Chris Wilson d231c15aff drm/i915: Protect context while grabbing its name for the request
Inside print_request(), we query the context/timeline name. Nothing
immediately protects the context from being freed if the request is
complete -- we rely on serialisation by the caller to keep the name
valid until they finish using it. Inside intel_engine_dump(), we
generally only print the requests in the execution queue protected by the
engine->active.lock, but we also show the pending execlists ports which
are not protected and so require a rcu_read_lock to keep the pointer
valid.

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.
