Introduce the concept of padding the i915_vma with guard pages before and after. The major consequence is that all ordinary uses of i915_vma must use i915_vma_offset/i915_vma_size and not i915_vma.node.start/size directly, as the drm_mm_node will include the guard pages that surround our object. The biggest connundrum is how exactly to mix requesting a fixed address with guard pages, particularly through the existing uABI. The user does not know about guard pages, so such must be transparent to the user, and so the execobj.offset must be that of the object itself excluding the guard. So a PIN_OFFSET_FIXED must then be exclusive of the guard pages. The caveat is that some placements will be impossible with guard pages, as wrap arounds need to be avoided, and the vma itself will require a larger node. We must not report EINVAL but ENOSPC as these are unavailable locations within the GTT rather than conflicting user requirements. In the next patch, we start using guard pages for scanout objects. While these are limited to GGTT vma, on a few platforms these vma (or at least an alias of the vma) is shared with userspace, so we may leak the existence of such guards if we are not careful to ensure that the execobj.offset is transparent and excludes the guards. (On such platforms like ivb, without full-ppgtt, userspace has to use relocations so the presence of more untouchable regions within its GTT such be of no further issue.)
