[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 1/3] drm/i915/guc: keep GuC objects mapped in kernel

Mon Apr 18 10:15:07 UTC 2016


With the new i915_gem_obj_pin_map() interface, it makes sense to keep
GuC objects (which are always pinned in memory and in the GGTT anyway)
mapped into kernel address space, rather than mapping and unmapping them
on each access.

This preliminary patch sets up the pin-and-map for all GuC-specific
objects, and updates the various setup/shutdown functions to use these
long-term mappings rather than doing their own kmap_atomic() calls.

v2:
    Invent & use accessor function i915_object_mapped_address() rather
    than accessing obj->mapping directly (Tvrtko Ursulin)
    Use IS_ERR() rather than checking for NULL (Tvrtko Ursulin)
    Added big comment about struct i915_guc_client & usage of the GEM
    object that it describes
