[PATCH v4 2/2] drm/i915/gvt: Audit and shadow workload during ELSP writing

Ping Gao ping.a.gao at intel.com
Thu Jun 29 04:22:43 UTC 2017


Let the workload audit and shadow ahead of vGPU scheduling, that
will eliminate GPU idle time and improve performance for multi-VM.

The performance of Heaven running simultaneously in 3VMs has
improved 20% after this patch.

v2:Remove condition current->vgpu==vgpu when shadow during ELSP
writing.
