Chris Wilson 18afa28892 Revert "drm/i915: Skip execlists_dequeue() early if the list is empty" 
This reverts commit 6c943de668 ("drm/i915: Skip execlists_dequeue()
early if the list is empty").

The validity of using READ_ONCE there depends upon having a mb to
coordinate the assignment of engine->execlist_first inside
submit_request() and checking prior to taking the spinlock in
execlists_dequeue(). We wrote "the update to TASKLET_SCHED incurs a
memory barrier making this cross-cpu checking safe", but failed to
notice that this mb was *conditional* on the execlists being ready, i.e.
there wasn't the required mb when it was most necessary!

We could install an unconditional memory barrier to fixup the
READ_ONCE():

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_lrc.c
b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_lrc.c

+               smp_wmb();
                if (execlists_elsp_ready(engine))

But we have opted to remove the race as it should be rarely effective,
and saves us having to explain the necessary memory barriers which we
quite clearly failed at.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
