On unwinding the active request we give it a small (limited to internal
priority levels) boost to prevent it from being gazumped a second time.
However, this means that it can be promoted to above the request that
triggered the preemption request, causing a preempt-to-idle cycle for no
change. We can avoid this if we take the boost into account when
checking if the preemption request is valid.

v2: After preemption the active request will be after the preemptee if
they end up with equal priority.

v3: Tvrtko pointed out that this, the existing logic, makes
I915_PRIORITY_WAIT non-preemptible. Document this interesting quirk!

v4: Prove Tvrtko was right about WAIT being non-preemptible and test it.

I thought there would be a simpler solution coming for now. :)

In this version WAIT only doesn't preempt if the last rq from a ctx in port0 is already active, otherwise it still preempts.

Also, by making WAIT not-preempt in this way, we kick the tasklet, right? Only to decide we won't preempt. Or might not, depending on i915_request_started.

I thought for now we would do something like:

static inline bool __execlists_need_preempt(int prio, int last)
{
        return prio > max(I915_MIN_PREEMPT_PRIORITY, last);
}

With some consideration about what to do about needless tasklet kicking as well..

Regards,

Tvrtko
