[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 04/41] drm/i915: Teach the i915_dependency to use a double-lock

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Mon Jan 25 14:00:59 UTC 2021


Currently, we construct and teardown the i915_dependency chains using a
global spinlock. As the lists are entirely local, it should be possible
to use an double-lock with an explicit nesting [signaler -> waiter,
always] and so avoid the costly convenience of a global spinlock.
