drm/i915: Ratelimit i915_globals_park

Browse source

When doing our global park, we like to be a good citizen and shrink our
slab caches (of which we have quite a few now), but each
kmem_cache_shrink() incurs a stop_machine() and so ends up being quite
expensive, causing machine-wide stalls. While ideally we would like to
throw away unused pages in our slab caches whenever it appears that we
are idling, doing so will require a much cheaper mechanism. In the
meantime use a delayed worked to impose a rate-limit that means we have
to have been idle for more than 2 seconds before we start shrinking.
