Linux kernel source tree
4386b8e5ad
In the next^W future patch, we remove the strict priority system and continuously re-evaluate the relative priority of tasks. As such we need to enable the timeslice whenever there is more than one context in the pipeline. This simplifies the decision and removes some of the tweaks to suppress timeslicing, allowing us to lift the timeslice enabling to a common spot at the end of running the submission tasklet. One consequence of the suppression is that it was reducing fairness between virtual engines on an over saturated system; undermining the principle for timeslicing. v2: Commentary v3: Commentary for the right cancel_timer() v4: Add tracing for why we need a timeslice Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2802 Testcase: igt/gem_exec_balancer/fairslice Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andi Shyti <andi.shyti@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210107132322.28373-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
