Replace the global device seqno with one for each engine, and account for in-flight seqno on each separately. This is consistent with dma-fence as each timeline has separate fence-contexts for each engine and a seqno is only ordered within a fence-context (i.e. seqno do not need to be ordered wrt to other engines, just ordered within a single engine). This is required to enable request rewinding for preemption on individual engines (we have to rewind the global seqno to avoid overflow, and we do not have to rewind all engines just to preempt one.) v2: Rename active_seqno to inflight_seqnos to more clearly indicate that it is a counter and not equivalent to the existing seqno. Update functions that operated on active_seqno similarly.

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.
