By placing our idle-barriers in the i915_active fence tree, we expose those for reuse by other components that are issuing requests along the kernel_context. Reusing the proto-barrier active_node is perfectly fine as the new request implies a context-switch, and so an opportune point to run the idle-barrier. However, the proto-barrier is not equivalent to a normal active_node and care must be taken to avoid dereferencing the ERR_PTR used as its request marker. v2: Comment the more egregious cheek v3: A glossary!

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.
