Commit message is missing the absolutely crucial detail about which patch

     drm/i915: Subsume intel_ctx_submit_request in to drm_i915_gem_request

Another thing I've noticed is that we explicitly drop the context
reference for the request before dropping the request reference. Without
clearing the req->ctx pointer. That has a very high chance to leading to
tears, imo the context unreferenceing should be pushed into
i915_gem_request_free.

Except that it's there already, which means we have a double unref now?

Looking at the code, it looks like that's the case.


Also this patch is for the legacy ringbuffer code, but the referenced bug
is for gen8+ execlists. We're definitely not running this code here I
think.

i915_gem_reset_ring_cleanup is used in execlists in the hang recovery case.


Imo step one is to drop all the explicit ctx refcounting for req->ctx and
always rely on the implicit reference. Then see what happens.

I agree that the refcounting needs re-evaluating after the merge of execlist queue entries & requests, however I think the cleanup of the double unref/removing the refcounting should be done in another patchset. This patch is purely to fix the issue raised in 88652. Depends on the relative priorities.


Cheers, Daniel
