In our normal nomenclature __intel_context_enter would be expected to be
directly called by intel_context_enter on the 0 -> 1 refcnt transition.
Here they are in fact common helpers, so one level of indirection, via a
different layer. I found this a bit confusing at first. My usual remedy
here is to prescribe a better name. __intel_gt_context_enter/exit? To
designate the glue between backend and GT.

The use of gt/gem here is a placeholder. Here we will be iterating over
the engines (so just the one for the usual contexts, and num_siblings for
virtual).

intel_context_enter_engine() ?

And virtual_context_enter remains distinct.

I did not find it at first since from the commit message I expected you would be assigning backend specific enter/exit callbacks to ce->ops. I see now that in "drm/i915: Invert the GEM wakeref hierarchy" you in fact just change the bodies of __intel_context_enter/exit. The only vfunc override comes with the virtual engine as you wrote.

intel_context_enter_engine sounds okay consider all this.

GEM_BUG_ON(ce->active_count == 0) ?

We're no longer in Kansas. I was wondering if I could start GT_BUG_ON
and include "intel_gt.h" with a goal of doing a search and replace within
gt/. That gives us some separation from GEM, and maybe we could even
start filtering based on need.

I fear it would be too much for time being.

And some lockdep_assert_held in all three?

Read on :(

The plan is for intel_context_enter/_exit to be under the
timeline->mutex, but that isn't realised for about another 30 patches.

mark_active has special protection because it gets used from the
serialised portion of intel_engine_park.

Ok, but bug on for zero active_count makes sense right? Maybe even intel_context_pin_active to signify that it can only act on an already active context?

Tvrtko
