For larger (bigger than a page) and noncontiguous mobs we have to create page tables that allow the host to find the memory. Those page tables just used regular system memory. Unfortunately in TTM those BO's are not allowed to be busy thus can't be fenced and we have to fence those bo's because we don't want to destroy the page tables while the host is still executing the command buffers which might be accessing them. To solve it we introduce a new placement VMW_PL_SYSTEM which is very similar to TTM_PL_SYSTEM except that it allows fencing. This fixes kernel oops'es during unloading of the driver (and pci hot remove/add) which were caused by busy BO's in TTM_PL_SYSTEM being present in the delayed deletion list in TTM (TTM_PL_SYSTEM manager is destroyed before the delayed deletions are executed) Signed-off-by: Zack Rusin <zackr@vmware.com> Reviewed-by: Martin Krastev <krastevm@vmware.com> Cc: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Cc: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20211105193845.258816-5-zackr@vmware.com
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.
