[PATCH 01/24] drm/i915: Watch out for idling during i915_gem_evict_something

[Chris Wilson]

i915_gem_evict_something() is charged with finding a slot within the GTT
that we may reuse. Since our goal is not to stall, we first look for a
slot that only overlaps idle vma. To this end, on the first pass we move
any active vma to the end of the search list. However, we only stopped
moving active vma after we see the first active vma twice. If during the
search, that first active vma completed, we would not notice and keep on
extending the search list.
