[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Repeat evictions whilst pageflip completions are outstanding

[Chris Wilson]

Since an old pageflip will keep its scanout buffer object pinned until
it has executed its unpin task on the common workqueue, we can clog up
our GGTT with stale pinned objects. As we cannot flush those workqueues
without dropping our locks, we have to resort to falling back to
userspace and telling them to repeat the operation in order to have a
chance to run our workqueues and free up the required memory. If we
fail, then we are forced to report ENOSPC back to userspace causing the
operation to fail and best-case scenario is that it introduces temporary
corruption.
