drm/i915/gt: Replace direct submit with direct call to tasklet
Rather than having special case code for opportunistically calling process_csb() and performing a direct submit while holding the engine spinlock for submitting the request, simply call the tasklet directly. This allows us to retain the direct submission path, including the CS draining to allow fast/immediate submissions, without requiring any duplicated code paths, and most importantly greatly simplifying the control flow by removing reentrancy. This will enable us to close a few races in the virtual engines in the next few patches. The trickiest part here is to ensure that paired operations (such as schedule_in/schedule_out) remain under consistent locking domains, e.g. when pulled outside of the engine->active.lock v2: Use bh kicking, see commit 3c53776e ("Mark HI and TASKLET softirq synchronous"). v3: Update engine-reset to be tasklet aware Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20201224135544.1713-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
