Re: [Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Use trylock instead of blocking lock for __i915_gem_free_objects.

On 12/22/21 16:56, Maarten Lankhorst wrote:

Convert free_work into delayed_work, similar to ttm to allow converting the blocking lock in __i915_gem_free_objects to a trylock.

Unlike ttm, the object should already be idle, as it's kept alive by a reference through struct i915_vma->active, which is dropped after all vma's are idle.

Because of this, we can use a no wait by default, or when the lock is contested, we use ttm's 10 ms.

The trylock should only fail when the object is sharing it's resv with other objects, and typically objects are not kept locked for a long time, so we can safely retry on failure.

i915->wq is ordered. From what I can tell, with queue_delayed_work(), the work doesn't get inserted into the queue order until the delay expires, right? So we don't unnecessarily hold up other objects getting freed?
