    drm/i915: Introduce intel_context.pin_mutex for pin management · 08819549
    Chris Wilson authored
    Introduce a mutex to start locking the HW contexts independently of
    struct_mutex, with a view to reducing the coarse struct_mutex. The
    intel_context.pin_mutex is used to guard the transition to and from being
    pinned on the gpu, and so is required before starting to build any
    request. The intel_context will then remain pinned until the request
    completes, but the mutex can be released immediately unpin completion of
    pinning the context.
    
    A slight variant of the above is used by per-context sseu that wants to
    inspect the pinned status of the context, and requires that it remains
    stable (either !pinned or pinned) across its operation. By using the
    pin_mutex to serialise operations while pin_count==0, we can take that
    pin_mutex for stabilise the boolean pin status.
    
    v2: for Tvrtko!
    * Improved commit message.
    * Dropped _gpu suffix from gen8_modify_rpcs_gpu.
    v3: Repair the locking for sseu selftests
