Following 58b4c1a07ada ("drm/i915: Reduce nested prepare_remote_context()
to a trylock"), we punt to the caller if the local intel_context
happens to be busy as we try to rewrite the sseu (due to retiring in
another thread). As the interlude should be short, spin until the lock
is available.

The regret for using mutex_trylock() and not an atomic insertion of the
barrier is growing...

Hm I looked at the selftests, saw error is correctly propagated, and
concluded it will be fine. I missed the problem selftests will not
actually retry. But wait, can we even count that userspace will if all
of a sudden ctx.set_param starts returning -EAGAIN sporadically? Feels
like we may need to revert.

We invoke the principle of drmIoctl() catches -EAGAIN.

I'm not comfortable with that. :( Not least how we are saying not to use libdrm. man 2 ioctl does not mention -EAGAIN. :(

Regards,

Tvrtko
