[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/3] radeonsi: implement mechanism for IBs without partial flushes at the end (v6)

From: Marek Olšák <marek.olsak at amd.com>

(This patch doesn't enable the behavior. It will be enabled in a later
commit.)

Draw calls from multiple IBs can be executed in parallel.

v2: do emit partial flushes on SI
v3: invalidate all shader caches at the beginning of IBs
v4: don't call si_emit_cache_flush in si_flush_gfx_cs if not needed,
    only do this for flushes invoked internally
v5: empty IBs should wait for idle if the flush requires it
v6: split the commit

If we artificially limit the number of draw calls per IB to 5, we'll get
a lot more IBs, leading to a lot more partial flushes. Let's see how
the removal of partial flushes changes GPU utilization in that scenario:

With partial flushes (time busy):
    CP: 99%
    SPI: 86%
    CB: 73:

Without partial flushes (time busy):
    CP: 99%
    SPI: 93%
    CB: 81%
