If the user is racing a call to debugfs/i915_drop_caches with ongoing submission from another thread/process, we may never end up idling the GPU and be uninterruptibly spinning in debugfs/i915_drop_caches trying to catch an idle moment. Just flush the work once, that should be enough to park the system under correct conditions. Outside of those we either have a driver bug or the user is racing themselves. Sadly, because the user may be provoking the unwanted situation we can't put a warn here to attract attention to a probable bug.

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.
