> We use the request pointer inside the i915_active_node as the indicator
> of the barrier's status; we mark it as used during
> i915_request_add_active_barriers(), and search for an available barrier
> in reuse_idle_barrier(). That check must be carefully serialised to
> ensure we do use an engine for the barrier and not just a random
> pointer. (Along the other reuse path, we are fully serialised by the
> timeline->mutex.) The acquisition of the barrier itself is ordered through
> the strong memory barrier in llist_del_all().
