     drm/i915: Refactor shmem pread setup

It is possible for an object to not be a shmem backed GEM object (for example
userptr objects). An example of how we hit this failure can be found through
copy_batch() in the command parser because we allocate a userptr object for the
batch which contains privileged instructions. Userptr calls
drm_gem_private_object_init() which explicitly sets the filp to none.

It is equally feasible to simply remove the check altogether. You'll probably
oops with get_pages somewhere, but that's okay IMO because this condition
should be a driver bug, and not trigger-able by userspace. On this note, the
function name could probably benefit from a change, but whatever.

NOTE: I manually retyped this from a test machine. So I haven't even compiled
this exact patch.

Don't all subclasses have a get_pages() function?

Do we want to do what Chris did in

+       if (WARN_ON((obj->ops->flags & I915_GEM_OBJECT_HAS_STRUCT_PAGE) == 0))

?

Yes, I think so; i915_gem_shmem_pread() is going to walk the sglist, so the object had better have a page array for it to iterate over.

.Dave.
