On Braswell and Broxton (also known as Valleyview and Apollolake), we need to serialise updates of the GGTT using the big stop_machine() hammer. This has the side effect of appearing to lockdep as a possible reclaim (since it uses the cpuhp mutex and that is tainted by per-cpu allocations). However, we want to use vm->mutex (including ggtt->mutex) from within the shrinker and so must avoid such possible taints. For this purpose, we introduced the asynchronous vma binding and we can apply it to the PIN_GLOBAL so long as take care to add the necessary waits for the worker afterwards.

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 Restructured Text 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.
