Inside the execlists submission tasklet, we often make the mistake of
assuming that everything beneath the request is available for use.
However, the submission and the request live on two separate timelines,
and the request contents may be freed from an early retirement before we
have had a chance to run the submission tasklet (think ksoftirqd). To
safeguard ourselves against any mistakes, flush the tasklet before we
unpin the context if execlists still has a reference to this context.

Put it in execlists_context_schedule_in/out?

Why does it have to be the engine pointer and not just a boolean?
Because we don't have an engine backpointer in hw_context? Should we add
it? I think I had occasionally wished we had it.. maybe too much work to
evaluate what function prototypes we could clean up with it and whether
it would be an overall gain.

It's a backpointer in hw_context for the purposes of being a backpointer
in hw_context. Its purpose is for:

	active = READ_ONCE(ve->context.active);
         if (active && active != engine) {
         	rb = rb_next(rb);
         	continue;
         }

Yeah, I was asking why not call it 'engine' and have the active flag as boolean. I guess because ce->engine will not be permanent soon.

Hm hm hm... my initial thought was that interrupts could be more delayed
than breadcrumb writes (more than one context ahead), in which case the
process_csb below could be premature and the assert would trigger. But I
must be forgetting something since that would also mean we would
prematurely unpin the context. So I must be forgetting something..

There will have been at least one CS event written because we have
switched contexts due to the unpin being one seqno behind. I have not
(yet) observed CS events being out of order with breadcrumb writes (and
we have very strict checking) so confident that a single process_csb()
is required rather than a loop.

I did not mean out of order but just delayed.

Say port 0 & 1 are both submitted, we observe seqno 1 & 2 as complete, but the ctx complete irq/handler has been delayed. We go to unpin ctx0 (port0) but ce->active hasn't been cleared due no ctx complete yet so the assert triggers. Impossible in your experience?

Tvrtko
