Ville Syrjälä eda41bdc57 drm/i915: Put all non-blocking modesets onto an ordered wq
We have plenty of global registers and whatnot programmed without
any further locking by the modeset code. Currently non-bocking
modesets are allowed to execute in parallel which could corrupt
said registers.

To avoid the problem let's run all non-blocking modesets on an
ordered workqueue. We still put page flips etc. to system_unbound_wq
allowing page flips on one pipe to execute in parallel with page flips
or a modeset on a another pipe (assuming no known state is shared
between them, at which point they would have been added to the same
atomic commit and serialized that way).

Blocking modesets are already serialized with each other by
connection_mutex, and thus are safe. To serialize them with
non-blocking modesets we just flush the workqueue before executing
blocking modesets.

README

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.
