All recent platforms (including all the ones officially supported by the
Xe driver) do not allow concurrent execution of RCS and CCS workloads
from different address spaces, with the HW blocking the context switch
when it detects such a scenario.
The DUAL_QUEUE flag helps with this, by causing the GuC to not submit a
context it knows will not be able to execute. This, however, causes a new
problem: if RCS and CCS queues have pending workloads from different
address spaces, the GuC needs to choose from which of the 2 queues to
pick the next workload to execute. By default, the GuC prioritizes RCS
submissions over CCS ones, which can lead to CCS workloads being
significantly (or completely) starved of execution time.
The driver can tune this by setting a dedicated scheduling policy KLV;
this KLV allows the driver to specify a quantum (in ms) and a ratio
(percentage value between 0 and 100), and the GuC will prioritize the CCS
for that percentage of each quantum.
Given that we want to guarantee enough RCS throughput to avoid missing
frames, we set the yield policy to 20% of each 80ms interval.
v2: updated quantum and ratio, improved comment, use xe_guc_submit_disable
in gt_sanitize

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
