Subject: [ 02/42] drm/i915: Reset last_retired_head when resetting ring

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>

commit c3b20037926e607b6cdaecbf9d3103e2ca63bc31 upstream.

When we reset the ring control registers, including the HEAD and TAIL of
the ring, we also need to reset associated state. In this instance, we
were failing to reset the cached value of ring->last_retired_head and so
upon the first request for more space following a resume would
potentially (depending on a narrow race window) believe that the HEAD had
advanced much further than reality.

This is a regression from:

    drm/i915: Record the tail at each request and use it to estimate the head
