This series implements TTM shrinker / eviction helpers and an xe bo
shrinker. It builds on a previous series, *and obsoletes that one*.

now addressed, and this version also implements shmem objects for backup
rather than direct swap-cache insertions, which was used in the previuos
series. It turns out that with per-page backup / shrinking, shmem objects
appears to work just as well as direct swap-cache insertions with the
added benefit that was introduced in the previous TTM shrinker series to
avoid running out of swap entries isn't really needed.
The series earlier consisted of a LRU traversal part and the current part.
The LRU traversal part is merged, but is still mentioned in the history
below.
Patch 1 could in theory be skipped but introduces a possibility to easily
add or test multiple backup backends, like the direct swap-cache
insertion or even files into fast dedicated nvme storage for for example.
Patch 2 introduces helpers in the ttm_pool code for page-by-page shrinking
and recovery. It avoids having to temporarily allocate a huge amount of
memory to be able to shrink a buffer object. It also introduces the
possibility to immediately write-back pages if needed, since that tends
to be a bit delayed when left to kswapd.
Patch 3 Adds a simple error injection to the above code to help increase
test coverage.
Patch 4 Implements a shrinker helper in TTM, and exports the LRU walker.
Patch 5 Implements the xe bo shrinker.
Patch 6 Increases (removes) the XE_PL_TT watermark.
v2:
- Squash obsolete revision history in the patch commit messages.
- Fix a couple of review comments by Christian
- Don't store the mem_type in the TTM managers but in the
resource cursor.
- Rename introduced TTM *back_up* function names to *backup*
- Add ttm pool recovery fault injection.
- Shrinker xe kunit test
- Various bugfixes
v3:
- Address some review comments from Matthew Brost and Christian König.
- Use the restartable LRU walk for TTM swapping and eviction.
- Provide a POC drm_exec locking implementation for exhaustive
eviction. (Christian König).
v4:
- Remove the RFC exhaustive eviction part. While the path to exhaustive
eviction is pretty clear and demonstrated in v3, there is still some
drm_exec work that needs to be agreed and implemented.
- Add shrinker power management. On some hw we need to wake when shrinking.
- Fix the lru walker helper for -EALREADY errors.
- Add drm/xe: Increase the XE_PL_TT watermark.
v5:
- Update also TTM kunit tests
- Handle ghost- and zombie objects in the shrinker.
- A couple of compile- and UAF fixes reported by Kernel Build Robot and
Dan Carpenter.
v6:
- Address review comments from Matthew Brost on the
restartable LRU traversal path.
v7:
- Split out TTM restartable LRU traversal path and merge that.
- Adapt the review comments on that seires.
v8:
- Address review comments from Matthew Brost as detailed in the
respective patches.
v9:
- Rebase and fix compilation errors
