On A5XX GPUs when preemption is used it's invietable to enter a soft
lock-up state in which GPU is stuck at empty ring-buffer doing nothing.
This appears as full UI lockup and not detected as GPU hang (because
it's not). This happens due to not triggering preemption when it was
needed. Sometimes this state can be recovered by some new submit but
generally it won't happen because applications are waiting for old
submits to retire.
One of the reasons why this happens is a race between a5xx_submit and
a5xx_preempt_trigger called from IRQ during submit retire. Former thread
updates ring->cur of previously empty and not current ring right after
latter checks it for emptiness. Then both threads can just exit because
for first one preempt_state wasn't NONE yet and for second one all rings
appeared to be empty.
To prevent such situations from happening we need to establish guarantee
for preempt_trigger to make decision after each submit or retire. To
implement this we serialize preemption initiation using spinlock. If
switch is already in progress we need to re-trigger preemption when it
finishes.

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 reStructuredText 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.
