I can only answer for the first patch there, It was some time ago it was written, but at that point the pinning was held both by get_pages() and by submission. I removed the submission pinning and instead moved get_pages() to start of submission. So no significant change in pinning time there. For some reason I can't clearly remember the submission pinning got in the way of the vm_bind implementation. That said, the pinning AFAIR is released in the gem shrinker. And it's different from what other drivers are doing. i915 never got to the point where it completely dropped the pinning after the binding. /Thomas > > It also feels like the authorship on this might be lies which also > worries me. > > Dave.
