Most of this patch series has already been pushed upstream, this is just
the second half of the patch series that has not been pushed yet + some
additional changes which were required to implement changes requested by
the mailing list. This patch series is originally from Asahi, previously
posted by Daniel Almeida.

The previous version of the patch series can be found here:

[PATCH v13 1/5] rust: drm: gem: s/device::Device/Device/ for shmem.rs

[Lyude Paul]

We're about to start explicitly mentioning kernel devices as well in this
file, so this makes it easier to differentiate the two by allowing us to
import `device` as `kernel::device`.

[PATCH v13 2/5] drm/gem/shmem: Introduce __drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked()

[Lyude Paul]

One of the complications of trying to use the shmem helpers to create a
scatterlist for shmem objects is that we need to be able to provide a
guarantee that the driver cannot be unbound for the lifetime of the
scatterlist.

The easiest way of handling this seems to be just hooking up an unmap
operation to devres the first time we create a scatterlist, which allows us
to still take advantage of gem shmem facilities without breaking that
guarantee. To allow for this, we extract __drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked()
- which allows a caller (e.g. the rust bindings) to manually unmap the sgt
for a gem object as needed.

We will also need this in GPUVM, so I don't think it needs to be private
to shmem.

[PATCH v13 4/5] rust: drm: gem: Introduce shmem::SGTable

[Lyude Paul]

In order to do this, we need to be careful to ensure that any interface we
expose for scatterlists ensures that any mappings created from one are
destroyed on driver-unbind. To do this, we introduce a Devres resource into
shmem::Object that we use in order to ensure that we release any SGTable
mappings on driver-unbind. We store this in an UnsafeCell and protect
access to it using the dma_resv lock that we already have from the shmem
gem object, which is the same lock that currently protects
drm_gem_object_shmem->sgt.

We also provide two different methods for acquiring an sg table:
self.sg_table(), and self.owned_sg_table(). The first function is for
short-term uses of mapped SGTables, the second is for callers that need to
hold onto the mapped SGTable for an extended period of time. The second
variant uses Devres of course, whereas the first simply relies on rust's
borrow checker to prevent driver-unbind when using the mapped SGTable.

Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>

---
V3:
* Rename OwnedSGTable to shmem::SGTable. Since the current version of the
  SGTable abstractions now has a `Owned` and `Borrowed` variant, I think
  renaming this to shmem::SGTable makes things less confusing.
  We do however, keep the name of owned_sg_table() as-is.
V4:
* Clarify safety comments for SGTable to explain why the object is
  thread-safe.
* Rename from SGTableRef to SGTable
V10:
* Use Devres in order to ensure that SGTables are revocable, and are
  unmapped on driver-unbind.
V11:
* s/create_sg_table()/get_sg_table()
* Get rid of extraneous `ret = ` in shmem::Object::get_sg_table()
V12:
* Actually move sgt_res in this patch and not the next one
V13:
* Use DmaResvGuard suggestion from Alexander
* Use Alexander's (much better) solution for get_sg_table()
* Use SetOnce instead of UnsafeCell
* s/SGTableRef/SGTableMap
* Fix typo in SGTableMap documentation
* Create fallible constructor for SGTableMap
* Don't reuse dma_resv lock for protecting Object contents, just use Mutex
  + SetOnce
* Drop use of drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt_locked(), since we don't need to
  hold the dma_resv lock ourselves for anything but this function.
* Check that the device we receive in the bounds for sg_table() and
  owned_sg_table() that said Device is in fact, the correct device.
* Remove redundant docs in owned_sg_table(), just point it back to
  sg_table().
* Implement Deborah's suggestion to fix double-free in
  free_callback()
* Restore original order of Object<T>
* Fix doc typo for SGTableMap

As far as I can tell, you don't need this Mutex. Also, it causes
problems like requiring the reference transmute below.

I think it is also causing a lockdep warning pointing to this sgt_res mutex.
It only happens when KUnit tests are enabled.
If the KUnit tests register a lock class for this mutex first, then when Tyr
later locks it via sg_table(), lockdep complains about the same key being used
for a different class.

We do actually need the mutex, see the discussions on the older versions of
the patch series that I had with Alexandre. The only alternative is the
ability to pass a impl Init<_, Error> to SetOnce::populate. Whcih is because
Devres setup can fail, and we can only have one Devres resource for SGTableMap
at a time for a given gem object because dropping the Devres also releases the
sgt table. So trying to do this without a lock would imply creating a Devres,
attempting to pass it to populate (it could have been populated between
creation and populating the devres), and then destroying a potentially
redundant Devres that will drop the SGT resources that the prior Devres
instance would be responsible for unmapping.

[PATCH v13 5/5] rust: drm: gem: Add vmap functions to shmem bindings

[Lyude Paul]

One of the more obvious use cases for gem shmem objects is the ability to
create mappings into their contents. So, let's hook this up in our rust
bindings.

Similar to how we handle SGTables, we make sure there's two different types
of mappings: owned mappings (kernel::drm::gem::shmem::VMap) and borrowed
mappings (kernel::drm::gem::shmem::VMapRef).

V7:
* Switch over to the new iosys map bindings that use the Io trait
V8:
* Get rid of iosys_map bindings for now, only support non-iomem types
* s/as_shmem()/as_raw_shmem()
V9:
* Get rid of some outdated comments I missed
* Add missing SIZE check to raw_vmap()
* Add a proper unit test that ensures that we actually validate SIZE at
  compile-time.
  Turns out it takes only 34 lines to make a boilerplate DRM driver for a
  kunit test :)
* Add unit tests
* Add some missing #[inline]s
V10:
* Correct issue with iomem error path
  We previously called raw_vunmap() if we got an iomem allocation, but
  raw_vunmap() was written such that it assumed all allocations were sysmem
  allocations. Fix this by just making raw_vunmap() accept a iosys_map.
V11:
* Use Alexandre's clever solution to remove the macros we were using for
  maintaining two different VMap types.
* Change the order of items in Object<T> to ensure that sgt_res is always
  dropped before obj.
* Fix typo in Object.raw_vmap()
* s/raw_vmap()/make_vmap()/
  Deduplicate code a bit more as well by using more generics here
