xbzk c0a85d0e53 [service, nvhost] added machinery to allow microsleep between nvdec read requests to avoid guest panic in some games (#4316 ) - [x] I have read and followed the [Contribution Guidelines](https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/src/branch/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#code-contributions). - [x] I have read and followed the [AI Policy](https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/src/branch/master/docs/policies/AI.md) - [x] I have read and followed the [Coding Guidelines](https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/src/branch/master/docs/policies/Coding.md) to the best of my ability. ------------------- This one deserves a long story, but imma try to resume: During investigating Absolum 1.2 black screen of death upon loading intro video, i've discovered guest was aborting for failing to allocate room for the video. By logging everything prior to crash and decoding guest side instructions managed to confirm its media allocator was reading data faster than it was updating free available bucket list. Since the IStorage::Read was happening 247 times before the crash, i've decided to add a very small sleep there, and boom, not only Absolum but some other titles got the same issue fixed. But i was unsatisfied with the sleep and kept tracking guest instructions upstream in order to find a sync point for the read worker and the memory allocation update. But unfortunately the media allocator helpers live in guest, accessing memory directly via MMU, so any sync signaling would need to come from some dynarmic hack. It's been 6 days now, so i've decided to polish the sleep: Moved it upstream to where i could have access for proper predicate, and added machinery to service and nvhost to support that. Now the sleep is restricted only for nvdec istorage reads. Any other reads will flow normally. TL;DR: currently our code is so blazing async that guest is capable to request reads before its very self refresh it have freed room to do so. The sleep accepted as broadly stable was 600 us (MICROseconds), and it affects ONLY nvdec chunk reading. Reports confirm that now videos are smoother now. Code was polished at my knowledge limits. Mostly machinery to track when a request comes from a process with nvdec active, and is istorage read. I can provide more details if it comes to be needed.
