So no idea how this works, but generally we put a "Protecte by
&struct.lock" or similar in here (so you get a nice link plus something
you can use as jump label in your ide too). Plus since intel_context has
some lifetime rules, explaining whether you're allowed to use the pointer
after you unlock, or whether you need to grab a reference or what exactly
is going on. Usually there's three options:
- No refcounting, you cannot access a pointer obtained through this after
you unluck.
- Weak reference, you upgrade to a full reference with
kref_get_unless_zero. If that fails it indicates a lookup failure, since
you raced with destruction. If it succeeds you can use the pointer after
unlock.
- Strong reference, you get your own reference that stays valid with
kref_get().
I'm just bringing this up because the current i915-gem code is full of
very tricky locking and lifetime rules, and explains roughly nothing of it
in the data structures. Minimally some hints about the locking/lifetime
rules of important structs should be there.
For locking rules it's good to double-down on them by adding
lockdep_assert_held to all relevant functions (where appropriate only
ofc).
What I generally don't think makes sense is to then also document the
locking in the kerneldoc for the functions. That tends to be one place too
many and ime just gets out of date and not useful at all.

Yeah that would be nice.
