[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: simplify shmem pwrite/pread slowpath handling

[Daniel Vetter]

The shmem paths for pwrite/pread used a clever trick to hold onto a
single page when dropping the big dev->struct_mutex for the slowpath.
But this ran the risk of reinstating (or not completely purging) the
backing storage when dropping purgeable objects.

Hence the code needed to keep track of whether it ever dropped the
lock, and if it did, manually check whether it needs to re-purge the
backing storage. But thanks to the pages pin count introduced in

    drm/i915: Pin backing pages whilst exporting through a dmabuf vmap

which allowed us to pin the backing storage and remove that page
reference trick from shmem_pwrite/read in

    drm/i915: Pin backing pages for pwrite

we can now abolish this check. The slowpath cleanup completely
disappears from pread, and for pwrite we're only left with the domain
fixup in case someone moved the object out of the cpu domain from
under us. A follow-on patch will optimize that a notch more.
