Now we have two flags for contiguous VRAM buffer allocation.
If the application request for AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_VRAM_CONTIGUOUS,
it would set the ttm place TTM_PL_FLAG_CONTIGUOUS flag in the
buffer's placement function.
This patch will change the default behaviour of the two flags.
When we set AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_VRAM_CONTIGUOUS
- This means contiguous is not mandatory.
- we will try to allocate the contiguous buffer. Say if the
allocation fails, we fallback to allocate the individual pages.
When we setTTM_PL_FLAG_CONTIGUOUS
- This means contiguous allocation is mandatory.
- we are setting this in amdgpu_bo_pin_restricted() before bo validation
and check this flag in the vram manager file.
- if this is set, we should allocate the buffer pages contiguously.
the allocation fails, we return -ENOSPC.
v2:
- keep the mem_flags and bo->flags check as is(Christian)
- place the TTM_PL_FLAG_CONTIGUOUS flag setting into the
amdgpu_bo_pin_restricted function placement range iteration
loop(Christian)
- rename find_pages with amdgpu_vram_mgr_calculate_pages_per_block
(Christian)
- Keep the kernel BO allocation as is(Christain)
- If BO pin vram allocation failed, we need to return -ENOSPC as
RDMA cannot work with scattered VRAM pages(Philip)
v3(Christian):
- keep contiguous flag handling outside of pages_per_block
calculation
- remove the hacky implementation in contiguous flag error
handling code
v4(Christian):
- use any variable and return value for non-contiguous
fallback
v5: rebase to amd-staging-drm-next branch

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
