From: Chris Wilson Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 15:05:55 +0000 (+0000) Subject: drm/i915: Retire before attempting to evict from the active lists X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7155b057c61e55eed27bf478ac9b8034c4c97582;p=linux-beck.git drm/i915: Retire before attempting to evict from the active lists Some object retain an extra pin whilst they are active (e.g. contexts). This excludes them from being considered for eviction unless we idle the GPU. If before we look at the active list, we retire beforehand we can hopefully remove a few excess pins and reduce the amount of searching required. v2: Similar principle applies to evict_for_vma Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20161209150555.602-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin --- diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_evict.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_evict.c index fa40100146ea..6457fd0c33a8 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_evict.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_evict.c @@ -129,7 +129,14 @@ i915_gem_evict_something(struct i915_address_space *vm, } else drm_mm_init_scan(&vm->mm, min_size, alignment, cache_level); - if (flags & PIN_NONBLOCK) + /* Retire before we search the active list.
