    drm/i915: Use the global runtime-pm wakelock for a busy GPU for execlists · 4bb1bedb
    Chris Wilson 提交于
    When we submit a request to the GPU, we first take the rpm wakelock, and
    only release it once the GPU has been idle for a small period of time
    after all requests have been complete. This means that we are sure no
    new interrupt can arrive whilst we do not hold the rpm wakelock and so
    can drop the individual get/put around every single request inside
    execlists.
    
    Note: to close one potential issue we should mark the GPU as busy
    earlier in __i915_add_request.
    
    To elaborate: The issue is that we emit the irq signalling sequence
    before we grab the rpm reference, which means we could miss the
    resulting interrupt (since that's not set up when suspended). The only
    bad side effect is a missed interrupt, gt mmio writes automatically
    wake up the hw itself. But otoh we have an umbrella rpm reference for
    the entirety of execbuf, as long as that's there we're covered.

    some irc chatting with Chris turns out to not be an issue really.]
