As a backup to waiting on a user-interrupt from the GPU, we use a heavy and frequent timer to wake up the waiting process should we detect an inconsistency whilst waiting. After seeing a "missed interrupt", the next time we wait, we restart the heavy timer. This patch is more reluctant to restart the timer and will only do so if we have not see any interrupts since when we started the fake irq timer. If we are seeing interrupts, then the waiters are being woken normally and we had an incoherency that caused to miss last time - that is unlikely to reoccur and so taking the risk of stalling again seems pragmatic.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
