Chris Wilson 81c0ed21aa drm/i915/fence: Avoid del_timer_sync() from inside a timer
A fence may be signaled from any context, including from inside a timer.
One example is timer_i915_sw_fence_wake() which is used to provide a
safety-net when waiting on an external fence. If the external fence is
not signaled within a timely fashion, we signal our fence on its behalf,
and so we then may process subsequent fences in the chain from within
that timer context.

Given that dma_i915_sw_fence_wake() may be from inside a timer, we cannot
then use del_timer_sync() as that requires the timer lock for itself. To
circumvent this, while trying to keep the signal propagation as low
latency as possible, move the completion into a worker and use a bit of
atomic switheroo to serialise the timer-callback and the dma-callback.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
