xe_assert() is intended to be used only for "impossible" situations that should never be hit (and if they are hit it means there's a driver bug somewhere); assertions are only compiled into debug builds. Although we expect jobs submitted by the kernel to be well-behaved and run without error, timeouts are a legitimate possibility for reasons beyond our control (bad firmware, flaky hardware, etc.). We should use a real WARN if we encounter these, even for non-debug builds, to ensure the issue is being properly highlighted in bug reports and such. Also give the WARNs more human-readable messages and move them below the general notice-level message that gets printed for any kind of timeout to make the errors a bit more understandable. v2: - Convert the VM / exec_queue_killed assertion as well.

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.
