> When using GuC submission, some execlists originated helper functions
> are reused. One of them, used inside guc_reset() and
> guc_cancel_requests() callbacks introduced by commit 292ad25c22d9
> ("drm/i915/guc: Implement reset locally"), unfortunately calls
> execlists_schedule_out() helper instead of its GuC specific equivalent.
> As execlists functions maintain context references for themselves, that
> helper releases a context associated with a request being processed as
> soon as the context inflight queue becomes empty. Since GuC submission
> doesn't keep extra context references, possibly still active contexts
> may be released prematurely, resulting in kernel panic.
>
> Fix it by providing a local, modified copy of
> execlists_cancel_port_requests() helper.
Then remove the export and stub.
