![]() Add a way to hint to the fence signaler of an upcoming deadline, such as vblank, which the fence waiter would prefer not to miss. This is to aid the fence signaler in making power management decisions, like boosting frequency as the deadline approaches and awareness of missing deadlines so that can be factored in to the frequency scaling. v2: Drop dma_fence::deadline and related logic to filter duplicate deadlines, to avoid increasing dma_fence size. The fence-context implementation will need similar logic to track deadlines of all the fences on the same timeline. [ckoenig] v3: Clarify locking wrt. set_deadline callback v4: Clarify in docs comment that this is a hint v5: Drop DMA_FENCE_FLAG_HAS_DEADLINE_BIT. v6: More docs v7: Fix typo, clarify past deadlines Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Acked-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Bagas Sanjaya <bagasdotme@gmail.com> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
