Chris Wilson fe0c493538 drm/i915/execlists: Handle copying default context state for atomic reset
We want to be able to reset the GPU from inside a timer callback
(hardirq context). One step requires us to copy the default context
state over to the guilty context, which means we need to plan in advance
to have that object accessible from within an atomic context. The atomic
context prevents us from pinning the object or from peeking into the
shmemfs backing store (all may sleep), so we choose to pin the
default_state into memory when the engine becomes active. This
compromise allows us to swap out the default state when idle, when
required.

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
