When i915 receives a context reset notification from GuC, it triggers an error capture before resetting any outstanding requsts of that context. Unfortunately, the error capture is not a time bound operation. In certain situations it can take a long time, particularly when multiple large LMEM buffers must be read back and eoncoded. If this delay is longer than other timeouts (heartbeat, test recovery, etc.) then a full GT reset can be triggered in the middle. That can result in the context being reset by GuC actually being destroyed before the error capture completes and the GuC submission code resumes. Thus, the GuC side can start dereferencing stale pointers and Bad Things ensue. So add a refcount get of the context during the entire reset operation. That way, the context can't be destroyed part way through no matter what other resets or user interactions occur. v2: (Matthew Brost) - Update patch to work with async error capture v3: (Matthew Brost) - Drop async capture support as that hasn't landed yet Signed-off-by: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@Intel.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20211108164054.23588-1-matthew.brost@intel.com
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.
