<title>drm/i915: Pin the ifbdev for the info-&gt;system_base GGTT mmapping</title>

<content type='text'>
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-&gt;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: Only unpin the intel_fb is we allocate it. If we inherit the fb from
the BIOS, we do not own the pinned vma (except for the reference we add
in this patch for our access via info-&gt;screen_base).

v3: Finish balancing the vma pinning for the normal !preallocated case.

v4: Try to simplify the pinning even further.
v5: Leak the VMA (cleaned up by object-free) to avoid complicated error paths.

<title>drm/i915: Tear down fbdev if initialization fails</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently if intelfb_create() errors out, it unrefs the bo even though
the fb now owns that reference. (Spotted by Ville Syrjälä.) We should
unref the fb instead of the bo.

However the fb was not necessarily allocated by intelfb_create(),
it could be inherited from BIOS (the fb struct was then allocated by
dev_priv-&gt;display.get_initial_plane_config()) and be in active use by
a crtc. In this case we should call drm_framebuffer_remove() instead
of _unreference() to also disable the crtc.

Daniel Vetter suggested that "fbdev teardown code will take care of it.
The correct approach is probably to not unref anything at all".

But if fbdev initialization fails, the fbdev isn't torn down and
occupies memory even though it's unusable. Therefore clobber it in
intel_fbdev_initial_config(). (Currently we ignore a negative return
value there.) The idea is that if fbdev initialization fails, the driver
behaves as if CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION wasn't set. Should X11 manage
to start up without errors, it will at least be able to use the memory
that would otherwise be hogged by the unusable fbdev.

Also, log errors in intelfb_create().

Don't call async_synchronize_full() in intel_fbdev_fini() when called
from intel_fbdev_initial_config() to avoid deadlock.

v2: Instead of calling drm_framebuffer_unreference() (if fb was not
    inherited from BIOS), call intel_fbdev_fini().

v3: Rebase on e00bf69644ba (drm/i915: Move the fbdev async_schedule()
    into intel_fbdev.c), call async_synchronize_full() conditionally
    instead of moving it into i915_driver_unload().

<title>drm/i915: Fix oops caused by fbdev initialization failure</title>

intelfb_create() is called once on driver initialization. If it fails,
ifbdev-&gt;helper.fbdev, ifbdev-&gt;fb or ifbdev-&gt;fb-&gt;obj may be NULL.

Further up in the call stack, intel_fbdev_initial_config() calls
intel_fbdev_fini() to tear down the ifbdev on failure. This calls
intel_fbdev_destroy() which dereferences ifbdev-&gt;fb. Fix the ensuing
oops.

Also check in these functions if ifbdev is not NULL to avoid oops:

i915_gem_framebuffer_info() is called on access to debugfs file
"i915_gem_framebuffer" and dereferences ifbdev, ifbdev-&gt;helper.fb
and ifbdev-&gt;helper.fb-&gt;obj.

intel_connector_add_to_fbdev() / intel_connector_remove_from_fbdev()
are called when registering / unregistering an mst connector and
dereference ifbdev.

v3: Drop additional null pointer checks in intel_fbdev_set_suspend(),
    intel_fbdev_output_poll_changed() and intel_fbdev_restore_mode()
    since they already check if ifbdev is not NULL, which is sufficient
    now that intel_fbdev_fini() is called on initialization failure.

<title>drm/i915: Move the fbdev async_schedule() into intel_fbdev.c</title>

Reading the driver load/unload code leaves one confused as there's
an async_schedule() in the load, but not async_synchronize_full()
in sight. In fact it's hidden inside intel_fbdev.c. So let's move the
async_schedule() into intel_fbdev.c as well so that it's next to the
async_synchronize_full(), which should make the relationship easier
to see.

Plus this way we won't schedule a nop function call when fbdev is
disabled. And we were passing a pointer to a static inline
function to async_schedule(), which seems rather dubious to me.

<title>drm/i915: Fix failure paths around initial fbdev allocation</title>

We had two failure modes here:

1.
Deadlock in intelfb_alloc failure path where it calls
drm_framebuffer_remove, which grabs the struct mutex and intelfb_create
(caller of intelfb_alloc) was already holding it.

2.
Deadlock in intelfb_create failure path where it calls
drm_framebuffer_unreference, which grabs the struct mutex and
intelfb_create was already holding it.

[Daniel Vetter on why struct_mutex needs to be locked in the second half
of intelfb_create: "The vma [for the fbdev] is pinned, the problem is
that we re-lookup it a few times, which is racy. We should instead track
the vma directly, but oh well we don't."]

v2:
   * Reformat commit msg to 72 chars. (Lukas Wunner)
   * Add third failure mode. (Lukas Wunner)

v5:
   * Rebase on drm-intel-nightly 2015y-09m-01d-09h-06m-08s UTC,
     rephrase commit message. (Jani Nicula)

v6:
   * In intelfb_alloc, if __intel_framebuffer_create failed,
     fb will be an ERR_PTR, thus not null. So in the failure
     path we need to check for IS_ERR_OR_NULL to avoid calling
     drm_framebuffer_remove on the ERR_PTR. (Lukas Wunner)
   * Since this is init code a drm_framebuffer_unreference should
     be all we need. drm_framebuffer_remove is for framebuffers
     that userspace has created - and is getting somewhat
     defeatured. (Daniel Vetter)

v7:
   * Clarify why struct_mutex needs to be locked in the second half
     of intelfb_create. (Daniel Vetter)

Make pinning and waiting a separate step, and wait for object idle
without struct_mutex held.

<title>drm/i915: don't allocate fbcon from stolen memory if it's too big</title>

Technology has evolved and now we have eDP panels with 3200x1800
resolution. In the meantime, the BIOS guys didn't change the default
32mb for stolen memory. On top of that, we can't assume our users will
be able to increase the default stolen memory size to more than 32mb -
I'm not even sure all BIOSes allow that.

So just the fbcon buffer alone eats 22mb of my stolen memroy, and due
to the BDW/SKL restriction of not using the last 8mb of stolen memory,
all that's left for FBC is 2mb! Since fbcon is not the coolest feature
ever, I think it's better to save our precious stolen resource to FBC
and the other guys.

On the other hand, we really want to use as much stolen memory as
possible, since on some older systems the stolen memory may be a
considerable percentage of the total available memory.

This patch tries to achieve a little balance using a simple heuristic:
if the fbcon wants more than half of the available stolen memory,
don't use stolen memory in order to leave some for FBC and the other
features.

The long term plan should be to implement a way to set priorities for
stolen memory allocation and then evict low priority users when the
high priority ones need the memory. While we still don't have that,
let's try to make FBC usable with the simple solution.

Backmerge to catch up with 4.3. slightly more involved conflict in the
irq code, but nothing beyond adjacent changes.

i915 supports enough atomic to have atomic fb-helper paths, even though
it does not yet advertise DRIVER_ATOMIC.
