Introduce a mutex to start locking the HW contexts independently of struct_mutex, with a view to reducing the coarse struct_mutex. The intel_context.pin_mutex is used to guard the transition to and from being pinned on the gpu, and so is required before starting to build any request. The intel_context will then remain pinned until the request completes, but the mutex can be released immediately unpin completion of pinning the context. A slight variant of the above is used by per-context sseu that wants to inspect the pinned status of the context, and requires that it remains stable (either !pinned or pinned) across its operation. By using the pin_mutex to serialise operations while pin_count==0, we can take that pin_mutex for stabilise the boolean pin status. v2: for Tvrtko! * Improved commit message. * Dropped _gpu suffix from gen8_modify_rpcs_gpu. v3: Repair the locking for sseu selftests Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190308132522.21573-7-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk |

README
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.
