Hmm, so the reason why the user distinction exists is that we may
momentarily remain active after the last user context is switch out, if
there is a preemption event still pending. Keeping the user tag does
help maintain that distinction.

There are patches afoot to change that, so since I needed to inspect
port here it seemed to tie in nicely with the proposed changes to
execlists_port_complete.

A few days ago, yes.

Because on a context switch I need to update the GPU clocks, update
tracking for preemption, and that's just the two I have in my tree that
need to land in the next couple of weeks...
Currently I have,
static inline void
execlists_begin(struct intel_engine_execlists *execlists,
struct execlist_port *port)
{
struct intel_engine_cs *engine =
container_of(execlists, typeof(*engine), execlists);
struct i915_request *rq = port_request(port);
execlists_set_active_once(execlists, EXECLISTS_ACTIVE_USER);
intel_rps_update_engine(engine, rq->ctx);
execlists->current_priority = rq_prio(rq);
}
static inline void
execlists_end(struct intel_engine_execlists *execlists)
{
struct intel_engine_cs *engine =
container_of(execlists, typeof(*engine), execlists);
execlists->current_priority = INT_MIN;
intel_rps_update_engine(engine, NULL);
execlists_clear_active(execlists, EXECLISTS_ACTIVE_USER);
}

This is only half the patch to show the gist. :)
