Userspace may leave predication enabled upon return from the batch buffer, which has the consequent of preventing all operation from the ring from being executed, including all the synchronisation, coherency control, arbitration and user signaling. This is more than just a local gpu hang in one client, as the user has the ability to prevent the kernel from applying critical workarounds and can cause a full GT reset. We could simply execute MI_SET_PREDICATE upon return from the user batch, but this has the repercussion of modifying the user's context state. Instead, we opt to execute a fixup batch which by mixing predicated operations can determine the state of the SET_PREDICATE_RESULT register and restore it prior to the next userspace batch. This allows us to protect the kernel's ring without changing the uABI.

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.
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.
