In order to avoid confusing the HW, we must never submit an empty ring
during lite-restore, that is we should always advance the RING_TAIL
before submitting to stay ahead of the RING_HEAD.
Normally this is prevented by keeping a couple of spare NOPs in the
request->wa_tail so that on resubmission we can advance the tail. This
relies on the request only being resubmitted once, which is the normal
condition as it is seen once for ELSP[1] and then later in ELSP[0]. On
preemption, the requests are unwound and the tail reset back to the
normal end point (as we know the request is incomplete and therefore its
RING_HEAD is even earlier).
However, if this w/a should fail we would try and resubmit the request
with the RING_TAIL already set to the location of this request's wa_tail
potentially causing a GPU hang. We can spot when we do try and
incorrectly resubmit without advancing the RING_TAIL and spare any
embarrassment by forcing the context restore.
In the case of preempt-to-busy, we leave the requests running on the HW
while we unwind. As the ring is still live, we cannot rewind our
rq->tail without forcing a reload so leave it set to rq->wa_tail and
only force a reload if we resubmit after a lite-restore. (Normally, the
forced reload will be a part of the preemption event.)
