Mali Midgard/Bifrost GPUs have 3 hardware queues but only a global GPU reset. This leads to extra complexity when we need to synchronize timeout works with the reset work. One solution to address that is to have an ordered workqueue at the driver level that will be used by the different schedulers to queue their timeout work. Thanks to the serialization provided by the ordered workqueue we are guaranteed that timeout handlers are executed sequentially, and can thus easily reset the GPU from the timeout handler without extra synchronization. v5: * Add a new paragraph to the timedout_job() method v3: * New patch v4: * Actually use the timeout_wq to queue the timeout work Suggested-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Lucas Stach <l.stach@pengutronix.de> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Acked-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Cc: Qiang Yu <yuq825@gmail.com> Cc: Emma Anholt <emma@anholt.net> Cc: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> Cc: "Christian König" <christian.koenig@amd.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210630062751.2832545-3-boris.brezillon@collabora.com
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.
