.133us max=1640us
gem_syslatency: cycles=862154, latency mean=62.778us max=2117us
gem_syslatency: cycles=856039, latency mean=58.079us max=2123us
gem_syslatency: cycles=841683, latency mean=56.914us max=1667us
Showing a huge improvement in the unrelated process wake-up
latency. It also shows an approximate halving in the number
of total empty batches submitted during the test. This may
not be worrying since the test puts the driver under
a very unrealistic load with ncpu threads doing empty batch
submission to all GPU engines each.
More interesting scenario with regards to throughput is
"gem_latency -n 100" which shows 25% better throughput and
CPU usage, and 14% better dispatch latencies.
I did not find any gains or regressions with Synmark2 or
GLbench under light testing. More benchmarking is certainly
required.
v2:
* execlists_lock should be taken as spin_lock_bh when
queuing work from userspace now. (Chris Wilson)
* uncore.lock must be taken with spin_lock_irq when
submitting requests since that now runs from either
softirq or process context.
v3:
* Expanded commit message with more testing data;
* converted missed locking sites to _bh;
* added execlist_lock comment. (Chris Wilson)
