drm/i915: Emit dma-fence (and execlists submit) first from signaler
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When introduced, I thought that reducing client latency from the
signaler was the priority. Since its inception the signaler has become
responsible for keeping the execlists full, via the dma-fence. As this
is very important to minimise overall execution time, signal the
dma-fence first and then signal any waiting clients.
