Re: [Intel-gfx] [PATCH v5] drm/i915: Be more gentle with exiting non-persistent context

Ping for any reviewers? This fixes a customer issue on heavily loaded transcode boxes by avoiding false GPU hang reports upon pressing Ctrl-C.

Regards,

When a non-persistent context exits we currently mark it as banned in order to trigger fast termination of any outstanding GPU jobs it may have left running.

In doing so we apply a very strict 1ms limit in which the left over job has to preempt before we issues an engine resets.

Some workloads are not able to cleanly preempt in that time window and it can be argued that it would instead be better to give them a bit more grace since avoiding engine resets is generally preferrable.

To achieve this the patch splits handling of banned contexts from simply exited non-persistent ones and then applies different timeouts for both and also extends the criteria which determines if a request should be scheduled back in after preemption or not.

15ms preempt timeout grace is given to exited non-persistent contexts which have been empirically tested to satisfy customers requirements and still provides reasonably quick cleanup post exit.

v2:

• Streamline fast path checks.

v3:

• Simplify by using only schedulable status.
• Increase timeout to 20ms.

v4:

• Fix live_execlists selftest.

v5:

• Fix logic in kill_engines.
