Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] drm/i915: reduce TLB performance regressions
Doing TLB invalidation cause performance regressions, like:
[424.370996] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* rcs0 TLB invalidation did not complete in 4ms!
As reported at:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/6424
as this is an expensive operation. So, reduce the need of it by:
- checking if the engine is awake;
- checking if the engine is not wedged;
- batching operations.
Additionally, add a workaround for a known hardware issue on some GPUs.
In order to double-check that this series won't be introducing any regressions,
I used this new IGT test:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/495684/?series=106757&rev=1
Checking the results for 3 different patchsets, on Broadwell:
1) On the top of drm-tip (2022y-07m-14d-08h-35m-36) - e. g. with TLB
invalidation and serialization patches:
$ sudo build/tests/gem_exec_tlb|grep Subtest
Subtest close-clear: SUCCESS (10.490s)
Subtest madv-clear: SUCCESS (10.484s)
Subtest u-unmap-clear: SUCCESS (10.527s)
Subtest u-shrink-clear: SUCCESS (10.506s)
Subtest close-dumb: SUCCESS (10.165s)
Subtest madv-dumb: SUCCESS (10.177s)
Subtest u-unmap-dumb: SUCCESS (10.172s)
Subtest u-shrink-dumb: SUCCESS (10.172s)
2) With the new version of the batch TLB invalidation patches from this series:
$ sudo build/tests/gem_exec_tlb|grep Subtest
Subtest close-clear: SUCCESS (10.483s)
Subtest madv-clear: SUCCESS (10.495s)
Subtest u-unmap-clear: SUCCESS (10.545s)
Subtest u-shrink-clear: SUCCESS (10.508s)
Subtest close-dumb: SUCCESS (10.172s)
Subtest madv-dumb: SUCCESS (10.169s)
Subtest u-unmap-dumb: SUCCESS (10.174s)
Subtest u-shrink-dumb: SUCCESS (10.176s)
3) Changing the TLB invalidation routine to do nothing[1]:

Subtest close-clear: FAIL (10.434s)
Subtest madv-clear: SUCCESS (10.479s)
Subtest u-unmap-clear: SUCCESS (10.512s)
In summary, the test does properly detect fail when TLB cache invalidation doesn't happen,
as shown at result (3). It also shows that both current drm-tip and drm-tip with this series
applied don't have TLB invalidation cache issues.
[1] I applied this patch on the top of drm-tip:
diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/intel_gt.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/intel_gt.c
