    drm/i915: ban badly behaving contexts · be62acb4
    Mika Kuoppala authored
    Now when we have mechanism in place to track which context
    was guilty of hanging the gpu, it is possible to punish
    for bad behaviour.
    
    If context has recently submitted a faulty batchbuffers guilty of
    gpu hang and submits another batch which hangs gpu in quick
    succession, ban it permanently. If ctx is banned, no more
    batchbuffers will be queued for execution.
    
    There is no need for global wedge machinery anymore and
    it would be unwise to wedge the whole gpu if we have multiple
    hanging batches queued for execution. Instead just ban
    the guilty ones and carry on.
    
    v2: Store guilty ban status bool in gpu_error instead of pointers
        that might become danling before hang is declared.
    
    v3: Use return value for banned status instead of stashing state
        into gpu_error (Chris Wilson)
    
    v4: - rebase on top of fixed hang stats api
        - add define for ban period
        - rename commit and improve commit msg
    
    v5: - rely context banning instead of wedging the gpu
        - beautification and fix for ban calculation (Chris)
