[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3 06/20] drm/sched: improve docs around drm_sched_entity

Thu Jul 8 17:37:40 UTC 2021


I found a few too many things that are tricky and not documented, so I
started typing.

I found a few more things that looked broken while typing, see the
varios FIXME in drm_sched_entity.

Also some of the usual logics:
- actually include sched_entity.c declarations, that was lost in the
  move here: 620e762f9a98 ("drm/scheduler: move entity handling into
  separate file")

- Ditch the kerneldoc for internal functions, keep the comments where
  they're describing more than what the function name already implies.

- Switch drm_sched_entity to inline docs.
