* [PATCH] drm/i915: Pin the ifbdev for the info->system_base GGTT mmapping

From: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>

A long time ago (before 3.14) we relied on a permanent pinning of the
ifbdev to lock the fb in place inside the GGTT. However, the
introduction of stealing the BIOS framebuffer and reusing its address in
the GGTT for the fbdev has muddied waters and we use an inherited fb.
However, the inherited fb is only pinned whilst it is active and we no
longer have an explicit pin for the info->system_base mmapping used by
the fbdev. The result is that after some aperture pressure the fbdev may
be evicted, but we continue to write the fbcon into the same GGTT
address - overwriting anything else that may be put into that offset.
The effect is most pronounced across suspend/resume as
intel_fbdev_set_suspend() does a full clear over the whole scanout.

v2: rebased on latest nightly (Wayne)

This should be i915_gem_obj_ggtt_pin(obj, 0, PIN_MAPPABLE);
At which point I just rage quit.

Jesse, please provide your Tested-by on that plus this patch, since you
reported the breakage [1] that got the two patches reverted in the first
place.

Thanks,

I think a DRM_ERROR() should be added here, otherwise if this check fails,
the user will never be notified thereof. It's not sufficient to just
return a negative int because this just gets passed up the call stack to
intel_fbdev_initial_config() which ignores it.

I'm adding DRM_ERROR() invocations to the two existing error conditions in
this function with patch 4 of the series I just posted to intel-gfx:

Another observation that occurred to me only after sending away my
previous message (sorry):

Since this only concerns the case when the fb was inherited from BIOS,
why don't you invoke i915_gem_obj_ggtt_pin() only in this particular case?
It's discernible from the prealloc variable.

I think then you also don't need to call i915_gem_object_ggtt_unpin() twice.
