intel_timeline_read_hwsp() is used to support semaphore waits between engines, that may themselves be deferred for arbitrary periods -- that is the read of the target request's HWSP is at an indeterminant point in the future. To support this, we need to prevent overwriting a HWSP that is being watched across a seqno wrap (otherwise the next request will write its value into the old HWSP preventing the watcher from making progress, ad infinitum.) To simulate the observer across a wrap, let's create a request that reads from the HWSP and dispatch it at different points around a wrap to see if the value is lost.

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.
