[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v5 3/4] drm/i915: Make the heartbeat play nice with long pre-emption timeouts

[John.C.Harrison at Intel.com]

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

Compute workloads are inherently not pre-emptible for long periods on
current hardware. As a workaround for this, the pre-emption timeout
for compute capable engines was disabled. This is undesirable with GuC
submission as it prevents per engine reset of hung contexts. Hence the
next patch will re-enable the timeout but bumped up by an order of
magnitude.

However, the heartbeat might not respect that. Depending upon current
activity, a pre-emption to the heartbeat pulse might not even be
attempted until the last heartbeat period. Which means that only one
period is granted for the pre-emption to occur. With the aforesaid
bump, the pre-emption timeout could be significantly larger than this
heartbeat period.

So adjust the heartbeat code to take the pre-emption timeout into
account. When it reaches the final (high priority) period, it now
ensures the delay before hitting reset is bigger than the pre-emption
timeout.

v2: Fix for selftests which adjust the heartbeat period manually.
v3: Add FIXME comment about selftests. Add extra FIXME comment and
drm_notices when setting heartbeat to a non-default value (review
feedback from Tvrtko)
