Due to the latency of the tasklet running from ksoftirqd, by the time we process the execlist dequeue may be a long time behind the GPU. If the request was completed when we ran reschedule, we will not have tweaked its priority, but if it is still listed as being in-flight for dequeue we will use it as a reference for the rest of the queue, including requests from its own context which will now be at higher priority. This can cause us to issue a preempt-to-idle request, even though the request we want to preempt is already complete.

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.
