[Intel-gfx] [RFC] mm, drm/i915: Mark pinned shmemfs pages as unevictable

[Chris Wilson]

Similar in principle to the treatment of get_user_pages, pages that
i915.ko acquires from shmemfs are not immediately reclaimable and so
should be excluded from the mm accounting and vmscan until they have
been returned to the system via shrink_slab/i915_gem_shrink. By moving
the unreclaimable pages off the inactive anon lru, not only should
vmscan be improved by avoiding walking unreclaimable pages, but the
system should also have a better idea of how much memory it can reclaim
at that moment in time.

Note, however, the interaction with shrink_slab which will move some
mlocked pages back to the inactive anon lru.
