    drm/i915: Limit ring synchronisation (sw sempahores) RPS boosts

    Ring switches can occur many times per frame, and are often out of
    control, causing frequent RPS boosting for no practical benefit. Treat
    the sw semaphore synchronisation as a separate client and only allow it
    to boost once per busy/idle cycle.

Comment 3 Chris Wilson 2015-05-26 08:00:51 UTC
Why would you expect the GPU to run at maximum frequency? The test is completely bogus.

Hello Chris,
We expect GPU frequency can increase to the supported maximum frequency when there is heavy GPU workload, which is benefit for good performance, but it seems turbo fails now.
Pls tell us if we are wrong here.
Comment 5 Jeff Zheng 2015-06-17 02:12:44 UTC
Close it according to Daniel's suggestion.
Comment 6 Elizabeth 2017-10-06 14:29:50 UTC
Closing old verified.
