If the request is currently on the HW (in port 0), then we do not need to kick the submission tasklet to evaluate whether we should be preempting itself in order to execute it again. In the case that was annoying me: execlists_schedule: rq(18:211173).prio=0 -> 2 need_preempt: last(18:211174).prio=0, queue.prio=2 We are bumping the priority of the first of a pair of requests running in the current context. Then when evaluating preempt, we would see that that our priority request is higher than the last executing request in ELSP0 and so trigger preemption, not realising that our intended request was already executing. v2: As we assume state of the execlists->port[] that is only valid while we hold the timeline lock we have to repeat some earlier tests that on the validity of the node. v3: Wrap guc submission under the timeline.lock as is now the way of all things.

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.
