The general concept was that intel_timeline.active_count was locked by the intel_timeline.mutex. The exception was for power management, where the engine->kernel_context->timeline could be manipulated under the global wakeref.mutex. This was quite solid, as we always manipulated the timeline only while we held an engine wakeref. And then we started retiring requests outside of struct_mutex, only using the timelines.active_list and the timeline->mutex. There we started manipulating intel_timeline.active_count outside of an engine wakeref, and so introduced a race between __engine_park() and intel_gt_retire_requests(), a race that could result in the engine->kernel_context not being added to the active timelines and so losing requests, which caused us to keep the system permanently powered up [and unloadable]. The race would be easy to close if we could take the engine wakeref for the timeline before we retire -- except timelines are not bound to any engine and so we would need to keep all active engines awake. The alternative is to guard intel_timeline_enter/intel_timeline_exit for use outside of the timeline->mutex.
