[PATCH v6 14/25] drm/i915: Manually unwind after a failed request allocation

Chris Wilson
2016-04-26T20:06:50Z

In the next patches, we want to move the work out of freeing the request
and into its retirement (so that we can free the request without
requiring the struct_mutex). This means that we cannot rely on
unreferencing the request to completely teardown the request any more
and so we need to manually unwind the failed allocation. In doing so, we
reorder the allocation in order to make the unwind simple (and ensure
that we don't try to unwind a partial request that may have modified
global state) and so we end up pushing the initial preallocation down
into the engine request initialisation functions where we have the
requisite control over the state of the request.

Moving the initial preallocation into the engine is less than ideal: it
moves logic to handle a specific problem with request handling out of
the common code. On the other hand, it does allow those backends
significantly more flexibility in performing its allocations.
