[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/4] drm/shmem-helper: Switch to vmf_insert_pfn

[Daniel Vetter]

We want to stop gup, which isn't the case if we use vmf_insert_page
and VM_MIXEDMAP, because that does not set pte_special.

The motivation here is to stop get_user_pages from working on buffer
object mmaps in general. Quoting some discussion with Thomas:

get_user_pages. It pins memory wherever it is, which badly wreaks at least
ttm and could also cause trouble with cma allocations. In both cases
becaue we can't move/reuse these pages anymore.

Now get_user_pages fails when the memory isn't considered "normal", like
with VM_PFNMAP and using vm_insert_pfn. For consistency across all dma-buf
I'm trying (together with Christian König) to roll this out everywhere,
for fewer surprises.

E.g. for 5.14 iirc we merged a patch to do the same for ttm, where it
closes an actual bug (ttm gets really badly confused when there's suddenly
pinned pages where it thought it can move them).

cma allcoations already use VM_PFNMAP (because that's what dma_mmap is
using underneath), as is anything that's using remap_pfn_range. Worst case
we have to revert this patch for shmem helpers if it breaks something, but
I hope that's not the case. On the ttm side we've also had some fallout
that we needed to paper over with clever tricks.
v2: With this shmem gem helpers now definitely need CONFIG_MMU (0day)

v3: add more depends on MMU. For usb drivers this is a bit awkward,
but really it's correct: To be able to provide a contig mapping of
buffers to userspace on !MMU platforms we'd need to use the cma
helpers for these drivers on those platforms. As-is this wont work.

Also not exactly sure why vm_insert_page doesn't go boom, because that
definitely wont fly in practice since the pages are non-contig to
begin with.

v4: Explain the entire motivation a lot more (Thomas)
