Single (per-device) ordered workqueue will serialize interrupt 
processing across all engines to one thread. Together with the fact 
request worker does not seem to need the sleeping context, I am thinking 
that a tasklet per engine would be much better (see engine->irq_tasklet 
for an example).

This needs a comment I think because it is so unusual and new that 
req->seqno == 0 is a special path. To explain why and how it can happen 
here.

Hm I don't understand why our custom waiting remains? Shouldn't 
fence_wait just be called after the optimistic spin, more or less?

What protects request->irq_enabled? Here versus enable_signalling bit? 
It can be called from the external fence users which would take the 
fence_lock, but here it does not.

How useful is this? If it went wrong engine irq reference counting would 
be bad. Okay no one would notice, but we could then stick some other 
warns here, list !list_empy(req->list) and who knows what, which we 
don't have, so I am just wondering if this one brings any value.

I am thinking that the fence lock could be held here until the end of 
the function and in such way i915_gem_request_enable_interrupt would not 
need the fence_locked parameter any more.

It would probably also be safer with regards to accesing the 
req->signal_requested. I am not sure that enable signalling and this 
otherwise can't race and miss the signal_requested getting set?

The double negation confused me a bit. It is probably not ideal since 
WARN_ONs go to the out of line section so in a way it is deliberately 
penalising the fast and expected path. I think it would be better to put 
a WARN on the else path.

In what scenarios is the list_empty check needed? Someone can somehow 
enable signalling on a fence not yet submitted?

Okay this without the lock still makes me nervous. I'd rather not having 
to think about why it is safe and can't miss a wakeup.

Also I would be leaning toward having i915_gem_request_notify and 
i915_gem_request_notify__unlocked. With the enable_interrupts 
simplification I suggested it think it would look better and be more 
consistent with the rest of the driver.

Not called from hard irq context so can be just spin_lock_irq.

But if you agree to go with the tasklet it would then be spin_lock_bh.

I forgot how signalling errors to userspace works? Does that still work 
for cancelled fences in this series?

Hmm.. but this function has just walked the same lists this will, and 
done the same processing. Why call this from here? It looks bad to me, 
the two are different special cases of the similar thing so I can't see 
that calling this from here makes sense.

Would it work to signal the fence from the existing loop a bit above in 
this function which already walks the request list in search for 
completed ones? Or maybe even in i915_gem_request_retire?

I am thinking about doing less list walking and better integration with 
the core GEM. Downside would be more traffic on the fence_lock, hmm.. 
not sure then. It just looks a bit bolted on like this.

I don't see it being a noticeable cost so perhaps it can stay like this 
for now.

Yes that is the weird part, why the engine->irq_queue has to remain with 
this patch?
