drm/i915/gtt: Replace struct_mutex serialisation for allocation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Instead of relying on the caller holding struct_mutex across the
allocation, push the allocation under a tree of spinlocks stored inside
the page tables. Not only should this allow us to avoid struct_mutex
here, but it will allow multiple users to lock independent ranges for
concurrent allocations, and operate independently. This is vital for
pushing the GTT manipulation into a background thread where dependency
on struct_mutex is verboten, and for allowing other callers to avoid
struct_mutex altogether.

v2: Restore lost GEM_BUG_ON for removing too many PTE from
gen6_ppgtt_clear_range.
