Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

During a reset, we may skip over completed requests and lost context-switch interrupts. Following the reset, we may then may end up with no active requests in the ELSP (and so do not resubmit to restart the engine), but have a queue of requests ready for execution. This is unlikely, it requires the last request to complete after the hang is detected, but not impossible. The outcome of this is that the engine stalls, possibly leading to full ring and indefinite wait under struct_mutex, eventually leading to a full driver hang. Alternatively, we can solve this by unsubmitting the incomplete requests and just kickstarting the tasklet. Michał has patches for that, which I initially disliked due to the extra complexity, but the complexity of this "simple" restart is growing...
