[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 18/18] drm/i915: Allow user control over preempt timeout on their important context

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Mon Apr 9 11:14:13 UTC 2018


One usecase would be to couple in via EGL_NV_context_priority_realtime
in userspace to provide some QoS guarantees in conjunction with setting
the highest priority.
