Subject: [RFC v2 2/2] drm/panthor: Create per queue priority workqueues
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 08:28:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717072846.19954-3-tvrtko.ursulin@igalia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717072846.19954-1-tvrtko.ursulin@igalia.com>
Split the single workqueue shared between the driver internal logic and
DRM scheduler use into separate ones, where the DRM scheduler one is
created per GPU priority level using the appropriate mapping to
workqueue priorities.
Low and medium GPU priority are served by a normal workqueue,
high is server by a WQ_HIGHPRI instance, while realtime GPU priority is
using the newly added WQ_RTPRI flag for lowest possible latency.
These workqueues are device global and for all three we set the maximum
concurrency to two in order to keep the GPU optimally fed with work.
