Doesn't changing the exclusive_stream require serialization against the
requests? Therefore we would be safe here for reset as the existence of
the incomplete request that we are altering is the barrier.
Wait... You don't have that barrier anymore? So you never change the
context image for the exclusive stream on setting and force the reload
of the image? I expected to see something like
gen8_configure_all_contexts(), but only needing to change the old/new
exclusive_streams.
At any rate, just wrapping exclusive_stream = bah inside struct_mutex is
not the barrier you intended, or at least not the barrier I think you need
wrt to request construction and concurrent execution thereof.
Longer term, I don't plan for the context allocation/initialisation to
be under the struct_mutex, but we can still expect it to be part of the
request construction, so would still be serialized by a future semaphore
between oa and execbuf.
