On Broadwell GT3 we have 2 Video Command Streamers (VCS), but userspace
has no control when using VCS1 or VCS2. This patch introduces a mechanism
to avoid the default ping-pong mode and use one specific ring through
execution flag.

There is room in the ring selection flags for expansion.

This needs an open-source user and proper justification why we need this.
On bdw. Iirc the only users is content protection which isn't open-source
due to the usual concerns, so if that hasn't changed this patch is
rejected.

Also you'd need igt tests and all that too.

Hi, Daniel

    The open-source media driver also needs this feature for BDW. Now we
are planning to add the following function that depends on this flag for
BDW with two BSD rings.
    >After the GPU hang occurs on BSD ring during decoding, it needs to
specify the corresponding BSD ring to read the decoding status registers
related with the BSD ring. 
     
      Can this be regarded as one open-source usage scenario?

I agree. The igt test is needed.

Maybe one patch is missing that exposes the flag of dual BSD rings.
Only when the flag exists, we can specify which bsd ring to dispatch the
BSD video command.

Hi Chris

There is only three rooms in the I915_EXEC_RING_MASK, this feature will
occupy two rooms. If use these rooms, it will left few rooms for more
possible rings in the future and it also introduces a little bit
complexity to get the ring in the i915_do_gem_execbuffer.

Sure, but I'm not sure whether this is the correct way to do this - if
some other libva client does an execbuf in-between couldn't these
register get overwritten? It sounds like the kernel should capture
these registers for userspace in a race-free way and then provide them
with maybe an extension to the reset-stats ioctl?

I definitely want to see how this is used in libva before signing up
for a new kernel interface.
