After initialising a preemption request, we give the current resident a small amount of time to vacate the GPU. The preemption request is for a higher priority context and should be immediate to maintain high quality of service (and avoid priority inversion). However, the preemption granularity of the GPU can be quite coarse and so we need a compromise. The preempt timeout can be adjusted per-engine using, /sys/class/drm/card?/engine/*/preempt_timeout_ms and can be disabled by setting it to 0.
