drm/i915/preemption: Allow preemption between submission ports

Browse source

Sometimes we need to boost the priority of an in-flight request, which
may lead to the situation where the second submission port then contains
a higher priority context than the first and so we need to inject a
preemption event. To do so we must always check inside
execlists_dequeue() whether there is a priority inversion between the
ports themselves as well as the head of the priority sorted queue, and we
cannot just skip dequeuing if the queue is empty.

As Michał noted, this doesn't simply extend to handling more than 2-port
submission, as we may need to reorder within the array of executing
requests which themselves are lower priority than the first. A task for
later!
