drm/i915: abolish separate per-ring default_context pointers
Now that we've eliminated a lot of uses of ring->default_context, we can eliminate the pointer itself. All the engines share the same default intel_context, so we can just keep a single reference to it in the dev_priv structure rather than one in each of the engine[] elements. This make refcounting more sensible too, as we now have a refcount of one for the one pointer, rather than a refcount of one but multiple pointers. From an idea by Chris Wilson. v2: transform an extra instance of ring->default_context introduced by 42f1cae8 drm/i915: Restore inhibiting the load of the default context That patch's commentary includes: v2: Mark the global default context as uninitialized on GPU reset so that the context-local workarounds are reloaded upon re-enabling The code implementing that now also benefits from the replacement of the multiple (per-ring) pointers to the default context with a single pointer to the unique kernel context. v4: Rebased, remove underused local (Nick Hoath) Signed-off-by: Dave Gordon <david.s.gordon@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Nick Hoath <nicholas.hoath@intel.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1453230175-19330-3-git-send-email-david.s.gordon@intel.comSigned-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
