drm/i915/guc: Clean up locks in GuC
For now, remove the spinlocks that protected the GuC's statistics block and work queue; they are only accessed by code that already holds the global struct_mutex, and so are redundant (until the big struct_mutex rewrite!). The specific problem that the spinlocks caused was that if the work queue was full, the driver would try to spinwait for one jiffy, but with interrupts disabled the jiffy count would not advance, leading to a system hang. The issue was found using test case igt/gem_close_race. The new version will usleep() instead, still holding the struct_mutex but without any spinlocks. v4: Reorganize commit message (Dave Gordon) v3: Remove unnecessary whitespace churn v2: Clean up wq_lock too v1: Clean up host2guc lock as well Signed-off-by: Alex Dai <yu.dai@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Dave Gordon <david.s.gordon@intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1449104189-27591-1-git-send-email-yu.dai@intel.comSigned-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
