You mean once there's no space left in stolen there would be WARN_ON()? 
This is case which was earlier tested by Lucas and Manasi on adlp to be 
working correctly, this was on top of drm-tip. Also on internal testing 
you can see platforms taking this path reliably with no errors.

I'm not sure why use PIN_HIGH for non stolen case, my exposure to gem 
related parts is limited hence I was following Chris's suggestion to put 
zero flag for i915_gem_object_ggtt_pin_ww(..) when not using stolen.
