[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3 6/6] drm/i915/gt: describe the new tlb parameter at i915_vma_resource

[Andi Shyti]

Hi Mauro,

> TLB cache invalidation can happen on two different situations:
> 
> 1. synchronously, at __vma_put_pages();
> 2. asynchronously.
> 
> On the first case, TLB cache invalidation happens inside
> __vma_put_pages(). So, no need to do it later on.
> 
> However, on the second case, the pages will keep in memory
> until __i915_vma_evict() is called.
> 
> So, we need to store the TLB data at struct i915_vma_resource,
> in order to do a TLB cache invalidation before allowing
> userspace to re-use the same memory.
> 
> So, i915_vma_resource_unbind() has gained a new parameter
> in order to store the TLB data at the second case.
> 
> Document it.
