drm/i915: Preallocate next seqno before touching the ring
Based on the work by Mika Kuoppala, we realised that we need to handle
seqno wraparound prior to committing our changes to the ring. The most
obvious point then is to grab the seqno inside intel_ring_begin(), and
then to reuse that seqno for all ring operations until the next request.
As intel_ring_begin() can fail, the callers must already be prepared to
handle such failure and so we can safely add further checks.
This patch looks like it should be split up into the interface
changes and the tweaks to move seqno wrapping from the execbuffer into
the core seqno increment. However, I found no easy way to break it into
incremental steps without introducing further broken behaviour.
v2: Mika found a silly mistake and a subtle error in the existing code;
inside i915_gem_retire_requests() we were resetting the sync_seqno of
the target ring based on the seqno from this ring - which are only
related by the order of their allocation, not retirement. Hence we were
applying the optimisation that the rings were synchronised too early,
fortunately the only real casualty there is the handling of seqno
wrapping.
v3: Do not forget to reset the sync_seqno upon module reinitialisation,
ala resume.
