drm/i915: Revert async unpin and nonblocking atomic commit
This reverts the following patches: d55dbd06 drm/i915: Allow nonblocking update of pageflips. 15c86bdb drm/i915: Check for unpin correctness. 95c2ccdc Reapply "drm/i915: Avoid stalling on pending flips for legacy cursor updates" a6747b73 drm/i915: Make unpin async. 03f476e1 drm/i915: Prepare connectors for nonblocking checks. 2099deff drm/i915: Pass atomic states to fbc update functions. ee7171af drm/i915: Remove reset_counter from intel_crtc. 2ee004f7 drm/i915: Remove queue_flip pointer. b8d2afae drm/i915: Remove use_mmio_flip kernel parameter. 8dd634d9 drm/i915: Remove cs based page flip support. 143f73b3 drm/i915: Rework intel_crtc_page_flip to be almost atomic, v3. 84fc494b drm/i915: Add the exclusive fence to plane_state. 6885843a drm/i915: Convert flip_work to a list. aa420ddd drm/i915: Allow mmio updates on all platforms, v2. afee4d87 Revert "drm/i915: Avoid stalling on pending flips for legacy cursor updates" "drm/i915: Allow nonblocking update of pageflips" should have been split up, misses a proper commit message and seems to cause issues in the legacy page_flip path as demonstrated by kms_flip. "drm/i915: Make unpin async" doesn't handle the unthrottled cursor updates correctly, leading to an apparent pin count leak. This is caught by the WARN_ON in i915_gem_object_do_pin which screams if we have more than DRM_I915_GEM_OBJECT_MAX_PIN_COUNT pins. Unfortuantely we can't just revert these two because this patch series came with a built-in bisect breakage in the form of temporarily removing the unthrottled cursor update hack for legacy cursor ioctl. Therefore there's no other option than to revert the entire pile :( There's one tiny conflict in intel_drv.h due to other patches, nothing serious. Normally I'd wait a bit longer with doing a maintainer revert, but since the minimal set of patches we need to revert (due to the bisect breakage) is so big, time is running out fast. And very soon (especially after a few attempts at fixing issues) it'll be really hard to revert things cleanly. Lessons learned: - Not a good idea to rush the review (done by someone fairly new to the area) and not make sure domain experts had a chance to read it. - Patches should be properly split up. I only looked at the two patches that should be reverted in detail, but both look like the mix up different things in one patch. - Patches really should have proper commit messages. Especially when doing more than one thing, and especially when touching critical and tricky core code. - Building a patch series and r-b stamping it when it has a built-in bisect breakage is not a good idea. - I also think we need to stop building up technical debt by postponing atomic igt testcases even longer. I think it's clear that there's enough corner cases in this beast that we really need to have the testcases _before_ the next step lands.
