[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/3] drm/i915/gt: Warn about the hidden i915_vma_pin in timeline_get_seqno

[Chris Wilson]

On seqno rollover, we need to allocate ourselves a new cacheline. This
might incur grabbing a new page and pinning it into the GGTT, with some
rather unfortunate lockdep implications.

To avoid a mutex, and more specifically pinning in the GGTT from inside
the kernel context being used to flush the GGTT in emergencies, we will
likely need to lift the next-cacheline allocation to a pre-reservation.
