drm/gpuvm: track/lock/validate external/evicted objects
Currently the DRM GPUVM offers common infrastructure to track GPU VA allocations and mappings, generically connect GPU VA mappings to their backing buffers and perform more complex mapping operations on the GPU VA space. However, there are more design patterns commonly used by drivers, which can potentially be generalized in order to make the DRM GPUVM represent a basis for GPU-VM implementations. In this context, this patch aims at generalizing the following elements. 1) Provide a common dma-resv for GEM objects not being used outside of this GPU-VM. 2) Provide tracking of external GEM objects (GEM objects which are shared with other GPU-VMs). 3) Provide functions to efficiently lock all GEM objects dma-resv the GPU-VM contains mappings of. 4) Provide tracking of evicted GEM objects the GPU-VM contains mappings of, such that validation of evicted GEM objects is accelerated. 5) Provide some convinience functions for common patterns. Big thanks to Boris Brezillon for his help to figure out locking for drivers updating the GPU VA space within the fence signalling path.
