Thanks. Applied, please yell if I broke anything, or better yet donate
some machines to testing intel-gfx@ :)
There will be a few more changes to make struct intel_context a first
class citizen for i915_request if Tvrtko manages to whip me or the api
into shape. So expect a little more upheaval in the coming months.
I'm thinking an api like:
ce = intel_context_get_and_lock(context, engine);
rq = i915_request_get(ce);
...
i915_request_add(rq);
intel_context_put_and_unlock(ce);
(get_and_lock() is a helper around _get() and _lock())
In the gvt case, I expect you will want to manage your intel_contexts
explicitly as the ref/pin/locked phases is slightly longer for you than
the typical construct-a-request used elsewhere. Note also that the goal
is to replace the struct_mutex with fine grained locks.
