There was an attempt to fix an issue of illegal attempts to free a still
active i915 VMA object when parking a GT believed to be idle, reported by
CI on 2-GT Meteor Lake. As a solution, an extra wakeref for a Primary GT
was acquired from i915_gem_do_execbuffer() -- see commit f56fe3e91787
("drm/i915: Fix a VMA UAF for multi-gt platform").
However, that fix occurred insufficient -- the issue was still reported by
CI. That wakeref was released on exit from i915_gem_do_execbuffer(), then
potentially before completion of the request and deactivation of its
associated VMAs. Moreover, CI reports indicated that single-GT platforms
also suffered sporadically from the same race.
Since the issue has now been fixed by a preceding patch "drm/i915/vma: Fix
UAF on destroy against retire race", drop the no longer useful changes
introduced by that insufficient fix.
v3: Also drop the no longer used .wakeref_gt0 field from struct
i915_execbuffer.
v2: Avoid the word "revert" in commit message (Rodrigo),
- update commit description reusing relevant chunks dropped from the
description of the proper fix (Rodrigo).

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.
