 /**
  * DOC: GuC-based command submission
  *
- * IMPORTANT NOTE: GuC submission is currently not supported in i915. The GuC
- * firmware is moving to an updated submission interface and we plan to
- * turn submission back on when that lands. The below documentation (and related
- * code) matches the old submission model and will be updated as part of the
- * upgrade to the new flow.
- *
- * GuC stage descriptor:
- * During initialization, the driver allocates a static pool of 1024 such
- * descriptors, and shares them with the GuC. Currently, we only use one
- * descriptor. This stage descriptor lets the GuC know about the workqueue and
- * process descriptor. Theoretically, it also lets the GuC know about our HW
- * contexts (context ID, etc...), but we actually employ a kind of submission
- * where the GuC uses the LRCA sent via the work item instead. This is called
- * a "proxy" submission.
- *
  * The Scratch registers:
  * There are 16 MMIO-based registers start from 0xC180. The kernel driver writes
  * a value to the action register (SOFT_SCRATCH_0) along with any data. It then

  * processes the request. The kernel driver polls waiting for this update and
  * then proceeds.
  *
- * Work Items:
- * There are several types of work items that the host may place into a
- * workqueue, each with its own requirements and limitations. Currently only
- * WQ_TYPE_INORDER is needed to support legacy submission via GuC, which
- * represents in-order queue. The kernel driver packs ring tail pointer and an
- * ELSP context descriptor dword into Work Item.
- * See guc_add_request()
+ * Command Transport buffers (CTBs):
+ * Covered in detail in other sections but CTBs (host-to-guc, H2G, guc-to-host
+ * G2H) are a message interface between the i915 and GuC used to controls
+ * submissions.
+ *
+ * Context registration:
+ * Before a context can be submitted it must be registered with the GuC via a
+ * H2G. A unique guc_id is associated with each context. The context is either
+ * registered at request creation time (normal operation) or at submission time
+ * (abnormal operation, e.g. after a reset).
+ *
+ * Context submission:
+ * The i915 updates the LRC tail value in memory. Either a schedule enable H2G
+ * or context submit H2G is used to submit a context.
+ *
+ * Context unpin:
+ * To unpin a context a H2G is used to disable scheduling and when the
+ * corresponding G2H returns indicating the scheduling disable operation has
+ * completed it is safe to unpin the context. While a disable is in flight it
+ * isn't safe to resubmit the context so a fence is used to stall all future
+ * requests until the G2H is returned.
+ *
+ * Context deregistration:
+ * Before a context can be destroyed or we steal its guc_id we must deregister
+ * the context with the GuC via H2G. If stealing the guc_id it isn't safe to
+ * submit anything to this guc_id until the deregister completes so a fence is
+ * used to stall all requests associated with this guc_ids until the
+ * corresponding G2H returns indicating the guc_id has been deregistered.
+ *
+ * guc_ids:
+ * Unique number associated with private GuC context data passed in during
+ * context registration / submission / deregistration. 64k available. Simple ida
+ * is used for allocation.
+ *
+ * Stealing guc_ids:
+ * If no guc_ids are available they can be stolen from another context at
+ * request creation time if that context is unpinned. If a guc_id can't be found
+ * we punt this problem to the user as we believe this is near impossible to hit
+ * during normal use cases.
+ *
+ * Locking:
+ * In the GuC submission code we have 3 basic spin locks which protect
+ * everything. Details about each below.
+ *
+ * sched_engine->lock
+ * This is the submission lock for all contexts that share a i915 schedule
+ * engine (sched_engine), thus only 1 context which share a sched_engine can be
+ * submitting at a time. Currently only 1 sched_engine used for all of GuC
+ * submission but that could change in the future.
+ *
+ * guc->contexts_lock
+ * Protects guc_id allocation. Global lock i.e. Only 1 context that uses GuC
+ * submission can hold this at a time.
+ *
+ * ce->guc_state.lock
+ * Protects everything under ce->guc_state. Ensures that a context is in the
+ * correct state before issuing a H2G. e.g. We don't issue a schedule disable
+ * on disabled context (bad idea), we don't issue schedule enable when a
+ * schedule disable is inflight, etc... Also protects list of inflight requests
+ * on the context and the priority management state. Lock individual to each
+ * context.
+ *
+ * Lock ordering rules:
+ * sched_engine->lock -> ce->guc_state.lock
+ * guc->contexts_lock -> ce->guc_state.lock
  *
+ * Reset races:
+ * When a GPU full reset is triggered it is assumed that some G2H responses to
+ * a H2G can be lost as the GuC is likely toast. Losing these G2H can prove to
+ * fatal as we do certain operations upon receiving a G2H (e.g. destroy
+ * contexts, release guc_ids, etc...). Luckly when this occurs we can scrub
+ * context state and cleanup appropriately, however this is quite racey. To
+ * avoid races the rules are check for submission being disabled (i.e. check for
+ * mid reset) with the appropriate lock being held. If submission is disabled
+ * don't send the H2G or update the context state. The reset code must disable
+ * submission and grab all these locks before scrubbing for the missing G2H.
