In the next patch, we will introduce a new asynchronous retirement worker, fed by execlists CS events. Here we may queue a retirement as soon as a request is submitted to HW (and completes instantly), and we also want to process that retirement as early as possible and cannot afford to postpone (as there may not be another opportunity to retire it for a few seconds). To allow the new async retirer to run in parallel with our submission, pull the __i915_request_queue (that passes the request to HW) inside the timelines spinlock so that the retirement cannot release the timeline before we have completed the submission. v2: Actually to play nicely with engine_retire, we have to raise the timeline.active_lock before releasing the HW. intel_gt_retire_requsts() is still serialised by the outer lock so they cannot see this intermediate state, and engine_retire is serialised by HW submission.

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.
