In commita79ca656b6("drm/i915: Push the wakeref->count deferral to the backend"), I erroneously concluded that we last modify the engine inside __i915_request_commit() meaning that we could enable concurrent submission for userspace as we enqueued this request. However, this falls into a trap with other users of the engine->kernel_context waking up and submitting their request before the idle-switch is queued, with the result that the kernel_context is executed out-of-sequence most likely upsetting the GPU and certainly ourselves when we try to retire the out-of-sequence requests. As such we need to hold onto the effective engine->kernel_context mutex lock (via the engine pm mutex proxy) until we have finish queuing the request to the engine. v2: Serialise against concurrent intel_gt_retire_requests() v3: Describe the hairy locking scheme with intel_gt_retire_requests() for future reference. v4: Combine timeline->lock and engine pm release; it's hairy.

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.
