      drm/i915: Allow normal clients to always preempt idle priority clients · 3d7a64b9
      Chris Wilson authored
      When first enabling preemption, we hesitated from making it a free-for-all
      where every higher priority client would force a preempt-to-idle cycle
      and take over from all lower priority clients. We hesitated because we
      were uncertain just how well preemption would work in practice, whether
      the preemption latency itself would detract from the latency gains for
      higher priority tasks and whether it would work at all. Since
      introducing preemption, we have been enabling it for more common tasks,
      even giving normal clients a small preemptive boost when they first
      start (to aide fairness and improve interactivity). Now lets take one
      step further and give permission for all normal (priority:0) clients to
      preempt any idle (priority:<0) task so that users running long compute
      jobs do not overly impact other jobs (i.e. their desktop) and the system
      remains responsive under such idle loads.
