Subject: drm/i915: A hotfix for making aliasing PPGTT work for GVT-g
From: Zhi Wang <zhi.a.wang@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 3e52d71ede206df75b56208e7c7a277ef157bb71 upstream.
This patch makes PPGTT page table non-shrinkable when using aliasing PPGTT
mode. It's just a temporary solution for making GVT-g work.
Fixes: 2ce5179fe826 ("drm/i915/gtt: Free unused lower-level page tables")
