mainlining shenanigans
74c7b0782b
The intent here was that we would be listening to i915_gem_request_unsubmit in order to cancel the signaler quickly and release the reference on the request. Cancelling the signaler is done directly via intel_engine_cancel_signaling (called from unsubmit), but that does not directly wake up the signaling thread, and neither does setting the request->global_seqno back to zero wake up listeners to the request->execute waitqueue. So the only time that listening to the request->execute waitqueue would wake up the signaling kthread would be on the request resubmission, during which time we would already receive wake ups from rejoining the global breadcrumbs wait rbtree. Trying to wake up to release the request remains an issue. If the signaling was cancelled and no other request required signaling, then it is possible for us to shutdown with the reference on the request still held. To ensure that we do not try to shutdown, leaking that request, we kick the signaling threads whenever we disarm the breadcrumbs, i.e. on parking the engine when idle. v2: We do need to be sure to release the last reference on stopping the kthread; asserting that it has been dropped already is insufficient.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
