drm/i915: simplify shmem pwrite/pread slowpath handling
The shmem paths for pwrite/pread used a clever trick to hold onto a single page when dropping the big dev->struct_mutex for the slowpath. But this ran the risk of reinstating (or not completely purging) the backing storage when dropping purgeable objects. Hence the code needed to keep track of whether it ever dropped the lock, and if it did, manually check whether it needs to re-purge the backing storage. But thanks to the pages pin count introduced in commit a5570178 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Tue Sep 4 21:02:54 2012 +0100 drm/i915: Pin backing pages whilst exporting through a dmabuf vmap which allowed us to pin the backing storage and remove that page reference trick from shmem_pwrite/read in commit f60d7f0c Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Tue Sep 4 21:02:56 2012 +0100 drm/i915: Pin backing pages for pread and commit 755d2218 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Tue Sep 4 21:02:55 2012 +0100 drm/i915: Pin backing pages for pwrite we can now abolish this check. The slowpath cleanup completely disappears from pread, and for pwrite we're only left with the domain fixup in case someone moved the object out of the cpu domain from under us. A follow-on patch will optimize that a notch more. Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
