Linux kernel source tree
d9d29c747d
When the APIs were added to manage the engine set on a GEM context directly from userspace, the questionable choice was made to allow changing the engine set on a context at any time. This is horribly racy and there's absolutely no reason why any userspace would want to do this outside of trying to exercise interesting race conditions. By removing support for CONTEXT_PARAM_ENGINES from ctx_setparam, we make it impossible to change the engine set after the context has been fully created. This doesn't yet let us delete all the deferred engine clean-up code as that's still used for handling the case where the client dies or calls GEM_CONTEXT_DESTROY while work is in flight. However, moving to an API where the engine set is effectively immutable gives us more options to potentially clean that code up a bit going forward. It also removes a whole class of ways in which a client can hurt itself or try to get around kernel context banning. v2 (Jason Ekstrand): - Expand the commit mesage v3 (Jason Ekstrand): - Make it more obvious that I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_ENGINES returns -EINVAL Signed-off-by: Jason Ekstrand <jason@jlekstrand.net> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210708154835.528166-27-jason@jlekstrand.net |

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.
