    drm/i915/execlists: Move reset_active() from schedule-out to schedule-in · 98ae6fb3
    Chris Wilson authored
    The gem_ctx_persistence/smoketest was detecting an odd coherency issue
    inside the LRC context image; that the address of the ring buffer did
    not match our associated struct intel_ring. As we set the address into
    the context image when we pin the ring buffer into place before the
    context is active, that leaves the question of where did it get
    overwritten. Either the HW context save occurred after our pin which
    would imply that our idle barriers are broken, or we overwrote the
    context image ourselves. It is only in reset_active() where we dabble
    inside the context image outside of a serialised path from schedule-out;
    but we could equally perform the operation inside schedule-in which is
    then fully serialised with the context pin -- and remains serialised by
    the engine pulse with kill_context(). (The only downside, aside from
    doing more work inside the engine->active.lock, was the plan to merge
    all the reset paths into doing their context scrubbing on schedule-out
    needs more thought.)
