As we use a shmemfs file to hold the context state, when not in use it
may be swapped out, such as across suspend. Since we wrote into the
shmemfs without marking the pages as dirty, the contents may be dropped
instead of being written back to swap. On re-using the shmemfs file,
such as creating a new context after resume, the contents of that file
were likely garbage and so the new context could then hang the GPU.
Simply mark the page as being written when copying into the shmemfs
file, and it the new contents will be retained across swapout.

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.
