From 891b48cfc8659be486c70a03ad815f9a2485ee58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2010 12:26:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Avoid blocking the kworker thread on a stuck mutex Just reschedule the retire requests again if the device is currently busy. The request list will be pruned along other paths so will never grow unbounded and so we can afford to miss the occasional pruning.
