[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915/preemption: Allow preemption between submission ports

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Fri Feb 23 09:04:08 UTC 2018


Sometimes we need to boost the priority of an in-flight request, which
may lead to the situation where the second submission port then contains
a higher priority context than the first and so we need to inject a
preemption event. To do so we must always check inside
execlists_dequeue() whether there is a priority inversion between the
ports themselves as well as the head of the priority sorted queue, and we
cannot just skip dequeuing if the queue is empty.
