So when we've merged this we iirc talked about this issue and decided that
the shrinker should be good enough in cleaning up the crap from shared
objects. Not a pretty solution, but it should have worked.

Is this again the lowmemory killer wreaking havoc with our i915 shrinker,
or is there something else going on? And do you have some igt testcase for
this? If sharing is all that's required the following should do the trick:
1. allocate obj
2. create new context
3. do dummy execbuf with that obj to map it into the ppgtt
4. free context
5. goto 2 often enough to OOM

The shrinker should eventually kick in and clean up, but maybe I'm wrong
about that ...

One thing I've thought of is that if the shared object is pinned as a
scanout buffer then the shrinker won't touch it. But not sure whether you
can actually do this to end up with a stable leak - after each pageflip
the shrinker evict the vma/obj for this eventually.

This is misnamed since what it really does is unbind everything and then
drop the reference. Unbinding everything is already implemented as
i915_gem_evict_vm.

Also unconditionally evicting the entire vm upon context destruction means
we essentially assume a 1:1 link between ctx and ppgtt. Which is currently
true but will change with the interfaces planned for buffered svm.

I think we need a new ctx_use_count besides the pointer refcount that we
inc/dec on context desctruction. And then we only call evict_vm when that
drops to 0.

Imo this should be moved back into the ctx destruction code, hiding it
liek this makes auditing the refcounting a lot harder. Especially if the
wrapping function doesn't use the magic get/put words used for
refcounting.

We have that already, right below ;-)
