drm/i915: Only start retire worker when idle
The retire worker is a low frequency task that makes sure we retire outstanding requests if userspace is being lax. We only need to start it once as it remains active until the GPU is idle, so do a cheap test before the more expensive queue_work(). A consequence of this is that we need correct locking in the worker to make the hot path of request submission cheap. To keep the symmetry and keep hangcheck strictly bound by the GPU's wakelock, we move the cancel_sync(hangcheck) to the idle worker before dropping the wakelock. v2: Guard against RCU fouling the breadcrumbs bottom-half whilst we kick the waiter. v3: Remove the wakeref assertion squelching (now we hold a wakeref for the hangcheck, any rpm error there is genuine). v4: To prevent excess work when retiring requests, we split the busy flag into two, a boolean to denote whether we hold the wakeref and a bitmask of active engines. v5: Reorder cancelling hangcheck upon idling to avoid a race where we might cancel a hangcheck after being preempted by a new task Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> References: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88437Reviewed-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1467616119-4093-1-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
