Subject: [PATCH v5 05/12] drm/xe: Add num_pf_work modparam
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:47:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723214743.1498125-6-matthew.brost@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723214743.1498125-1-matthew.brost@intel.com>

Add a module parameter to control the number of page-fault work threads,
making it easy to experiment with how different numbers of work threads
impact performance.
