In this process objects will be unbounded from GTT and unbinding process

That requires a resume of gfx device, if suspended, in the shrinker path.
Considering the power leakage due to intermediate resume, perform unbinding
operation only if device is already runtime active.

Lgtm, the only complication is that we over report the number of
shrinkable objects. But that isn't such a big issue with the current
incarnation of the shrinker.

Please line up contnuation lines with the opening bracking, hint cino=:0,(0 for vim.

Sorry not fully sure but do we need to cover i915_gem_retire_requests() also ? Actually retire_requests could also lead to a potential unbinding, if the last reference of a context goes away in that. There is a runtime_pm_get protection in i915_gem_free_object, so should not be a problem for ringbuffer & context image objects and most probably the i915_gem_context_clean would get completed before the device again goes into runtime suspend state.

Best regards

Gives a better rationale, I think.

And can you, whilst you are here, please put the
intel_runtime_pm_get() into i915_gem_shrinker_oom()
