I worry that offset need not be cacheline aligned on entry (for example
if indirectctx and perctx were switched, or someone else stuffed more
controls into the per-ring object). Like perctx, there is no mention of
any alignment worries for the starting location, but here you tell use
that the INDIRECT_CTX length is specified in cacheline, so I also presume
the start needs to be aligned.

offset need to be cachealigned, I will update the comments.

One day _pin() will return the vma being pinned and I will rejoice as it
makes reviewing pinning much easier! Not a problem for you right now.

I haven't found the dependence upon scratch.obj, could you explain it?
Does it appear later?

yes it does in patch 2 which rearranges init_pipe_control().
I will move this check to that patch as per your comment.

Ok, this really does impose alignment conditions on indctx_batch_offset

Oh, if I do get a chance to complain, spell out indirect_ctx, make it a
struct or even just precalculate the reg value, just indctx's only value
is that is the same length as perctx, but otherwise quite obtuse.

variable names were getting too long and caused difficulties in indentation so tried to shorten them, will change this part.

Arun

Other than that, I couldn't punch any holes in its robustness, and the
series is starting to look quite good and very neat.
