[Intel-xe] [PATCH 0/4] drm/xe: Support optional pinning of userptr pages

["Thomas Hellström" <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com>]

This series add a flag at VM_BIND time to pin the memory backing a VMA.
Initially this is needed for long-running workloads on hardware that
neither support mid-thread preemption nor pagefaults, since without it
the userptr MMU notifier will wait for preemption until preemption times
out.

Moving forward this could be supported also for bo-backed VMAs given
a proper accounting takes place. A sysadmin could then optionally configure
a system to be optimized for dealing with a single GPU application
at a time.

The series will be followed up with an igt series to exercise the uAPI.

Thomas Hellström (4):
  drm/xe/vm: Use onion unwind for xe_vma_userptr_pin_pages()
  drm/xe/vm: Implement userptr page pinning
  drm/xe/vm: Perform accounting of userptr pinned pages
  drm/xe/uapi: Support pinning of userptr vmas
