If we run out of stolen memory when trying to allocate an object, see if
we can reap enough purgeable objects to free up enough contiguous free
space for the allocation. This is in principle very much like evicting
objects to free up enough contiguous space in the vma when binding
a new object - and you will be forgiven for thinking that the code looks
very similar.

At the moment, we do not allow userspace to allocate objects in stolen,
so there is neither the memory pressure to trigger stolen eviction nor
any purgeable objects inside the stolen arena. However, this will change
in the near future, and so better management and defragmentation of
stolen memory will become a real issue.

v2: Remember to remove the drm_mm_node.

v3: Rebased to the latest drm-intel-nightly (Ankit)

v4: correctedted if-else braces format (Tvrtko/kerneldoc)

Testcase: igt/gem_stolen

Chris and I just discussed on irc that the bound_list isn't in a great LRU
order right now and Chris sent out a fix for that. But it only works if we
preferrentially shrink inactive objects first. Worth the bother or just a
FIXME?
Sorry for the late response. Do you mean to say here that within the bound list, first the inactive stolen objects should be considered for purge ?
Is it very likely that an active bo will also be marked as purgeable ?

For the fb use-case alone it's not needed since we can't remove the
fb until it's no longer being displayed (otherwise the backwards-compat
code kicks in and synchronously kills the display at RMFB time), and that
pretty much means we can't put the underlying bo into any cache (and mark
it purgeable) either.
Here do you mean that a frame buffer bo should not be (or cannot be) marked as purgeable by User, if it is still being scanned out ?

Best regards
Akash

 But a FIXME comment here would be good for sure,
just in case this assumption ever gets broken.
