Hi Tvrtko,
Commit ade8a0f59844 ("drm/i915: Make all GPU resets atomic") added a
preempt disable section over the hardware reset callback to prepare the
driver for being able to reset from atomic contexts.
In retrospect I can see that the work item at a time was about removing
the struct mutex from the reset path. Code base also briefly entertained
the idea of doing the reset under stop_machine in order to serialize
userspace mmap and temporary glitch in the fence registers (see
eb8d0f5af4ec ("drm/i915: Remove GPU reset dependence on struct_mutex"),
but that never materialized and was soon removed in 2caffbf11762
("drm/i915: Revoke mmaps and prevent access to fence registers across
reset") and replaced with a SRCU based solution.
As such, as far as I can see, today we still have a requirement that
resets must not sleep (invoked from submission tasklets), but no need to
support invoking them from a truly atomic context.
Given that the preemption section is problematic on RT kernels, since the
uncore lock becomes a sleeping lock and so is invalid in such section,
lets try and remove it. Potential downside is that our short waits on GPU
to complete the reset may get extended if CPU scheduling interferes, but
in practice that probably isn't a deal breaker.
In terms of mechanics, since the preemption disabled block is being
removed we just need to replace a few of the wait_for_atomic macros into
busy looping versions which will work (and not complain) when called from
non-atomic sections.
looks reasonable, few unrelated questions

Unrelated change but okay.
pci_write_config_byte(pdev, I915_GDRST, GRDOM_RESET_ENABLE);
udelay(50);
- err = wait_for_atomic(i915_in_reset(pdev), 50);
+ err = _wait_for_atomic(i915_in_reset(pdev), 50, 0);
wait_for_atomic() waits in milliseconds, while _wait_for_atomic()
waits in microseconds, I think you need to update the timer.
Ah.. well spotted!
Do you think we might need a wait_for_atomic_preempt() macro?
err = wait_for_atomic_preempt(i915_in_reset(pdev), 50);
I don't see what it would do? _wait_for_atomic when ATOMIC == 0 already
enables preemption. To allow passing in milliseconds? I fear one more
macro would create more confusion.

Just an FYI, but I happened to be looking at an internal bug report

It looks I failed to collect an r-b before the summer break and so it
fell off my radar. Definitely want to merge it so I will try again.
