[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v4 4/8] drm/i915: vgpu context submission pv optimization

[Chris Wilson]

Quoting Xiaolin Zhang (2019-03-29 13:32:40)
> It is performance optimization to override the actual submisison backend
> in order to eliminate execlists csb process and reduce mmio trap numbers
> for workload submission without contextswith interrupt by talking with
> GVT via PV submisison notification mechanism between guest and GVT.

> Use PV_SUBMISSION to control this level of pv optimization.
> 
> v0: RFC
> v1: rebase
> v2: added pv ops for pv context submission. to maximize code resuse,
> introduced 2 more ops (submit_ports & preempt_context) instead of 1 op
> (set_default_submission) in engine structure. pv version of
> submit_ports and preempt_context implemented.
> v3:
> 1. to reduce more code duplication, code refactor and replaced 2 ops
> "submit_ports & preempt_contex" from v2 by 1 ops "write_desc"
> in engine structure. pv version of write_des implemented.
> 2. added VGT_G2V_ELSP_SUBMIT for g2v pv notification.
> v4: implemented pv elsp submission tasklet as the backend workload
> submisison by talking to GVT with PV notificaiton mechanism and renamed
> VGT_G2V_ELSP_SUBMIT to VGT_G2V_PV_SUBMISIION.

You call this an optimisation!
