[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v6 3/3] drm/i915: Predictive governor to control slice/subslice/eu

Ankit Navik ankit.p.navik at intel.com
Tue Nov 26 04:08:30 UTC 2019


High resolution timer is used for predictive governor to control
eu/slice/subslice based on workloads.

param is provided to enable/disable/update timer configuration

V2:
 * Fix code style.
 * Move predictive_load_timer into a drm_i915_private
   structure.
 * Make generic function to set optimum config. (Tvrtko Ursulin)

V3:
 * Rebase.
 * Fix race condition for predictive load set.
 * Add slack to start hrtimer for more power efficient. (Tvrtko Ursulin)

V4:
 * Fix data type and initialization of mutex to protect predictive load state.
 * Move predictive timer init to i915_gem_init_early. (Tvrtko Ursulin)
 * Move debugfs to kernel parameter.

V5:
 * Rebase.
 * Remove mutex for pred_timer

V6:
 * Rebase.
