drm/i915: Flush outstanding requests before allocating new seqno
In very rare cases (such as a memory failure stress test) it is possible to fill the entire ring without emitting a request. Under this circumstance, the outstanding request is flushed and waited upon. After space on the ring is cleared, we return to emitting the new command - except that we just cleared the seqno allocated for this operation and trigger the sanity check that a request is only ever emitted with a valid seqno. The fix is to rearrange the code to make sure the allocation of the seqno for this operation is after any required flushes of outstanding operations. The bug exists since the preallocation was introduced in commit 9d773091 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Tue Nov 27 16:22:52 2012 +0000 drm/i915: Preallocate next seqno before touching the ring Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
