If we issue a reset to a currently idle engine, leave it idle afterwards. This is useful to excise a linkage between reset and the shrinker. When waking the engine, we need to pin the default context image which we use for overwriting a guilty context -- if the engine is idle we do not need this pinned image! However, this pinning means that waking the engine acquires the FS_RECLAIM, and so may trigger the shrinker. The shrinker itself may need to wait upon the GPU to unbind and object and so may require services of reset; ergo we should avoid the engine wake up path. The danger in skipping the recovery for idle engines is that we leave the engine with no context defined, which may interfere with the operation of the power context on some older platforms. In practice, we should only be resetting an active GPU but it something to look out for on Ironlake (if memory serves). Fixes: |

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.
