      drm/i915: Truly bump ready tasks ahead of busywaits · a491cc8e
      Chris Wilson authored 
      In commit b7404c7e ("drm/i915: Bump ready tasks ahead of
busywaits"), I tried cutting a corner in order to not install a signal
for each of our dependencies, and only listened to requests on which we
were intending to busywait. The compromise that was made was that
instead of then being able to promote the request with a full
NOSEMAPHORE like its non-busywaiting brethren, as we had not ensured we
had cleared the semaphore chain, we settled for only using the NEWCLIENT
boost. With an over saturated system with multiple NEWCLIENTS in flight
at any time, this was found to be an inadequate promotion and left us
with a much poorer scheduling order than prior to using semaphores.

The outcome of this patch, is that all requests have NOSEMAPHORE
priority when they have no dependencies and are ready to run and not
busywait, restoring the pre-semaphore ordering on saturated systems.

We can demonstrate the effect of poor scheduling order by oversaturating
the system using gem_wsim on a system with multiple vcs engines
(i.e running the same workloads across more clients than required for
peak throughput, e.g. media_load_balance_17i7.wsim -c4 -b context):

      drm/i915: Downgrade NEWCLIENT to non-preemptive · c80274bb
      Chris Wilson authored 
      Commit 1413b2bc ("drm/i915: Trim NEWCLIENT boosting") had the
intended consequence of not allowing a sequence of work that merely
crossed into a new engine the privilege to be promoted to NEWCLIENT
status. It also had the unintended consequence of actually making
NEWCLIENT effective on heavily oversubscribed transcode machines and
impacting upon their throughput.

If we consider a client packet composed of (rcsA, rcsB, vcs) and 30 of
those clients, using the NEWCLIENT boost that will be scheduled as

	rcsA x 30, (rcsB, vcs) x 30

where as before it would have been

	(rcsA, rcsB, vcs) x 30

That is with NEWCLIENT only boosting the first request of each client,
we would execute all rcsA requests prior to running on the vcs engines;
acruing a lot of dead time as compared to the previous case where the
vcs engine would be started in parallel to processing the second client.

The previous patch has the effect of delaying submission until it is
required by a third party (either the user with an explicit wait, or by
another client/engine). We reduce the NEWCLIENT bump to a mere WAIT,
which has the effect of removing its preemptive grant and reducing it to
the same level as any other user interaction -- that it will not be
promoted above the interengine dependencies, and so preventing NEWCLIENTS
from starving other engines. This a large nerf to the rrul properties of
the current NEWCLIENT, but it still does give prioritised submission to
new requests from light workloads.

      drm/i915: Bump signaler priority on adding a waiter · 9981927c
      Chris Wilson authored 
      

The handling of the no-preemption priority level imposes the restriction
that we need to maintain the implied ordering even though preemption is
disabled. Otherwise we may end up with an AB-BA deadlock across multiple
engine due to a real preemption event reordering the no-preemption
WAITs. To resolve this issue we currently promote all requests to WAIT
on unsubmission, however this interferes with the timeslicing
requirement that we do not apply any implicit promotion that will defeat
the round-robin timeslice list. (If we automatically promote the active
request it will go back to the head of the queue and not the tail!)

So we need implicit promotion to prevent reordering around semaphores
where we are not allowed to preempt, and we must avoid implicit
promotion on unsubmission. So instead of at unsubmit, if we apply that
implicit promotion on adding the dependency, we avoid the semaphore
deadlock and we also reduce the gains made by the promotion for user
space waiting. Furthermore, by keeping the earlier dependencies at a
higher level, we reduce the search space for timeslicing without
altering runtime scheduling too badly (no dependencies at all will be
assigned a higher priority for rrul).

v2: Limit the bump to external edges (as originally intended) i.e.
between contexts and out to the user.
