mainlining shenanigans
18d0952a83
The issue we have is that the crc worker might fall behind. We've tried to handle this by tracking both the earliest frame for which it still needs to compute a crc, and the last one. Plus when the crtc_state changes, we have a new work item, which are all run in order due to the ordered workqueue we allocate for each vkms crtc. Trouble is there's been a few small issues in the current code: - we need to capture frame_end in the vblank hrtimer, not in the worker. The worker might run much later, and then we generate a lot of crc for which there's already a different worker queued up. - frame number might be 0, so create a new crc_pending boolean to track this without confusion. - we need to atomically grab frame_start/end and clear it, so do that all in one go. This is not going to create a new race, because if we race with the hrtimer then our work will be re-run. - only race that can happen is the following: 1. worker starts 2. hrtimer runs and updates frame_end 3. worker grabs frame_start/end, already reading the new frame_end, and clears crc_pending 4. hrtimer calls queue_work() 5. worker completes 6. worker gets re-run, crc_pending is false Explain this case a bit better by rewording the comment. v2: Demote warning level output to debug when we fail to requeue, this is expected under high load when the crc worker can't quite keep up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
