From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

I've been spending some time looking into how things behave under high
memory pressure.  The first patch is a random cleanup I noticed along
the way.  The second improves the situation significantly when we are
getting shrinker called from many threads in parallel.  And the last
two are $debugfs/gem fixes I needed so I could monitor the state of GEM
objects (ie. how many are active/purgable/purged) while triggering high
memory pressure.

We could probably go a bit further with dropping the mm_lock in the
shrinker->scan() loop, but this is already a pretty big improvement.
The next step is probably actually to add support to unpin/evict
inactive objects.  (We are part way there since we have already de-
coupled the iova lifetime from the pages lifetime, but there are a
few sharp corners to work through.)

Rob Clark (4):
  drm/msm: Remove unused freed llist node
  drm/msm: Avoid mutex in shrinker_count()
  drm/msm: Fix debugfs deadlock
  drm/msm: Improved debugfs gem stats
