In order to avoid some nasty mutex inversions, commit09c5ab384f("drm/i915: Keep rings pinned while the context is active") allowed the intel_ring unpinning to be run concurrently with the next context pinning it. Thus each step in intel_ring_unpin() needed to be atomic and ordered in a nice onion with intel_ring_pin() so that the lifetimes overlapped and were always safe. Sadly, a few steps in intel_ring_unpin() were overlooked, such as closing the read/write pointers of the ring and discarding the intel_ring.vaddr, as these steps were not serialised with intel_ring_pin() and so could leave the ring in disarray.

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.
