When processing G2H messages for pagefault or access counters, we queue a
work item and call queue_work(). This fails if the worker thread is already
queued to run.
The expectation is that the worker function will do more than process a
single item and return. It needs to either process all pending items or
requeue itself if items are pending. But requeuing will add latency and
potential context switch can occur.
We don't want to add unnecessary latency and so the worker should process
as many faults as it can within a reasonable duration of time.
We also do not want to hog the cpu core, so here we execute in a loop
and requeue if still running after more than 20 ms.
This seems reasonable framework and easy to tune this futher if needed.
This resolves issues seen with several igt@xe_exec_fault_mode subtests
where the GPU will hang when KMD ignores a pending pagefault.
v2: requeue the worker instead of having an internal processing loop.
v3: implement hybrid model of v1 and v2
now, run for 20 msec before we will requeue if still running
v4: only requeue in worker if queue is non-empty (Matt B)

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.
