The second try at staging the transfer of the breadcrumb. In part one,
we realised we could not simply move to the second engine as we were
only holding the breadcrumb lock on the first. So in commit 6c81e21a4742
("drm/i915/gt: Stage the transfer of the virtual breadcrumb"), we
removed it from the first engine and marked up this request to reattach
the signaling on the new engine. However, this failed to take into
account that we only attach the breadcrumb if the new request is added
at the start of the queue, which if we are transferring, it is because
we know there to be a request to be signaled (and hence we would not be
attached).

In this attempt, we try to transfer the completed requests to the
irq_worker on its rq->engine->breadcrumbs. This preserves the coupling
between the rq and its breadcrumbs, so that
i915_request_cancel_breadcrumb() does not attempt to manipulate the list
under the wrong lock.

Do you remember why the breadcrumbs code uses local __request_completed
helper?

It knows the hwsp isn't going to disappear, we know the same here, just
this code was first written in intel_lrc.c

Fwiw, the rcu_read_lock() we have in i915_request_completed() is one of
our worst lockdep hotspots

  From here vvv

^^^ to here looks like a block which could be shared with signal_irq_work.

And not even a suggestion of a function name.

I expected you'd say it's not worth the hassle so I did not bother. :)

Hm because list_add and not list_move you can't assert all have been
unlinked.

Which is the point, we don't want to have to repeatedly do the same
unlinks when we can do them en masse.

I know but being sure of the state would be reassuring. There is one skip in the loop before list_add_tail.

This comments feels a bit out of place now.

It's still true, just phrasing is hard.

-     spin_unlock(&old->breadcrumbs.irq_lock);
+     intel_engine_transfer_breadcrumbs(ve->siblings[0], &ve->context);

But isn't ve->siblings[0] the old engine at this point so new target
engine would have to be explicitly passed in?

ve->siblings[0] is the old engine, which is holding the completed
requests and their signals. Since their rq->engine == ve->siblings[0]
and we can't update rq->engine as we can't take the required locks, we
need to keep the breadcrumbs relative to ve->siblings[0] and not the new
engine (the i915_request_cancel_breadcrumb conundrum).

Who then enables breadcrumbs on the new engine?

Tvrtko
