Yep, that would be great. We're interested in it for ChromeOS. Please

Right, I didn't try to replace the current thing.. but hopefully at
least make it possible for i915 to use more of the atomic helpers in
the future

Yeah, fewer boosts, lower freq/perf.. I cobbled together a quick mesa
hack to set the DEADLINE flag on syncobj waits, but it seems likely
that I missed something somewhere

Oh, I guess this wasn't even supposed to take over the current 
display boost stuff since you didn't remove the old one.

The current one just boosts after a missed vblank. The deadline
could use your timer approach I suppose and boost already a bit
earlier in the hopes of not missing the vblank.

why do we skip the boost if already started?
don't we want to boost the freq anyway?


I'd wager Rob is just copying the current i915 wait boost logic.


Yup, and probably incorrectly.. Matt reported fewer boosts/sec

Hm, there I have preserved this same !i915_request_started logic.

Presumably it's not just fewer boosts but lower performance. How is he

I'm afraid it will be very hard to find some heuristics of what's
late enough for the boost no?
I mean, how early to boost the freq on an upcoming deadline for the
timer?


We can off load this patch from Rob and deal with it separately, or
after the fact?


That is completely my intention, I expect you to replace my i915 patch ;-)

Rough idea when everyone is happy with the core bits is to setup an
immutable branch without the driver specific patches, which could be
merged into drm-next and $driver-next and then each driver team can
add there own driver patches on top

BR,
-R


It's a half solution without a smarter scheduler too. Like
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210208105236.28498-10-ch...@chris-wilson.co.uk/,
or if GuC plans to do something like that at any point.

Or bump the priority too if deadline is looming?

IMO it is not very effective to fiddle with the heuristic on an ad-hoc
basis. For instance I have a new heuristics which improves the
problematic OpenCL cases for further 5% (relative to the current
waitboost improvement from adding missing syncobj waitboost). But I
can't really test properly for regressions over platforms, stacks,
workloads.. :(

I don't think i915 calls drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_fences()
so that could explain something.

So, from my understanding of i915 boosting, it applies more
specifically to a given request (vs msm which just bumps up the freq
until the next devfreq sampling period which then recalculates target
freq based on busy cycles and avg freq over the last sampling period).
For msm I just set a timer for 3ms before the deadline and boost if
the fence isn't signaled when the timer fires.  It is kinda impossible
to predict, even for userspace, how long a job will take to complete,
so the goal isn't really to finish the specified job by the deadline,
but instead to avoid devfreq landing at a local minimum (maximum?)

AFAIU what I _think_ would make sense for i915 is to do the same thing
you do if you miss a vblank pageflip deadline if the deadline passes
without the fence signaling.

Yup, and probably incorrectly.. Matt reported fewer boosts/sec
compared to your RFC, this could be the bug

That is completely my intention, I expect you to replace my i915 patch ;-)

Rough idea when everyone is happy with the core bits is to setup an
immutable branch without the driver specific patches, which could be
merged into drm-next and $driver-next and then each driver team can
add there own driver patches on top

why do we skip the boost if already started?
don't we want to boost the freq anyway?


I'd wager Rob is just copying the current i915 wait boost logic.

I'm afraid it will be very hard to find some heuristics of what's
late enough for the boost no?
I mean, how early to boost the freq on an upcoming deadline for the
timer?


We can off load this patch from Rob and deal with it separately, or 
after the fact?


It's a half solution without a smarter scheduler too. Like 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210208105236.28498-10-ch...@chris-wilson.co.uk/, 
or if GuC plans to do something like that at any point.


Or bump the priority too if deadline is looming?

IMO it is not very effective to fiddle with the heuristic on an ad-hoc 
basis. For instance I have a new heuristics which improves the 
problematic OpenCL cases for further 5% (relative to the current 
waitboost improvement from adding missing syncobj waitboost). But I 
can't really test properly for regressions over platforms, stacks, 
workloads.. :(

why do we skip the boost if already started?
don't we want to boost the freq anyway?

I'm afraid it will be very hard to find some heuristics of what's
late enough for the boost no?
I mean, how early to boost the freq on an upcoming deadline for the
timer?
