Introduce the concept of padding the i915_vma with guard pages before

must use i915_vma_offset/i915_vma_size and not i915_vma.node.start/size
directly, as the drm_mm_node will include the guard pages that surround
our object.

The biggest connundrum is how exactly to mix requesting a fixed address
with guard pages, particularly through the existing uABI. The user does
not know about guard pages, so such must be transparent to the user, and
so the execobj.offset must be that of the object itself excluding the
guard. So a PIN_OFFSET_FIXED must then be exclusive of the guard pages.
The caveat is that some placements will be impossible with guard pages,
as wrap arounds need to be avoided, and the vma itself will require a
larger node. We must not report EINVAL but ENOSPC as these are unavailable
locations within the GTT rather than conflicting user requirements.

In the next patch, we start using guard pages for scanout objects. While
these are limited to GGTT vma, on a few platforms these vma (or at least
an alias of the vma) is shared with userspace, so we may leak the
existence of such guards if we are not careful to ensure that the
execobj.offset is transparent and excludes the guards. (On such platforms
like ivb, without full-ppgtt, userspace has to use relocations so the
presence of more untouchable regions within its GTT such be of no further
issue.)

Hi Tvrtko,

I removed your r-b in this version because I restored the original value
of the guard being aligned with the vma size alignment. Turns out that
CI failed with the latest version because the guard was becoming too big
(we would have hit the GEM_BUG_ON)[*].

The reason why now the guard is aligned with the vma alignment is that
the area is already aligned and if we use as a starting address start +
guard, guard needs to be aligned, otherwise we screw up all the memory
alignment.

Let me know if it makes sense to you.

Conditional to promise of a prioritised follow up improvement, if it turns
out GGTT wastage due a bit over zealous guard size comes to bite.


Sure! I'll be alert!

There are some unrelated failures from CI, just to be sure I sent
last night a trybot run.


Trybot looked okay, and I just pressed re-test for the intel-gfx series 
so lets see that too.

Tvrtko

Thanks,

Changelog
=
v5 -> v6:
  - restore the original alignment of guard so that it's aligned
coherently with the vma area's alignment.
v4 -> v5:
  - remove again the GEM_BUG_ON()
  - fix an oversight where the rounding was called without assigning the
value to the guard.
v1 -> v4:
  - refer to the cover letter.
