perf_parallel_engines is micro benchmark to test i915 request scheduling. The test creates a thread per physical engine and submits NOP requests and waits the requests to complete in a loop. In execlists mode this works perfectly fine as powerful CPU has enough cores to feed each engine and process the CSBs. With GuC submission the uC gets overwhelmed as all threads feed into a single CTB channel and the GuC gets bombarded with CSBs as contexts are immediately switched in and out on the engines due to the zero runtime of the requests. When the GuC is overwhelmed scheduling of contexts is unfair due to the nature of the GuC scheduling algorithm. This behavior is understood and deemed acceptable as this micro benchmark isn't close to real world use case. Increasing the timeout of wait period for requests to complete. This makes the test understand that is ok for contexts to get starved in this scenario. A future patch / cleanup may just delete these micro benchmark tests as they basically mean nothing. We care about real workloads not made up ones.

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 Restructured Text 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.
