<span class="quote">&gt; Haihao,
&gt; 
&gt; The 2nd VDBOX on SKL is not a complete VDBOX, it only contains MFX. I would
&gt; recommend shunting all MFX workloads to the 2nd VDBOX and using the 1st
&gt; VDBOX for HCP, VDENC, HuC.</span>

Usually user doesn't use different codecs at the same time. I don't think using
BSD1 only for MFX is better choice for VP8/H264/MPEG2 etc.
</pre></div></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div>You canât assume that. &nbsp;In fact, VDENC will likely dominate.&nbsp;<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><pre class=""><span class="quote">&gt; What we need for a permanent fix is an i915
&gt; kernel patch that manages the loads between the engines based on input from
&gt; UMD.</span>

Currently i915 kernel can manage the loads between the engines.  But i915
kernel doesn't know HCP/HuC commands must be ran from the 2nd ring unless UMD
driver can tell the kernel. which is why I915_EXEC_BSD_RING1 and
I915_EXEC_BSD_RING2 are added to the execution ioctl.
</pre></div></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div>Yes, that is the whole point of the patch submitted to the i915, but it is still a hack. &nbsp;Iâm well aware of how this works. &nbsp;And that means every time we use a new codec that is not balanced between the VDBoxen we add the hack flag. &nbsp;Again, we need to do better.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Sean<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><pre class=""><span class="quote">&gt; 
&gt; So, while I find you patch servicable for the immediate need, I want to see
&gt; a long term fix along the lines above that I suggest.  I will look into the
&gt; kernel patch.
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks,
&gt;
