TLB cache invalidation can happen on two different situations: 1. synchronously, at __vma_put_pages(); 2. asynchronously. On the first case, TLB cache invalidation happens inside __vma_put_pages(). So, no need to do it later on. However, on the second case, the pages will keep in memory until __i915_vma_evict() is called. So, we need to store the TLB data at struct i915_vma_resource, in order to do a TLB cache invalidation before allowing userspace to re-use the same memory. So, i915_vma_resource_unbind() has gained a new parameter in order to store the TLB data at the second case. Document it.
