    drm/i915: Rename execlists->queue_priority to queue_priority_hint · 4d97cbe0
    Chris Wilson authored
    After noticing that we trigger preemption events for currently executing
    requests, as well as requests that complete before the preemption and
    attempting to suppress those preemption events, it is wise to not
    consider the queue_priority to be authoritative. As we only track the
    maximum priority seen between dequeue passes, if the maximum priority
    request is no longer available for dequeuing (it completed or is even
    executing on another engine), we have no knowledge of the previous
    queue_priority as it would require us to keep a full history of enqueued
    requests -- but we already have that history in the priolists!
    
    Rename the queue_priority to queue_priority_hint so that we do not
    confuse it as being exactly the maximum priority in the queue, but merely
    an indication that we have seen a new maximum priority value and as such
    we should check whether it should preempt the currently running request.
    
    v2: s/preempt_priority_hint/queue_priority_hint/ as preempt implies it
    being only used for the singular task of preemption and not the wider
    question of waking up due to a change in the queue.
