During request construction, we take the timeline->mutex to ensure exclusive access to the ringbuffer (for command emission) and the timeline itself (for command ordering). The timeline->mutex should not be dropped by callers until we release it in i915_request_add(). lockdep provides a pin/unpin lock facility to detect accidental unlocks inside critical sections, so put it to use for request construction.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
