drm/radeon: add userptr support v8
This patch adds an IOCTL for turning a pointer supplied by userspace into a buffer object. It imposes several restrictions upon the memory being mapped: 1. It must be page aligned (both start/end addresses, i.e ptr and size). 2. It must be normal system memory, not a pointer into another map of IO space (e.g. it must not be a GTT mmapping of another object). 3. The BO is mapped into GTT, so the maximum amount of memory mapped at all times is still the GTT limit. 4. The BO is only mapped readonly for now, so no write support. 5. List of backing pages is only acquired once, so they represent a snapshot of the first use. Exporting and sharing as well as mapping of buffer objects created by this function is forbidden and results in an -EPERM. v2: squash all previous changes into first public version v3: fix tabs, map readonly, don't use MM callback any more v4: set TTM_PAGE_FLAG_SG so that TTM never messes with the pages, pin/unpin pages on bind/unbind instead of populate/unpopulate v5: rebased on 3.17-wip, IOCTL renamed to userptr, reject any unknown flags, better handle READONLY flag, improve permission check v6: fix ptr cast warning, use set_page_dirty/mark_page_accessed on unpin v7: add warning about it's availability in the API definition v8: drop access_ok check, fix VM mapping bits Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> (v4) Reviewed-by: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> (v4) Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
