[Intel-gfx] [RFC PATCH 24/42] drm/i915/guc: Insert submit fences between requests in parent-child relationship

Tue Jul 20 20:57:44 UTC 2021


The GuC must receive requests in the order submitted for contexts in a
parent-child relationship to function correctly. To ensure this, insert
a submit fence between the current request and last request submitted
for requests / contexts in a parent child relationship. This is
conceptually similar to a single timeline.
