Since removing the module parameter to force selection of ringbuffer emission for gen8, the code is defunct. Remove it. To put the difference into perspective, a couple of microbenchmarks (bdw i7-5557u, 20170324): ring execlists exec continuous nops on all rings: 1.491us 2.223us exec sequential nops on each ring: 12.508us 53.682us single nop + sync: 9.272us 30.291us vblank_mode=0 glxgears: ~11000fps ~9000fps Since the earlier submission, gen8 ringbuffer submission has fallen further and further behind in features. So while ringbuffer may hold the throughput crown, in terms of interactive latency, execlists is much better. Alas, we have no convenient metrics for such, other than demonstrating things we can do with execlists but can not using legacy ringbuffer submission. We have made a few improvements to lowlevel execlists throughput, and ringbuffer currently panics on boot! (bdw i7-5557u, 20171026): ring execlists exec continuous nops on all rings: n/a 1.921us exec sequential nops on each ring: n/a 44.621us single nop + sync: n/a 21.953us vblank_mode=0 glxgears: n/a ~18500fps References: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87725Signed-off-by: NChris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Once-upon-a-time-Reviewed-by: NJoonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: NMika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20171120205504.21892-2-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
