[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Purge loose pages if we run out of DMA remap space

[Chris Wilson]

If the DMA remap fails, one cause can be that we have too many objects
pinned in a small remapping table, such as swiotlb. (DMA remapping does
not trigger the shrinker by itself on its normal failure paths.)  So try
purging all other objects (using i915_gem_shrink_all(), sparing our own
pages as we have yet to assign them to the obj->pages) and try again. If
there are no pages to reclaim (and consequently no pages to unmap), the
shrinker will report 0 and we fail with -ENOSPC as before.
