[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3] drm/i915: Prevent waiting inside ring construction for critical sections

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Wed Feb 3 15:00:12 UTC 2021


>From some contexts, we may not be allowed to wait during request
construction. For example, in the powermanagement handler that should
never block (as the engine was idle) and the driver would be crippled if
we did. Similarly, the user may request that the execbuf does not block,
and so would prefer to handle an EWOULDBLOCK error instead. In both
cases we need to propagate the flag to various blocking wait points, the
first and usually hit is intel_ring::wait_for_space().

Testcase: igt/gem_ctx_ringsize/spin
