The request->timeline is only valid until the request is retired (i.e.
before it is completed). Upon retiring the request, the context may be
unpinned and freed, and along with it the timeline may be freed. We
therefore need to be very careful when chasing rq->timeline that the
pointer does not disappear beneath us. The vast majority of users are in
a protected context, either during request construction or retirement,
where the timeline->mutex is held and the timeline cannot disappear. It
is those few off the beaten path (where we access a second timeline) that
need extra scrutiny -- to be added in the next patch after first adding
the warnings about dangerous access.

One complication, where we cannot use the timeline->mutex itself, is
during request submission onto hardware (under spinlocks). Here, we want
to check on the timeline to finalize the breadcrumb, and so we need to
impose a second rule to ensure that the request->timeline is indeed
valid. As we are submitting the request, it's context and timeline must
be pinned, as it will be used by the hardware. Since it is pinned, we
know the request->timeline must still be valid, and we cannot submit the
idle barrier until after we release the engine->active.lock, ergo while
submitting and holding that spinlock, a second thread cannot release the
timeline.

v2: Don't be lazy inside selftests; hold the timeline->mutex for as long
as we need it, and tidy up acquiring the timeline with a bit of
refactoring (i915_active_add_request)

How can it be NULL under the active lock? Isn't that the same assertion 
from i915_timeline_get_active.

Not NULL, but retired. The difference is that during submission we know
that this request's context/timeline must be currently pinned until
a subsequent request (containing the idle-barriers) is submitted. The
danger I worry about here is that subsequent idle request may be already
submitted and since the queued requests may *already* have been retired,
the timeline may be unpinned and indeed dropped it's last reference.

Yup, and immediately before a wait, that tasklet should be scheduled

But here it is under the engine->active.lock with interrupts disabled 
and the requests are fetched from execlists ports. Timeline is not 
guaranteed to be kept alive under these conditions? intel_context 
reference will be held until process_csb schedules it out so I'd expect 
timeline and hwsp to be there. But I could be lost in the new scheme of 
things.

I felt it was prudent to only rely on the active pin. You are right in
that we have a context reference if it is in active, and that context
holds a reference to the timeline. But... engine->active.lock is not
the lock that guards rq->timeline, so I feel uneasy on extending
i915_request_active_timeline() too far. Outside of the submission
pathway, inside a pretty printer, it feels safer (whatever changes may
come we don't have to worry about it) to not assume anything and just
use the failsafe rcu_dereference() + kref.

Well okay, I can accept that in the overall situation.
