From: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com>

Add a delay, configurable via debugfs (default 34ms), to disable
scheduling of a context after the pin count goes to zero. Disable
scheduling is a costly operation as it requires synchronizing with
the GuC. So the idea is that a delay allows the user to resubmit
something before doing this operation. This delay is only done if
the context isn't closed and less than a given threshold
(default is 3/4) of the guc_ids.

As temporary WA disable this feature for the selftests. Selftests are
very timing sensitive and any change in timing can cause failure. A
follow up patch will fixup the selftests to understand this delay.

Alan Previn: Matt Brost first introduced this series back in Oct 2021.
However no real world workload with measured performance impact was
available to prove the intended results. Today, this series is being
republished in response to a real world workload that benefited greatly
from it along with measured performance improvement.

Workload description: 36 containers were created on a DG2 device where
each container was performing a combination of 720p 3d game rendering
and 30fps video encoding. The workload density was configured in a way
that guaranteed each container to ALWAYS be able to render and
encode no less than 30fps with a predefined maximum render + encode
latency time. That means the totality of all 36 containers and their
workloads were not saturating the engines to their max (in order to
maintain just enough headrooom to meet the min fps and max latencies
of incoming container submissions).

Problem statement: It was observed that the CPU core processing the i915
soft IRQ work was experiencing severe load. Using tracelogs and an
instrumentation patch to count specific i915 IRQ events, it was confirmed
that the majority of the CPU cycles were caused by the
gen11_other_irq_handler() -> guc_irq_handler() code path. The vast
majority of the cycles was determined to be processing a specific G2H
IRQ: i.e. INTEL_GUC_ACTION_SCHED_CONTEXT_MODE_DONE. These IRQs are sent
by GuC in response to i915 KMD sending H2G requests:
INTEL_GUC_ACTION_SCHED_CONTEXT_MODE_SET. Those H2G requests are sent
whenever a context goes idle so that we can unpin the context from GuC.
The high CPU utilization % symptom was limiting density scaling.

Root Cause Analysis: Because the incoming execution buffers were spread
across 36 different containers (each with multiple contexts) but the
system in totality was NOT saturated to the max, it was assumed that each
context was constantly idling between submissions. This was causing
a thrashing of unpinning contexts from GuC at one moment, followed quickly
by repinning them due to incoming workload the very next moment. These
event-pairs were being triggered across multiple contexts per container,
across all containers at the rate of > 30 times per sec per context.

Metrics: When running this workload without this patch, we measured an
average of ~69K INTEL_GUC_ACTION_SCHED_CONTEXT_MODE_DONE events every 10
seconds or ~10 million times over ~25+ mins. With this patch, the count
reduced to ~480 every 10 seconds or about ~28K over ~10 mins. The
improvement observed is ~99% for the average counts per 10 seconds.

The delay text has dropped the 'default 34ms' in preference for just 
referencing the define but the threshold still mentions both. Is that 
intentional? Dropping the values seems sensible - no need to update the 
comment if the numeric value is changed at some later point.

Comments always go in front of the thing they are describing, not after.

Also, the description reads as just a more verbose version of the 
#define. As in, more words but no extra information. Not sure what more 
can be said about the threshold. I'm not aware of any empirical or 
theoretical evidence as to why 75% is a good number beyond 'it just 
seems sensible'. The 'make it work for 33fps' seems quite arbitrary and 
magical, though. What is so special about 33fps? I feel like it should 
at least mention that an real-world use case requires 33fps (was it 
really 33 not 30?) and that anything faster (e.g. 60fps) will 
automatically be covered. And that in the other direction, ~30ms is not 
so slow that it leads to large numbers of idle contexts floating around. 
Did we have any specific reasons against going larger? I recall the 
original experiments were with 100ms. Was there a specific reason for 
rejection that value?

Yes - this was merely a sensible choice that wasnt part of a known performance issue with real world workloads
(considering we have thousands of guc-ids at our disposal). Will fix (remove the comment since its self-descriptive
anyways).

The patch comment already includes the workload description: game-rendering + encoding at 30 fps (not as fast as
possible but with latency deadlines at that fps). But i can include it again in this #define if you prefer:
(would this work?)
     /*
      * This default value of 33 milisecs (+1 milisec buffer) ensures 33fps or higher fps
      * workloads are able to enjoy the latency reduction when delaying the schedule-disable

      * knob was tested against.

     #define SCHED_DISABLE_DELAY_MS	34

Is this really necessary to state? I think that is an obvious inference if we know anything about fps and periods.

In some initial internal conversations, there was some concern about keeping contexts pinned and possible impact the GuC
subsystem power residency usage - but that was later discounted. So at this point, we really can keep any number we want
but since we already did the work testing for both 100ms and 34 ms, I thought it would be better to stick with 34 ms
simply because of its clear relationship to the rate of context submission for the actual workload that was tested (i.e.
30 fps workloads that were getting submitted at 33.333 milisecs apart). That said, would above comment mod work?

It should have some comment. Even if it is just "75% seems like a 
reasonable starting point, real world apps generally don't get anywhere 
near this".

Sounds plausible. Although technically, 34 is not a +1 buffer it is 
rounding up the 1/3ms that we can't fit in an integer variable. And it 
should be "30fps or higher" given that the actual workload is 30fps. 
Supporting only >= 33fps would be insufficient.
