[PATCH 42/43] drm/i915/bdw: Pin the context backing objects to GGTT on-demand

Thomas Daniel
2014-07-24T16:05:35Z

From: Oscar Mateo <oscar.mateo@intel.com>

Up until now, we have pinned every logical ring context backing object
during creation, and left it pinned until destruction. This made my life
easier, but it's a harmful thing to do, because we cause fragmentation
of the GGTT (and, eventually, we would run out of space).

This patch makes the pinning on-demand: the backing objects of the two
contexts that are written to the ELSP are pinned right before submission
and unpinned once the hardware is done with them. The only context that
is still pinned regardless is the global default one, so that the HWS can
still be accessed in the same way (ring->status_page).

v2: In the early version of this patch, we were pinning the context as
we put it into the ELSP: on the one hand, this is very efficient because
only a maximum two contexts are pinned at any given time, but on the other
hand, we cannot really pin in interrupt time :(
