Doing devcoredump initializing before GT though look harmless, it leads
to problem during driver unbind. Because of this order, GT/Engine
release functions will be called before xe devcoredump release function
(xe_driver_devcoredump_fini) leading to the following kernel crash[1]
because the devcoredump functions might still use GT/Engine
datastructures after those are freed.
The following crash is observed while running the IGT
xe_wedged@wedged-at-any-timeout. The test forces a wedged state by
submitting a workload which hangs. Then does a unbind/rebind of the
driver to recover from the wedged state.
The hanged workload leads to a devcoredump. The following crash is
noticed when the devcoredump capture races with the driver unbind.
During driver unbind, the release function hw_engine_fini() will be
called which assigns NULL to hwe->gt. But the same data structure is
accessed during the coredump capture in the function
xe_engine_snapshot_print by reading snapshot->hwe->gt.
With this patch, we make sure the devcoredump is stopped before
deinitializing the core driver functions.

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 reStructuredText 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.
