If two requests are on the same ring, they are explicitly ordered by the HW. So, a submission fence is sufficient to ensure ordering when using the new GuC submission interface. Conversely, if two requests share a timeline and are on the same physical engine but different context this doesn't ensure ordering on the new GuC submission interface. So, a completion fence needs to be used to ensure ordering. v2: (Daniele) - Don't delete spin lock v3: (Daniele) - Delete forward dec Signed-off-by: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@Intel.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Daniele Ceraolo Spurio <daniele.ceraolospurio@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@Intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210721215101.139794-13-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.
