From: Chris Wilson chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
The major drawback of commit 7e34f4e4aad3 ("drm/i915/gen8+: Add RC6 CTX corruption WA") is that it disables RC6 while Skylake (and friends) is active, and we do not consider the GPU idle until all outstanding requests have been retired and the engine switched over to the kernel context. If userspace is idle, this task falls onto our background idle worker, which only runs roughly once a second, meaning that userspace has to have been idle for a couple of seconds before we enable RC6 again. Naturally, this causes us to consume considerably more energy than before as powersaving is effectively disabled while a display server (here's looking at you Xorg) is running.
As execlists will get a completion event as each context is completed, we can use this interrupt to queue a retire worker bound to this engine to cleanup idle timelines. We will then immediately notice the idle engine (without userspace intervention or the aid of the background retire worker) and start parking the GPU. Thus during light workloads, we will do much more work to idle the GPU faster... Hopefully with commensurate power saving!
v2: Watch context completions and only look at those local to the engine when retiring to reduce the amount of excess work we perform.

For the backport to 5.4, struct_mutex needs to be held while retiring so that retirement doesn't race with vma destruction.
