Title:
dma-buf: performance issue when looking up the fence status
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in linux source package in Zesty:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
SRU Request:
[Impact]
When a timeout of zero is specified, the caller is only interested in
the fence status.
In the current implementation, dma_fence_default_wait will always call
schedule_timeout() at least once for an unsignaled fence. This adds a
significant overhead to a fence status query.
Avoid this overhead by returning early if a zero timeout is specified.
[Test Case]
1) Install the new kernel
2) Download amdgpu-pro-17.30-465504.tar.xz from http://support.amd.com
/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-for-Linux-Release-
Notes.aspx, and follow the install guide to install the driver on
Ubuntu 16.04.3
3) Install Unigine Heaven to get performance score
4) Rmeove DKMS, remove this patch

from DKMS source code, and install DKMS
5) re-run the benchmark, and check if there's any obvious performance
drop.
[Regression Potential]
Low, the patch is very small, and it is already available upstream.
