Having recognised that we do not change the sibling until we schedule out, we can then defer the decision to resubmit the virtual engine from the unwind of the active queue to scheduling out of the virtual context. This improves our resilence in virtual engine scheduling, and should eliminate the rare cases of gem_exec_balance failing. By keeping the unwind order intact on the local engine, we can preserve data dependency ordering while doing a preempt-to-busy pass until we have determined the new ELSP. This means that if we try to timeslice between a virtual engine and a data-dependent ordinary request, the pair will maintain their relative ordering and we will avoid the resubmission, cancelling the timeslicing until further change. The dilemma though is that we then may end up in a situation where the 'demotion' of the virtual request to an ordinary request in the engine queue results in filling the ELSP[] with virtual requests instead of spreading the load across the engines. To compensate for this, we mark each virtual request and refuse to resubmit a virtual request in the secondary ELSP slots, thus forcing subsequent virtual requests to be scheduled out after timeslicing. By delaying the decision until we schedule out, we will avoid unnecessary resubmission.

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.
