[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 0/6] make gem_object embedable and convert i915 driver

[Daniel Vetter]

Hi all,

As promised here's my patch series to make struct drm_gem_object embedable.
Also converts drm/i915 as a proof of concept.

I've already looked at the radeon and nouveau modules and a straightforward
replament of the gem_object pointer looks simple. But I think embedding it
into the ttm_bo is better long-term. Stuff like duplicated ref-counting
between the ttm object and the gem one just doesn't make too much sense.

Tested on my i945GM. The changes to radeon and nouveau in patch 2 are only
compile-tested, but the identical change to the i915 survived testing.

Comments on the patches and my future plans highly welcome.

Yours, Daniel

Daniel Vetter (6):
  drm: extract drm_gem_object_init
  drm: free core gem object from driver callbacks
  drm/i915: introduce i915_gem_alloc_object
  drm/i915: embed the gem object into drm_i915_gem_object
  drm/i915: don't use ->driver_private anymore
  drm/i915: drop pointer to drm_gem_object
