s/ at which point/. Then/
At least feels a bit like a run-on sentence :-)

I'd go with WARN_ON here. We just leak, and BUG_ON kills the box.
GEM_BUG_ON is for the additional gem consistency checks which are too
expensive to have enabled in production. Registering a proto context isn't
one of these things.

Same song about WARN_ON here.

My bikeshed would call this finalize_create_context_locked or something
like that ... At least I'm thinking of this more as "finializing the
process of creating a context" and less of "creating context on-demand".
The latter is e.g. what we're doing with the default engine set. Different
beasts conceptually.

I think a comment here that we need to hold the proto mutex even for
finalized context to avoid races with finalization would be nice.

Not unconditionally taking the mutex here feels a bit like overkill? Do we
really need that fast path?

I think the way to do that is to finalize the context creation from
CONTEXT_CREATE_EXT on these platforms. That plugs this hole for good and
by design. Maybe on gen13+ or something like that. Or whatever it is we're
using for enumerating generations now.

I don't think you need to check for ret here? It's not set by any path
leading to here where ctx != NULL.
Also mildly unhappy about the control flow here, we could simplify it if
we don't do the lockless faspath.

Pls fix hyperlinks.
Also please put your nice explainer from the commit message here ...
> + struct xarray proto_context_xa;
> +
> + /** @context_xa: xarray of fully created i915_gem_context */
... and reference it with a "See @proto_context_xa" here.
Maybe also reference i915_gem_context_lookup() from these so readers of
the code can easily find all the pieces of this magic.
Also mention here that write access to @context_xa is protected by
@proto_context_lock. It must be held to avoid races with finalization of
proto context in e.g. i915_gem_context_destroy_ioctl(), and this wasn't
obvious to me at all.
