[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 16/20] drm/i915: Fix __i915_wait_request() behaviour during hang detection.

Tomas Elf tomas.elf at intel.com
Thu Oct 22 18:32:38 PDT 2015


Use is_locked parameter in __i915_wait_request() to determine if a thread
should be forced to back off and retry or if it can continue sleeping. Don't
return -EIO from __i915_wait_request since that is bad for the upper layers,
only -EAGAIN to signify reset in progress. (unless the driver is terminally
wedged, in which case there's no mode of recovery left to attempt)

Also, use is_locked in trace_i915_gem_request_wait_begin() trace point for more
accurate reflection of current thread's lock state.
