Subject: [PATCH 03/10] drm/i915: Use preempt_disable/enable_rt() where
recommended
Mario Kleiner suggest in commit
ad3543ede630f ("drm/intel: Push get_scanout_position() timestamping into kms driver.")
a spots where preemption should be disabled on PREEMPT_RT. The
difference is that on PREEMPT_RT the intel_uncore::lock disables neither
preemption nor interrupts and so region remains preemptible.
The area covers only register reads and writes. The part that worries me
is:
- __intel_get_crtc_scanline() the worst case is 100us if no match is
found.
- intel_crtc_scanlines_since_frame_timestamp() not sure how long this
may take in the worst case.
It was in the RT queue for a while and nobody complained.
Disable preemption on PREEPMPT_RT during timestamping.
