Using a VMA on more than one timeline concurrently is the exception rather than the rule (using it concurrently on multiple engines). As we expect to only use one active tracker, store the most recently used tracker inside the i915_vma itself and only fallback to the rbtree if we need a second or more concurrent active trackers. v2: Comments on how we overwrite any existing last_active cache. v3: __list_del_entry() before list_replace_init() is confusing and, much more important, entirely redundant. v4: Note that both last_active and the rbtree may be simultaneously tracking this timeline, albeit with different requests, and so the vma may be retired twice for the same timeline. v5: No, that list_del is required!

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
