drm: implement a method to free unused pages
On contiguous allocation, we round up the size to the *next* power of 2, implement a function to free the unused pages after the newly allocate block. v2(Matthew Auld): - replace function name 'drm_buddy_free_unused_pages' with drm_buddy_block_trim - replace input argument name 'actual_size' with 'new_size' - add more validation checks for input arguments - add overlaps check to avoid needless searching and splitting - merged the below patch to see the feature in action - add free unused pages support to i915 driver - lock drm_buddy_block_trim() function as it calls mark_free/mark_split are all globally visible v3(Matthew Auld): - remove trim method error handling as we address the failure case at drm_buddy_block_trim() function v4: - in case of trim, at __alloc_range() split_block failure path marks the block as free and removes it from the original list, potentially also freeing it, to overcome this problem, we turn the drm_buddy_block_trim() input node into a temporary node to prevent recursively freeing itself, but still retain the un-splitting/freeing of the other nodes(Matthew Auld) - modify the drm_buddy_block_trim() function return type v5(Matthew Auld): - revert drm_buddy_block_trim() function return type changes in v4 - modify drm_buddy_block_trim() passing argument n_pages to original_size as n_pages has already been rounded up to the next power-of-two and passing n_pages results noop v6: - fix warnings reported by kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> v7: - modify drm_buddy_block_trim() function doc description - at drm_buddy_block_trim() handle non-allocated block as a serious programmer error - fix a typo Signed-off-by: Arunpravin <Arunpravin.PaneerSelvam@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220221164552.2434-3-Arunpravin.PaneerSelvam@amd.comSigned-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com>
