In order to avoid preempting ourselves, we currently refuse to schedule
the tasklet if we reschedule an inflight context. However, this glosses
over a few issues such as what happens after a CS completion event and
we then preempt the newly executing context with itself, or if something
else causes a tasklet_schedule triggering the same evaluation to
preempt the active context with itself.

To avoid the extra complications, after deciding that we have
potentially queued a request with higher priority than the currently
executing request, inspect the head of the queue to see if it is indeed
higher priority from another context.

Why would there be no more requests belonging to the same context on the engine timeline after the first one? Did you mean "if (rq->hw_context == ctx) continue;" ?

This isn't equivalent to top of the queue priority (engine->execlists.queue_priority)? Apart from the different ctx check. So I guess it is easier than storing new engine->execlists.queue_top_ctx and wondering about the validity of that pointer.
