With preemption, we will want to "unsubmit" a request, taking it back from the hw and returning it to the priority sorted execution list. In order to know where to insert it into that list, we need to remember its adjust priority (which may change even as it was being executed). This also affects reset for execlists as we are now unsubmitting the requests following the reset (rather than directly writing the ELSP for the inflight contexts). This turns reset into an accidental preemption point, as after the reset we may choose a different pair of contexts to submit to hw. GuC is not updated as this series doesn't add preemption to the GuC submission, and so it can keep benefiting from the early pruning of the DFS inside execlists_schedule() for a little longer. We also need to find a way of reducing the cost of that DFS... v2: Include priority in error-state Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Michał Winiarski <michal.winiarski@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Michał Winiarski <michal.winiarski@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20171003203453.15692-6-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
