    drm/i915: Use vma resources for async unbinding · 2f6b90da
    Thomas Hellström authored
    Implement async (non-blocking) unbinding by not syncing the vma before
    calling unbind on the vma_resource.
    Add the resulting unbind fence to the object's dma_resv from where it is
    picked up by the ttm migration code.
    Ideally these unbind fences should be coalesced with the migration blit
    fence to avoid stalling the migration blit waiting for unbind, as they
    can certainly go on in parallel, but since we don't yet have a
    reasonable data structure to use to coalesce fences and attach the
    resulting fence to a timeline, we defer that for now.
    
    Note that with async unbinding, even while the unbind waits for the
    preceding bind to complete before unbinding, the vma itself might have been
    destroyed in the process, clearing the vma pages. Therefore we can
    only allow async unbinding if we have a refcounted sg-list and keep a
    refcount on that for the vma resource pages to stay intact until
    binding occurs. If this condition is not met, a request for an async
    unbind is diverted to a sync unbind.
    
    v2:
    - Use a separate kmem_cache for vma resources for now to isolate their
      memory allocation and aid debugging.
    - Move the check for vm closed to the actual unbinding thread. Regardless
      of whether the vm is closed, we need the unbind fence to properly wait
      for capture.
    - Clear vma_res::vm on unbind and update its documentation.
    v4:
    - Take cache coloring into account when searching for vma resources
      pending unbind. (Matthew Auld)
    v5:
    - Fix timeout and error check in i915_vma_resource_bind_dep_await().
    - Avoid taking a reference on the object for async binding if
      async unbind capable.
    - Fix braces around a single-line if statement.
    v6:
    - Fix up the cache coloring adjustment. (Kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>)
    - Don't allow async unbinding if the vma_res pages are not the same as
      the object pages. (Matthew Auld)
    v7:
    - s/unsigned long/u64/ in a number of places (Matthew Auld)
