As far as I can tell, the only real reason for this is to avoid taking a reference to the i915_gem_context. The cost of those two atomics probably pales in comparison to the cost of the ioctl itself so we're really not buying ourselves anything here. We're about to make context lookup a tiny bit more complicated, so let's get rid of the one hand- rolled case. Some usermode drivers such as our Vulkan driver call GET_RESET_STATS on every execbuf so the perf here could theoretically be an issue. If this ever does become a performance issue for any such userspace drivers, they can use set CONTEXT_PARAM_RECOVERABLE to false and look for -EIO coming from execbuf to check for hangs instead. v2 (Daniel Vetter): - Add a comment in the commit message about recoverable contexts Signed-off-by: Jason Ekstrand <jason@jlekstrand.net> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210708154835.528166-14-jason@jlekstrand.net
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.
