[PATCH] drm/i915: Fix ordering of unbind vs unpin pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is useful to assert that if the object is bound, then it must have
its pages pinned to prevent the shrinker from reaping its backing store.
This is even more useful with the introduction of real-ppgtt whereupon
we may have the object bound into several vma, with each instance
pinning the backing store. This assertion breaks down during unbind
where we unpinned the backing store before decoupling the vma binding.
This can be fixed with a trivial reording of the unbind sequence, which
reinforces the

   pin pages
   bind to vma
   ...
   unbind from vma
   unpin pages

concept.
