On flat-ccs capable platform we need to evict and resore the ccs data
along with the corresponding main memory.

This ccs data can only be access through BLT engine through a special
cmd ( )

To support above requirement of flat-ccs enabled i915 platforms this
series adds new param called ccs_pages_needed to the ttm_tt_init(),
to increase the ttm_tt->num_pages of system memory when the obj has the
lmem placement possibility.
Well question is why isn't the buffer object allocated with the extra space
in the first place?
Hi Christian,

On Xe-HP and later devices, we use dedicated compression control state (CCS)
stored in local memory for each surface, to support the 3D and media
compression formats.

The memory required for the CCS of the entire local memory is 1/256 of the
local memory size. So before the kernel boot, the required memory is reserved
for the CCS data and a secure register will be programmed with the CCS base
address

So when we allocate a object in local memory we dont need to explicitly
allocate the space for ccs data. But when we evict the obj into the smem
  to hold the compression related data along with the obj we need smem
  space of obj_size + (obj_size/256).

  Hence when we create smem for an obj with lmem placement possibility we
  create with the extra space.

Exactly that's what I've been missing in the cover letter and/or commit messages, comments etc..

Over all sounds like a valid explanation to me, just one comment on the code/naming:

  int ttm_tt_init(struct ttm_tt *ttm, struct ttm_buffer_object *bo,
-		uint32_t page_flags, enum ttm_caching caching)
+		uint32_t page_flags, enum ttm_caching caching,
+		unsigned long ccs_pages)

Please don't try to leak any i915 specific stuff into common TTM code.

For example use the wording extra_pages instead of ccs_pages here.

Apart from that looks good to me,
Christian.

Christian.

Testing of the series is WIP and looking forward for the early review on
the amendment to ttm_tt_init and the approach.
