      Documentation/gpu: VM_BIND locking document · dad19630
      Thomas Hellström authored
      Add the first version of the VM_BIND locking document which is
      intended to be part of the xe driver upstreaming agreement.
      
      The document describes and discuss the locking used during exec-
      functions, evicton and for userptr gpu-vmas. Intention is to be using the
      same nomenclature as the drm-vm-bind-async.rst.
      
      v2:
      - s/gvm/gpu_vm/g (Rodrigo Vivi)
      - Clarify the userptr seqlock with a pointer to mm/mmu_notifier.c
        (Rodrigo Vivi)
      - Adjust commit message accordingly.
      - Add SPDX license header.
      
      v3:
      - Large update to align with the drm_gpuvm manager locking
      - Add "Efficient userptr gpu_vma exec function iteration" section
      - Add "Locking at bind- and unbind time" section.
      
      v4:
      - Fix tabs vs space errors by untabifying (Rodrigo Vivi)
      - Minor style fixes and typos (Rodrigo Vivi)
      - Clarify situations where stale GPU mappings are occurring and how
        access through these mappings are blocked. (Rodrigo Vivi)
      - Insert into the toctree in implementation_guidelines.rst
      
      v5:
      - Add a section about recoverable page-faults.
      - Use local references to other documentation where possible
        (Bagas Sanjaya)
      - General documentation fixes and typos (Danilo Krummrich and
        Boris Brezillon)
      - Improve the documentation around locks that need to be grabbed from the
        dm-fence critical section (Boris Brezillon)
      - Add more references to the DRM GPUVM helpers (Danilo Krummrich and
        Boriz Brezillon)
      - Update the rfc/xe.rst document.
      
      v6:
      - Rework wording to improve readability (Boris Brezillon, Rodrigo Vivi,
        Bagas Sanjaya)
      - Various minor fixes across the document (Boris Brezillon)
