drm/i915/gem: Don't allow changing the VM on running contexts (v4)
When the APIs were added to manage VMs more directly from userspace, the questionable choice was made to allow changing out the VM on a context at any time. This is horribly racy and there's absolutely no reason why any userspace would want to do this outside of testing that exact race. By removing support for CONTEXT_PARAM_VM from ctx_setparam, we make it impossible to change out the VM after the context has been fully created. This lets us delete a bunch of deferred task code as well as a duplicated (and slightly different) copy of the code which programs the PPGTT registers. v2 (Jason Ekstrand): - Expand the commit message v3 (Daniel Vetter): - Don't drop the __rcu on the vm pointer v4 (Jason Ekstrand): - Make it more obvious that I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_VM returns -EINVAL Signed-off-by: Jason Ekstrand <jason@jlekstrand.net> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210708154835.528166-26-jason@jlekstrand.net
