Matthew Brost 303b446f2e drm/xe: Do not preempt fence signaling CS instructions
[ Upstream commit cdc8a1e11f ]

If a batch buffer is complete, it makes little sense to preempt the
fence signaling instructions in the ring, as the largest portion of the
work (the batch buffer) is already done and fence signaling consists of
only a few instructions. If these instructions are preempted, the GuC
would need to perform a context switch just to signal the fence, which
is costly and delays fence signaling. Avoid this scenario by disabling
preemption immediately after the BB start instruction and re-enabling it
after executing the fence signaling instructions.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
