Re: [PATCH] drm/i915/guc: Use lockless list for destroyed contexts

On 12/22/2021 15:29, Matthew Brost wrote:

Use a lockless list structure for destroyed contexts to avoid hammering on global submission spin lock.

I thought the guidance was that lockless anything without an explanation longer than War And Peace comes with an automatic termination penalty?

Also, I thought the simple suggestion was to just move the entire list sideways under the existing lock and then loop through the local list safely without requiring locks because it is now local only.
