Timeline barrier allows serialization between different timelines. After calling i915_timeline_set_barrier with a request, all following submissions on this timeline will be set up as depending on this request, or barrier. Once the barrier has been completed it automatically gets cleared and things continue as normal. This facility will be used by the upcoming context SSEU code. v2: * Assert barrier has been retired on timeline_fini. (Chris Wilson) * Fix mock_timeline. v3: * Improved comment language. (Chris Wilson) v4: * Maintain ordering with previous barriers set on the timeline. v5: * Rebase.

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.
