There are several places inside driver where a GEM object is mapped
to kernel virtual space. The mapping may be done either for the whole
object or only a subset of it.

This patch introduces a function i915_gem_object_vmap_range() to
implement the common functionality. The code itself is extracted and
adapted from that in vmap_batch(), but also replaces vmap_obj() and the
open-coded version in i915_gem_dmabuf_vmap().

v2: use obj->pages->nents for iteration within i915_gem_object_vmap;
     break when it finishes all desired pages. The caller must pass the
     actual page count required. [Tvrtko Ursulin]

v4: renamed to i915_gem_object_vmap_range() to make its function
     clearer. [Dave Gordon]

v5: use Chris Wilson's new drm_malloc_gfp() rather than kmalloc() or
     drm_malloc_ab(). [Dave Gordon]

v6: changed range checking to not use pages->nents. [Tvrtko Ursulin]
     Use sg_nents_for_len() for range check instead. [Dave Gordon]
     Pass range parameters in bytes rather than pages (both callers
     were converting from bytes to pages anyway, so this reduces the
     number of places where the conversion is done).

With this change, we have only one vmap() in the whole driver :)

I think this is needless overhead. The helper will iterate the whole sg
chain while we know the size in obj->base.size and finding out the real
nents is of little (no) use to the code below.

It was more of a consistency check between the GEM object on the one hand, and the SGlist implementation on the other; since none of the other SG interfaces actually work in any useful quantities (e.g. pages or bytes; 'nents' is particularly useless, as it is affected by the details of the way the underlying pages have been mapped, in particular how many separate chunks they're in).

+
+    /* Work in pages from now on */
+    first = start >> PAGE_SHIFT;
+    npages = DIV_ROUND_UP(start + nbytes, PAGE_SIZE) - first;

And this looks like weak API if the caller can pass non page aligned
start and size and the function will silently vmap something else.

It should assert and fail on both I think, or it may have been simpler
to keep it working in page units.

It is exactly the API required by copy_batch() (which is where this code came from), and it's a perfectly well-defined API: the start offset is rounded down to the start of the containing page, the end address (start + len) is rounded up to the next page boundary, and that defines what gets mapped i.e. the smallest page-aligned region containing the range specified.

But I could let (all) the callers do that conversion instead ...

This is still in pages. (Although as said below I think it should remain
and API be reverted back.)

Ah yes, I missed this call and the one below, 'cos they get fixed up by the last patch of the series (which *does* adopt the new interface).

Here also.

Actually ... if we work in pages but adopt a convention that length==0 means "the whole object" then only copy_batch() would have to do any page-aligning calculations; all other callers always want the whole object so it's nice to make the interface convenient for them :)

I'll see how that works out ...

.Dave.
