Subject: [Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/selftests: Rearrange ktime_get to reduce latency against CS
Date: Fri,  8 Jan 2021 10:56:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210108105608.18424-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> (raw)

In our tests where we measure the elapsed time on both the CPU and CS
using a udelay, our CS results match the udelay much more accurately
than the ktime (even when using ktime_get_fast_ns). With preemption
disabled, we can go one step lower than ktime and use local_clock.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2919
