Chris Wilson c216e90686 drm/i915/execlists: Reset ring registers on rebinding contexts
Tvrtko uncovered a fun issue with recovering from a wedge device. In his
tests, he wedged the driver by injecting an unrecoverable hang whilst a
batch was spinning. As we reset the gpu in the middle of the spinner,
when resumed it would continue on from the next instruction in the ring
and write it's breadcrumb. However, on wedging we updated our
bookkeeping to indicate that the GPU had completed executing and would
restart from after the breadcrumb; so the emission of the stale
breadcrumb from before the reset came as a bit of a surprise.

A simple fix is to when rebinding the context into the GPU, we update
the ring register state in the context image to match our bookkeeping.
We already have to update the RING_START and RING_TAIL, so updating
RING_HEAD as well is trivial. This works because whenever we unbind the
context, we keep the bookkeeping in check; and on wedging we unbind all
contexts.

README

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.
