Subject: [PATCH 08/11] drm/i915: use a single intel_fbc_work struct
Date: Wed,  2 Dec 2015 10:15:24 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449058527-13425-9-git-send-email-paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1449058527-13425-1-git-send-email-paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com>

This was already on my TODO list, and was requested both by Chris and
Ville, for different reasons. The advantages are avoiding a frequent
malloc/free pair, and the locality of having the work structure
embedded in dev_priv. The maximum used memory is also smaller since
previously we could have multiple allocated intel_fbc_work structs at
the same time, and now we'll always have a single one - the one
embedded on dev_priv. Of course, we're now using a little more memory
on the cases where there's nothing scheduled.

The biggest challenge here is to keep everything synchronized the way
it was before.

Currently, when we try to activate FBC, we allocate a new
intel_fbc_work structure. Then later when we conclude we must delay
the FBC activation a little more, we allocate a new intel_fbc_work
struct, and then adjust dev_priv->fbc.fbc_work to point to the new
struct. So when the old work runs - at intel_fbc_work_fn() - it will
check that dev_priv->fbc.fbc_work points to something else, so it does
nothing. Everything is also protected by fbc.lock.

Just cancelling the old delayed work doesn't work because we might
just cancel it after the work function already started to run, but
while it is still waiting to grab fbc.lock. That's why we use the
"dev_priv->fbc.fbc_work == work" check described in the paragraph
above.

So now that we have a single work struct we have to introduce a new
way to synchronize everything. So we're making the work function a
normal work instead of a delayed work, and it will be responsible for
sleeping the appropriate amount of time itself. This way, after it
wakes up it can grab the lock, ask "were we delayed or cancelled?" and
then go back to sleep, enable FBC or give up.

v2:
  - Spelling fixes.
  - Rebase after changing the patch order.
  - Fix ms/jiffies confusion.
