From 9b5f4e5ed6fd58390ecad3772b80936357f1aba6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2016 09:21:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Retire oldest completed request before allocating next In order to keep the memory allocated for requests reasonably tight, try to reuse the oldest request (so long as it is completed and has no external references) for the next allocation. v2: Throw in a comment to hopefully make sure no one mistakes the optimistic retirement of the oldest request for simply stealing it.
