Combination of locking and interchannel synchronization changes
uncovered poor behaviour of nouveau_fence_wait, which on HZ=100
configuration could waste up to 10 ms per call.
Depending on application, it lead to 10-30% FPS regression.
To fix it, shorten thread sleep time to 0.1 ms and ensure
spinning happens for at least one *full* tick.

It's not "minor" performance improvement: without this patch (FPS): nexuiz: 53 wop: 181 tremulous: 157 wsw0.5: 89 glxgears: 730 with: nexuiz: 63 (+18%) wop: 248 (+37%) tremulous: 156 (-0.6%) wsw0.5: 91 (+2%) glxgears: 1054 (+44%) Ok, so you are worried about CPU usage...

Remember to exercise some software fallbacks as well (e.g. something using core fonts), software fallbacks were the main users of the spinning you've removed. Anyway, software fallbacks and occlusion queries are the only two places (that I can think of now) where we need the low latency your patch gives, and, as Ben already pointed out, we probably want to keep CPU usage at minimum in every other case. As a middle ground, the "lazy" flag (or rather, a "hog" flag?) could be exposed all the way up to userspace, and those two cases fixed to set the flag differently.

It's likely to be negligible for most applications aside from the ones using queries and fallbacks intensively, and in those two cases I agree with you that optimizing for low CPU usage doesn't make a huge lot of sense, getting low latency is already hard enough. If I'm wrong and the initial spinning affects the overall CPU usage negatively, then we have two different use cases with different latency requirements and the DRM API needs to be fixed (though, there're maybe other solutions to explore first, like, start with a really small hrtimeout and increase it exponentially up to some cut-off value). > BTW, old behaviour (no spinning + timeout 10ms) affects other workloads too > nexuiz: 50 > wop: 153 > tremulous: 155 > wsw0.5: 89 > glxgears: 100 (!) > >> Anyway, software fallbacks and occlusion queries are the only two places >> (that I can think of now) where we need the low latency your patch >> gives, and, as Ben already pointed out, we probably want to keep CPU >> usage at minimum in every other case.
