drm/i915: Emphasize that ctx->id is merely a user handle
This is an Execlists preparatory patch, since they make context ID become an overloaded term: - In the software, it was used to distinguish which context userspace was trying to use. - In the BSpec, the term is used to describe the 20-bits long field the hardware uses to it to discriminate the contexts that are submitted to the ELSP and inform the driver about their current status (via Context Switch Interrupts and Context Status Buffers). Initially, I tried to make the different meanings converge, but it proved impossible: - The software ctx->id is per-filp, while the hardware one needs to be globally unique. - Also, we multiplex several backing states objects per intel_context, and all of them need unique HW IDs. - I tried adding a per-filp ID and then composing the HW context ID as: ctx->id + file_priv->id + ring->id, but the fact that the hardware only uses 20-bits means we have to artificially limit the number of filps or contexts the userspace can create. The ctx->user_handle renaming bits are done with this Cocci patch (plus manual frobbing of the struct declaration): @@ struct intel_context c; @@ - (c).id + c.user_handle @@ struct intel_context *c; @@ - (c)->id + c->user_handle Also, while we are at it, s/DEFAULT_CONTEXT_ID/DEFAULT_CONTEXT_HANDLE and change the type to unsigned 32 bits. v2: s/handle/user_handle and change the type to uint32_t as suggested by Chris Wilson.
