mainlining shenanigans
b7408a0673
[Why] There's a data race that can occur between when we update the inbox write pointer vs when the memory for the command actually gets flushed from the map to the framebuffer. DMCUB can read stale or partially invalid data when this race occurs. [How] Before updating the write pointer we can read back all pending commands to ensure that we stall for the writes to be flushed to framebuffer. We don't need to worry about choosing HDP vs VM flush with this mechanism. Drop the dmub_srv_cmd_submit() while we're updating this to work correctly since nothing was actually using this API and the caller should be explicit about the API flow here - by doing this on execute we can give some extra time for the flush to finish while preparing other commands. We should try to avoid writing single commands because of this overhead.

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.
