[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 255/305] drm/i915: Only spin whilst waiting on the current request

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Fri Jan 15 2016 - 19:22:39 EST


4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0f0cd472062eca6f9fac8be0cd5585f9a2df1ab2 upstream.

Limit busywaiting only to the request currently being processed by the
GPU. If the request is not currently being processed by the GPU, there
is a very low likelihood of it being completed within the 2 microsecond
spin timeout and so we will just be wasting CPU cycles.

v2: Check for logical inversion when rebasing - we were incorrectly
checking for this request being active, and instead busywaiting for
when the GPU was not yet processing the request of interest.

v3: Try another colour for the seqno names.
v4: Another colour for the function names.

v5: Remove the forced coherency when checking for the active request. On
reflection and plenty of recent experimentation, the issue is not a
cache coherency problem - but an irq/seqno ordering problem (timing issue).
Here, we do not need the w/a to force ordering of the read with an
interrupt.
