[PATCH 1/6] drm/i915: Mark concurrent submissions with a weak-dependency

[PATCH 1/6] drm/i915: Mark concurrent submissions with a weak-dependency

[Chris Wilson]

We recorded the dependencies for WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT in order that we could
correctly perform priority inheritance from the parallel branches to the
common trunk. However, for the purpose of timeslicing and reset
handling, the dependency is weak -- as we the pair of requests are
allowed to run in parallel and not in strict succession. So for example
we do need to suspend one if the other hangs.

The real significance though is that this allows us to rearrange
groups of WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT linked requests along the single engine, and
so can resolve user level inter-batch scheduling dependencies from user
semaphores.

Re: [PATCH 1/6] drm/i915: Mark concurrent submissions with a weak-dependency

Hi

[This is an automated email]

This commit has been processed because it contains a "Fixes:" tag
fixing commit: c81471f5e95c ("drm/i915: Copy across scheduler behaviour flags across submit fences").

The bot has tested the following trees: v5.6.10.

v5.6.10: Failed to apply! Possible dependencies:
    8e9f84cf5cac ("drm/i915/gt: Propagate change in error status to children on unhold")


NOTE: The patch will not be queued to stable trees until it is upstream.

How should we proceed with this patch?

Thanks
