In order to avoid some nasty mutex inversions, commit 09c5ab38
("drm/i915: Keep rings pinned while the context is active") allowed the
intel_ring unpinning to be run concurrently with the next context
pinning it. Thus each step in intel_ring_unpin() needed to be atomic and
ordered in a nice onion with intel_ring_pin() so that the lifetimes
overlapped and were always safe.

Sadly, a few steps in intel_ring_unpin() were overlooked, such as
closing the read/write pointers of the ring and discarding the
intel_ring.vaddr, as these steps were not serialised with
intel_ring_pin() and so could leave the ring in disarray.

History
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.
