TTM is just wrapping core DMA functionality here, remove the mid-layer.
No functional change.

This 15 second stuck out a bit for me and then on a slightly deeper look
it seems this timeout will "leak" into a few of i915 code paths. If we
look at the difference between the legacy shmem and ttm backend I am not sure if the legacy one is blocking or not - but if it can block I don't think it would have an arbitrary timeout like this. Matt your thoughts?
Not sure what is meant by leak here, but the legacy shmem must also
wait/block when unbinding each VMA, before calling truncate. It's the
By "leak" I meant if 15s timeout propagates into some code paths visible
from userspace which with a legacy backend instead have an indefinite
wait. If we have that it's probably not very good to have this
inconsistency, or to apply an arbitrary timeout to those path to start with.

same story for the ttm backend, except slightly more complicated in
that there might be no currently bound VMA, and yet the GPU could
still be accessing the pages due to async unbinds, kernel moves etc,
which the wait here (and in i915_ttm_shrink) is meant to protect
against. If the wait times out it should just fail gracefully. I guess
we could just use MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT here? Not sure if it really
matters though.
Right, depends if it can leak or not to userspace and diverge between
backends.
Generally lock_timeout() is a design bug. It's either
lock_interruptible (or maybe lock_killable) or try_lock, but
lock_timeout is just duct-tape. I haven't dug in to figure out what
should be here, but it smells fishy.

Independent of this discussion could I get an rb for removing ttm_bo_wait() from i915?

Exactly hiding this timeout inside TTM is what always made me quite nervous here.

There are also a few places in i915 calling bo_wait_ctx(), which appears to just wrap ttm_bo_wait(). I guess that should also be converted to dma_resv_wait_timeout()? Or what is the story with that?

Anyway,
