Performance drop using deinterlace_vaapi on 5.19-rcX
I noticed a performance drop encoding a mpeg file to a h264 video using the vaapi option deinterlace_vaapi on a Haswell i5-4570 with Linux 5.19-rc1.
A 10 minute long video takes normally 41s to convert, now with 5.19-rc1 it takes about 2m 36s.
My ffmpeg line is: ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -hwaccel_output_format vaapi -i test.vdr -vf 'deinterlace_vaapi' -c:v h264_vaapi
Removing the option deinterlace_vaapi shows no difference in performance between 5.18 and 5.19-rcX.
I bisected this down to:

dma-buf & drm/amdgpu: remove dma_resv workaround
and wasn't able to revert this one on top of 5.19-rcX.
I tried the predecessor commit:

dma-buf: specify usage while adding fences to dma_resv obj v7
which is fine.
