    drm/i915: Hide unshrinkable context objects from the shrinker · 1aff1903
    Chris Wilson authored
    The shrinker cannot touch objects used by the contexts (logical state
    and ring). Currently we mark those as "pin_global" to let the shrinker
    skip over them, however, if we remove them from the shrinker lists
    entirely, we don't event have to include them in our shrink accounting.
    
    By keeping the unshrinkable objects in our shrinker tracking, we report
    a large number of objects available to be shrunk, and leave the shrinker
    deeply unsatisfied when we fail to reclaim those. The shrinker will
    persist in trying to reclaim the unavailable objects, forcing the system
    into a livelock (not even hitting the dread oomkiller).
    
    v2: Extend unshrinkable protection for perma-pinned scratch and guc
    allocations (Tvrtko)
    v3: Notice that we should be pinned when marking unshrinkable and so the
    link cannot be empty; merge duplicate paths.
