Chris Wilson 36fe164d8d drm/i915/gt: Carefully order virtual_submission_tasklet
During the virtual engine's submission tasklet, we take the request and
insert into the submission queue on each of our siblings. This seems
quite simply, and so no problems with ordering. However, the sibling
execlists' submission tasklets may run concurrently with the virtual
engine's tasklet, submitting the request to HW before the virtual
finishes its task of telling all the siblings. If this happens, the
sibling tasklet may *reorder* the ve->sibling[] array that the virtual
engine tasklet is processing. This can *only* reorder within the
elements already processed by the virtual engine, nevertheless the
race is detected by KCSAN:

We can prevent this race by checking for the ve->request after looking
up the sibling array.

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.
