I have just posted an updated subset of the patch series. Note that one patch has been inserted in the middle and the first one has been dropped. The correct sequence is now:

   01    drm/i915: Remove redundant parameter to
   i915_gem_object_wait_rendering__tail()
   02    drm/i915: Ensure OLS & PLR are always in sync
   03    drm/i915: Add reference count to request structure
   04    drm/i915: Add helper functions to aid seqno -> request transition
   05    drm/i915: Replace last_[rwf]_seqno with last_[rwf]_req
   06    drm/i915: Ensure requests stick around during waits
   07    drm/i915: Remove 'outstanding_lazy_seqno'
   08    drm/i915: Make 'i915_gem_check_olr' actually check by request
   not seqno
   09    drm/i915: Convert 'last_flip_req' to be a request not a seqno
   10    drm/i915: Convert i915_wait_seqno to i915_wait_request
   11    drm/i915: Convert 'i915_add_request' to take a request not a seqno
   12    drm/i915: Convert mmio_flip::seqno to struct request
   13    drm/i915: Convert 'flip_queued_seqno' into 'flip_queued_request'
   14    drm/i915: Connect requests to rings at creation not submission
   15    drm/i915: Convert most 'i915_seqno_passed' calls into
   'i915_gem_request_completed'
   16    drm/i915: Convert __wait_seqno() to __wait_request()
   17    drm/i915: Convert trace functions from seqno to request
   18    drm/i915: Convert 'trace_irq' to use requests rather than seqnos
   19    drm/i915: Convert semaphores to handle requests not seqnos
   20    drm/i915: Convert 'ring_idle()' to use requests not seqnos
   21    drm/i915: Remove 'obj->ring'
   22    drm/i915: Cache request completion status
   23    drm/i915: Zero fill the request structure
   24    drm/i915: Defer seqno allocation until actual hardware
   submission time


The whole set in its latest and greatest form has also been uploaded to the drm-private git as 'topic/seqno-request'.

Work in progress for replacing seqno usage with requst structures.

There is a general feeling that it is better to move away from using a simple
integer 'seqno' value to track batch buffer completion. Instead, the request
structure should be used. That provides for much more flexibility going
forwards. Especially which things like a GPU scheduler (which can re-order batch
buffers and hence seqnos after submission to the hardware), Android sync points
and other such features which potentially make seqno usage more and more
complex.

The current set of patches do most of the seqno to request structure conversion.
There are still a couple of direct seqno comparisons in the semaphore code. The
final conversion of a seqno test into a 'completed' flag inside the request
structure is still do to as well. Along with whatever changes are required to
maintain such a flag.

The patches are being posted now to make sure that the various people involved
agree that it is heading in the right direction.
