why do we skip the boost if already started? don't we want to boost the freq anyway?

I'm afraid it will be very hard to find some heuristics of what's late enough for the boost no? I mean, how early to boost the freq on an upcoming deadline for the timer?
So, from my understanding of i915 boosting, it applies more specifically to a given request (vs msm which just bumps up the freq until the next devfreq sampling period which then recalculates target freq based on busy cycles and avg freq over the last sampling period). For msm I just set a timer for 3ms before the deadline and boost if the fence isn't signaled when the timer fires. It is kinda impossible to predict, even for userspace, how long a job will take to complete, so the goal isn't really to finish the specified job by the deadline, but instead to avoid devfreq landing at a local minimum (maximum?)
AFAIU what I _think_ would make sense for i915 is to do the same thing you do if you miss a vblank pageflip deadline if the deadline passes without the fence signaling.
