Currently there is an underlying assumption that i915_request_unsubmit()
is synchronous wrt the GPU -- that is the request is no longer in flight
as we remove it. In the near future that may change, and this may upset
our signaling as we can process an interrupt for that request while it
is no longer in flight.
CPU0 CPU1
intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq
(queue request completion)
i915_request_cancel_signaling
... ...
i915_request_enable_signaling
dma_fence_signal
Hence in the time it took us to drop the lock to signal the request, a
preemption event may have occurred and re-queued the request. In the
process, that request would have seen I915_FENCE_FLAG_SIGNAL clear and
so reused the rq->signal_link that was in use on CPU0, leading to bad
pointer chasing in intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq.
A related issue was that if someone started listening for a signal on a
completed but no longer in-flight request, we missed the opportunity to
immediately signal that request.
Furthermore, as intel_contexts may be immediately released during
request retirement, in order to be entirely sure that
intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq may no longer dereference the intel_context
(ce->signals and ce->signal_link), we must wait for irq spinlock.
In order to prevent the race, we use a bit in the fence.flags to signal
the transfer onto the signal list inside intel_engine_breadcrumbs_irq.
For simplicity, we use the DMA_FENCE_FLAG_SIGNALED_BIT as it then
quickly signals to any outside observer that the fence is indeed signaled.
v2: Sketch out potential dma-fence API for manual signaling
v3: And the test_and_set_bit()

In preparation for an ever growing number of engines and so ever
increasing static array of HW contexts within the GEM context, move the
array over to an rbtree, allocated upon first use.
Unfortunately, this imposes an rbtree lookup at a few frequent callsites,
but we should be able to mitigate those by moving over to using the HW
context as our primary type and so only incur the lookup on the boundary
with the user GEM context and engines.

WAIT is occasionally suppressed by virtue of preempted requests being
promoted to NEWCLIENT if they have not all ready received that boost.
Make this consistent for all WAIT boosts that they are not allowed to
preempt executing contexts and are merely granted the right to be at the
front of the queue for the next execution slot. This is in keeping with
the desire that the WAIT boost be a minor tweak that does not give
excessive promotion to its user and open ourselves to trivial abuse.
The problem with the inconsistent WAIT preemption becomes more apparent
as the preemption is propagated across the engines, where one engine may
preempt and the other not, and we be relying on the exact execution
order being consistent across engines (e.g. using HW semaphores to
coordinate parallel execution).
v2: Also protect GuC submission from false preemption loops.

As kmem_caches share the same properties (size, allocation/free behaviour)
for all potential devices, we can use global caches. While this
potential has worse fragmentation behaviour (one can argue that
different devices would have different activity lifetimes, but you can
also argue that activity is temporal across the system) it is the
default behaviour of the system at large to amalgamate matching caches.
The benefit for us is much reduced pointer dancing along the frequent
allocation paths.

multiple consumers of the slab caches, similar to the current strategy
for avoiding shrinking too early.

In order to avoid preempting ourselves, we currently refuse to schedule
the tasklet if we reschedule an inflight context. However, this glosses
over a few issues such as what happens after a CS completion event and
we then preempt the newly executing context with itself, or if something
else causes a tasklet_schedule triggering the same evaluation to
preempt the active context with itself.
However, when we avoid preempting ELSP[0], we still retain the preemption
value as it may match a second preemption request within the same time period
that we need to resolve after the next CS event. However, since we only
store the maximum preemption priority seen, it may not match the
subsequent event and so we should double check whether or not we
actually do need to trigger a preempt-to-idle by comparing the top
priorities from each queue. Later, this gives us a hook for finer
control over deciding whether the preempt-to-idle is justified.
The sequence of events where we end up preempting for no avail is:
1. Queue requests/contexts A, B
2. Priority boost A; no preemption as it is executing, but keep hint
3. After CS switch, B is less than hint, force preempt-to-idle
4. Resubmit B after idling
v2: We can simplify a bunch of tests based on the knowledge that PI will
ensure that earlier requests along the same context will have the highest
priority.
v3: Demonstrate the stale preemption hint with a selftest

After noticing that we trigger preemption events for currently executing
requests, as well as requests that complete before the preemption and
attempting to suppress those preemption events, it is wise to not
consider the queue_priority to be authoritative. As we only track the
maximum priority seen between dequeue passes, if the maximum priority
request is no longer available for dequeuing (it completed or is even
executing on another engine), we have no knowledge of the previous
queue_priority as it would require us to keep a full history of enqueued
requests -- but we already have that history in the priolists!
Rename the queue_priority to queue_priority_hint so that we do not
confuse it as being exactly the maximum priority in the queue, but merely
an indication that we have seen a new maximum priority value and as such
we should check whether it should preempt the currently running request.
v2: s/preempt_priority_hint/queue_priority_hint/ as preempt implies it
being only used for the singular task of preemption and not the wider
question of waking up due to a change in the queue.

Now that the submission backends are controlled via their own spinlocks,
with a wave of a magic wand we can lift the struct_mutex requirement
around GPU reset. That is we allow the submission frontend (userspace)
to keep on submitting while we process the GPU reset as we can suspend
the backend independently.
The major change is around the backoff/handoff strategy for performing
the reset. With no mutex deadlock, we no longer have to coordinate with
any waiter, and just perform the reset immediately.

appropriate
- do not stop on error in guc_verify_doorbells
- do not print drbreg on error: the only content of the register

address, which we can't use even if valid because we don't know
which descriptor it came from (since the doorbell is in an unexpected

As we are about to allow ourselves to slightly bump the user priority
into a few different sublevels, packthose internal priority lists
into the same i915_priolist to keep the rbtree compact and avoid having
to allocate the default user priority even after the internal bumping.
The downside to having an requests[] rather than a node per active list,
is that we then have to walk over the empty higher priority lists. To
compensate, we track the active buckets and use a small bitmap to skip
over any inactive ones.

If the request is currently on the HW (in port 0), then we do not need
to kick the submission tasklet to evaluate whether we should be
preempting itself in order to execute it again.
In the case that was annoying me:
execlists_schedule: rq(18:211173).prio=0 -> 2
need_preempt: last(18:211174).prio=0, queue.prio=2
We are bumping the priority of the first of a pair of requests running
in the current context. Then when evaluating preempt, we would see that
that our priority request is higher than the last executing request in
ELSP0 and so trigger preemption, not realising that our intended request
was already executing.
v2: As we assume state of the execlists->port[] that is only valid while
we hold the timeline lock we have to repeat some earlier tests that on
the validity of the node.
