drm/i915: Add soft-pinning API for execbuffer
Userspace can pass in an offset that it presumes the object is located at. The kernel will then do its utmost to fit the object into that location. The assumption is that userspace is handling its own object locations (for example along with full-ppgtt) and that the kernel will rarely have to make space for the user's requests. Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> v2: Fixed incorrect eviction found by Michal Winiarski - fix suggested by Chris Wilson. Fixed incorrect error paths causing crash found by Michal Winiarski. (Not published externally) v3: Rebased because of trivial conflict in object_bind_to_vm. Fixed eviction to allow eviction of soft-pinned objects when another soft-pinned object used by a subsequent execbuffer overlaps reported by Michal Winiarski. (Not published externally) v4: Moved soft-pinned objects to the front of ordered_vmas so that they are pinned first after an address conflict happens to avoid repeated conflicts in rare cases (Suggested by Chris Wilson). Expanded comment on drm_i915_gem_exec_object2.offset to cover this new API. v5: Added I915_PARAM_HAS_EXEC_SOFTPIN parameter for detecting this capability (Kristian). Added check for multiple pinnings on eviction (Akash). Made sure buffers are not considered misplaced without the user specifying EXEC_OBJECT_SUPPORTS_48B_ADDRESS. User must assume responsibility for any addressing workarounds. Updated object2.offset field comment again to clarify NO_RELOC case (Chris). checkpatch cleanup. v6: Trivial rebase on latest drm-intel-nightly v7: Catch attempts to pin above the max virtual address size and return EINVAL (Tvrtko). Decouple EXEC_OBJECT_SUPPORTS_48B_ADDRESS and EXEC_OBJECT_PINNED flags, user must pass both flags in any attempt to pin something at an offset above 4GB (Chris, Daniel Vetter).
