[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gt: Ratelimit display power w/a

[Chris Wilson]

For very light workloads that frequently park, acquiring the display
power well (required to prevent the dmc from trashing the system) takes
longer than the execution. A good example is the igt_coherency selftest,
which is slowed down by an order of magnitude in the worst case with
powerwell cycling. To prevent frequent cycling, while keeping our fast
soft-rc6, use a timer to delay release of the display powerwell.
