Chris Wilson 0b1570b7ff drm/i915: Protect i915_request_await_start from early waits
We need to be extremely careful inside i915_request_await_start() as it
needs to walk the list of requests in the foreign timeline with very
little protection. As we hold our own timeline mutex, we can not nest
inside the signaler's timeline mutex, so all that remains is our RCU
protection. However, to be safe we need to tell the compiler that we may
be traversing the list only under RCU protection, and furthermore we
need to start declaring requests as elements of the timeline from their
construction.

Fixes: 9ddc8ec027 ("drm/i915: Eliminate the trylock for awaiting an earlier request")
Fixes: 6a79d84840 ("drm/i915: Lock signaler timeline while navigating")

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.
