[Mesa-stable] [PATCH 2/2] winsys/svga: Limit the maximum DMA hardware buffer size

[Thomas Hellström (VMware)]

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom at vmware.com>

The kernel total GMR/DMA size is limited, but it's definitely possible for the
kernel to allow a larger buffer allocation to succeed, but command
submission using that buffer as a GMR would fail typically causing an
application crash.

So have the winsys limit the size of GMR/DMA buffers. The pipe driver will
then resort to allocating smaller buffers and perform the DMA transfer in
multiple bands, also allowing for the pre-flush mechanism to kick in.

This avoids the related application crashes.

Fixes: e7843273fae ("winsys/svga: Update to vmwgfx kernel module 2.1")
