drm/i915: Fix i915_gem_evict_for_vma (soft-pinning)
Soft-pinning depends upon being able to check for availabilty of an interval and evict overlapping object from a drm_mm range manager very quickly. Currently it uses a linear list, and so performance is dire and not suitable as a general replacement. Worse, the current code will oops if it tries to evict an active buffer. It also helps if the routine reports the correct error codes as expected by its callers and emits a tracepoint upon use. For posterity since the wrong patch was pushed (i.e. that missed these key points and had known bugs), this is the changelog that should have been on commit 506a8e87 ("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. This extends the DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_EXECBUFFER2 to do the following: * if the user supplies a virtual address via the execobject->offset *and* sets the EXEC_OBJECT_PINNED flag in execobject->flags, then that object is placed at that offset in the address space selected by the context specifier in execbuffer. * the location must be aligned to the GTT page size, 4096 bytes * as the object is placed exactly as specified, it may be used by this execbuffer call without relocations pointing to it It may fail to do so if: * EINVAL is returned if the object does not have a 4096 byte aligned address * the object conflicts with another pinned object (either pinned by hardware in that address space, e.g. scanouts in the aliasing ppgtt) or within the same batch. EBUSY is returned if the location is pinned by hardware EINVAL is returned if the location is already in use by the batch * EINVAL is returned if the object conflicts with its own alignment (as meets the hardware requirements) or if the placement of the object does not fit within the address space All other execbuffer errors apply. Presence of this execbuf extension may be queried by passing I915_PARAM_HAS_EXEC_SOFTPIN to DRM_IOCTL_I915_GETPARAM and checking for a reported value of 1 (or greater). v2: Combine the hole/adjusted-hole ENOSPC checks v3: More color, more splitting, more blurb.
