We busywait on an inflight request (one that is currently executing on HW, and so might complete quickly) prior to setting up an interrupt and sleeping. The trade off is that we keep an expensive CPU core busy in order to avoid wake up latency: where that trade off should lie is best left to the sysadmin. The busywait mechanism can be compiled out with ./scripts/config --set-val DRM_I915_SPIN_REQUEST 0 The maximum busywait duration can be adjusted per-engine using, /sys/class/drm/card?/engine/*/ms_busywait_duration_ns Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Steve Carbonari <steven.carbonari@intel.com> Tested-by: Steve Carbonari <steven.carbonari@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200228131716.3243616-4-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
