      drm/i915: vma/ppgtt lifetime rules · b9d06dd9
      Michel Thierry authored
      VMAs should take a reference of the address space they use.
      
      Now, when the fd is closed, it will release the ref that the context was
      holding, but it will still be referenced by any vmas that are still
      active.
      
      ppgtt_release() should then only be called when the last thing referencing
      it releases the ref, and it can just call the base cleanup and free the
      ppgtt.
      
      Note that with this we will extend the lifetime of ppgtts which
      contain shared objects. But all the non-shared objects will get
      removed as soon as they drop of the active list and for the shared
      ones the shrinker can eventually reap them. Since we currently can't
      evict ppgtt pagetables either I don't think that temporary leak is
      important.
