Danilo Krummrich 7baf605564 drm/nouveau: sched: avoid job races between entities
If a sched job depends on a dma-fence from a job from the same GPU
scheduler instance, but a different scheduler entity, the GPU scheduler
does only wait for the particular job to be scheduled, rather than for
the job to fully complete. This is due to the GPU scheduler assuming
that there is a scheduler instance per ring. However, the current
implementation, in order to avoid arbitrary amounts of kthreads, has a
single scheduler instance while scheduler entities represent rings.

As a workaround, set the DRM_SCHED_FENCE_DONT_PIPELINE for all
out-fences in order to force the scheduler to wait for full job
completion for dependent jobs from different entities and same scheduler
instance.

There is some work in progress [1] to address the issues of firmware
schedulers; once it is in-tree the scheduler topology in Nouveau should
be re-worked accordingly.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
