One does not lightly add a new hidden struct_mutex dependency deep within the execbuf bowels! The immediate suspicion in seeing the whitelist cached on the context, is that it is intended to be preserved between batches, as the kernel is quite adept at caching small allocations itself. But no, it's sole purpose is to serialise command submission in order to save a kmalloc on a slow, slow path! By removing the whitelist dependency from the context, our freedom to chop the big struct_mutex is greatly augmented. v2: s/set_bit/__set_bit/ as the whitelist shall never be accessed concurrently.

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.
