Since writing the comment that the scheduler is entirely passive, we've added minimal timeslicing which adds the most primitive of active elements (a timeout and reschedule).

* "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but

|
|
* ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey ... stuff." -The Doctor, 2015
|
|
*
|
|
* Requests exist in a complex web of interdependencies. Each request
|
|
* has to wait for some other request to complete before it is ready to be run
|
|
* (e.g. we have to wait until the pixels have been rendering into a texture
|
|
* before we can copy from it). We track the readiness of a request in terms
|
|
* of fences, but we also need to keep the dependency tree for the lifetime
|
|
* of the request (beyond the life of an individual fence). We use the tree
|
|
* at various points to reorder the requests whilst keeping the requests
|
|
* in order with respect to their various dependencies.
|
|
*
|
|
* There is no active component to the "scheduler". As we know the dependency
|
|
* DAG of each request, we are able to insert it into a sorted queue when it
|
|
* is ready, and are able to reorder its portion of the graph to accommodate
|
|
* dynamic priority changes.
|
|
*
|
|
* Ok, there is now one active element to the "scheduler" in the backends.
|
|
* We let a new context run for a small amount of time before re-evaluating
|
|
* the run order. As we re-evaluate, we maintain the strict ordering of
|
|
* dependencies, but attempt to rotate the active contexts (the current context
|
|
* is put to the back of its priority queue, then reshuffling its dependents).
|
|
* This provides minimal timeslicing and prevents a userspace hog (e.g.
|
|
* something waiting on a user semaphore [VkEvent]) from denying service to
|
|
* others.
