[RFC PATCH 01/20] drm/suballoc: Introduce a generic suballocation manager

From: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom at linux.intel.com>
Initially we tried to leverage the amdgpu suballocation manager.
It turnes out, however, that it tries extremely hard not to enable
signalling on the fences that hold the memory up for freeing, which makes
it hard to understand and to fix potential issues with it.
So in a simplification effort, introduce a drm suballocation manager as a
wrapper around an existing allocator (drm_mm) and to avoid using queues
for freeing, thus avoiding throttling on free which is an undesired
feature as typically the throttling needs to be done uninterruptible.
This variant is probably more cpu-hungry but can be improved at the cost
of additional complexity. Ideas for that are documented in the
drm_suballoc.c file.

+/**
+ * DOC:
+ * This suballocator intends to be a wrapper around a range allocator
+ * that is aware also of deferred range freeing with fences. Currently
+ * we hard-code the drm_mm as the range allocator.
+ * The approach, while rather simple, suffers from three performance
+ * issues that can all be fixed if needed at the tradeoff of more and / or
+ * more complex code:
+ *
+ * 1) It's cpu-hungry, the drm_mm allocator is overkill. Either code a
+ * much simpler range allocator, or let the caller decide by providing
+ * ops that wrap any range allocator. Also could avoid waking up unless
+ * there is a reasonable chance of enough space in the range manager.
+ *
+ * 2) We unnecessarily install the fence callbacks too early, forcing
+ * enable_signaling() too early causing extra driver effort. This is likely
+ * not an issue if used with the drm_scheduler since it calls
+ * enable_signaling() early anyway.
+ *
+ * 3) Long processing in irq (disabled) context. We've mostly worked around
+ * that already by using the idle_list. If that workaround is deemed to
+ * complex for little gain, we can remove it and use spin_lock_irq()
+ * throughout the manager. If we want to shorten processing in irq context
+ * even further, we can skip the spin_trylock in __drm_suballoc_free() and
+ * avoid freeing allocations from irq context altogeher. However drm_mm
+ * should be quite fast at freeing ranges.
+ *
+ * 4) Shrinker that starts processing the list items in 2) and 3) to play
+ * better with the system.
