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
