+ * We treat requests as fences. This is not be to confused with our

+ * We use the fences to synchronize access from the CPU with activity on the
+ * GPU, for example, we should not rewrite an object's PTE whilst the GPU
+ * is reading them. We also track fences at a higher level to provide
+ * implicit synchronisation around GEM objects, e.g. set-domain will wait
+ * for outstanding GPU rendering before marking the object ready for CPU
+ * access, or a pageflip will wait until the GPU is complete before showing
+ * the frame on the scanout.
+ *
+ * In order to use a fence, the object must track the fence it needs to
+ * serialise with. For example, GEM objects want to track both read and
+ * write access so that we can perform concurrent read operations between
+ * the CPU and GPU engines, as well as waiting for all rendering to
+ * complete, or waiting for the last GPU user of a "fence register". The
+ * object then embeds a #i915_active_request to track the most recent (in
+ * retirement order) request relevant for the desired mode of access.
+ * The #i915_active_request is updated with i915_active_request_set() to
+ * track the most recent fence request, typically this is done as part of
+ * i915_vma_move_to_active().
+ *
+ * When the #i915_active_request completes (is retired), it will
+ * signal its completion to the owner through a callback as well as mark

+ * Performing a lockless retrieval of the active request is super
+ * tricky. SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU merely guarantees that the backing
+ * slab of request objects will not be freed whilst we hold the
+ * RCU read lock. It does not guarantee that the request itself
+ * will not be freed and then *reused*. Viz,
+ *
+ * Thread A Thread B
+ *
+ * rq = active.request
+ * retire(rq) -> free(rq);
+ * (rq is now first on the slab freelist)
+ * active.request = NULL
+ *
+ * rq = new submission on a new object
+ * ref(rq)
+ *
+ * To prevent the request from being reused whilst the caller
+ * uses it, we take a reference like normal. Whilst acquiring
+ * the reference we check that it is not in a destroyed state
+ * (refcnt == 0). That prevents the request being reallocated
+ * whilst the caller holds on to it. To check that the request
+ * was not reallocated as we acquired the reference we have to
+ * check that our request remains the active request across
+ * the lookup, in the same manner as a seqlock. The visibility
+ * of the pointer versus the reference counting is controlled
+ * by using RCU barriers (rcu_dereference and rcu_assign_pointer).
+ *
+ * In the middle of all that, we inspect whether the request is
+ * complete. Retiring is lazy so the request may be completed long
+ * before the active tracker is updated. Querying whether the
+ * request is complete is far cheaper (as it involves no locked
+ * instructions setting cachelines to exclusive) than acquiring
+ * the reference, so we do it first. The RCU read lock ensures the
+ * pointer dereference is valid, but does not ensure that the
+ * seqno nor HWS is the right one! However, if the request was
+ * reallocated, that means the active tracker's request was complete.
+ * If the new request is also complete, then both are and we can
+ * just report the active tracker is idle. If the new request is
+ * incomplete, then we acquire a reference on it and check that
+ * it remained the active request.
+ *
+ * It is then imperative that we do not zero the request on
+ * reallocation, so that we can chase the dangling pointers!
+ * See i915_request_alloc().
