Hi Joonas, Rodrigo,

First of all, I apologize for the API breakage: put_user_pages_dirty_lock()
has an additional "dirty" parameter.

In order to deal with the merge problem, I'll drop this patch from my series,
and I'd recommend that the drm-intel-next take the following approach:

1) For now, s/put_page/put_user_page/ in i915_gem_userptr_put_pages(),
and fix up the set_page_dirty() --> set_page_dirty_lock() issue, like this
(based against linux.git):

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_userptr.c
b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_userptr.c
index 528b61678334..94721cc0093b 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_userptr.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_userptr.c
@@ -664,10 +664,10 @@ i915_gem_userptr_put_pages(struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj,

for_each_sgt_page(page, sgt_iter, pages) {
if (obj->mm.dirty)
- set_page_dirty(page);
+ set_page_dirty_lock(page);

mark_page_accessed(page);
- put_page(page);
+ put_user_page(page);
}
obj->mm.dirty = false;

That will leave you with your original set_page_dirty_lock() calls
and everything works properly.

2) Next cycle, move to the new put_user_pages_dirty_lock().

thanks,
