[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1777786] [NEW] virtio-gpu-3d.c: change virtio_gpu_fence_poll timer scale

[Qiang Wang]

Public bug reported:

We use virtio-gpu to accelerate Unigine Heaven Benchmark in VM. But we get only 
5 FPS when we use AMD RX460 in our host.
We found that guest os spent a lot of time in waiting for the return of 
glMapBufferRange/glUnmapBuffer commad. We suspected the host GPU was waiting 
for fence. So we finally change the timer of fence_poll. Afer change timer from
 ms to us， Benchmark result raise up to 22 FPS.

Subject: [PATCH] virtio-gpu:improve 3d performance greatly

  opengl function need fence support.when CPU execute opengl function, it need 
wait fence for synchronize GPU.
so qemu must deal with fence timely as possible. but now the expire time of the 
timer to deal with fence is 10 ms.
I think it is too long for opengl. So i will change it to 20 ns.
  Before change, when i play Unigine_Heaven 3d game with virglrenderer, the fps 
is 3.  atfer change the fps up to 23.
