drm/i915: Create page table allocators
As we move toward dynamic page table allocation, it becomes much easier to manage our data structures if break do things less coarsely by breaking up all of our actions into individual tasks. This makes the code easier to write, read, and verify. Aside from the dissection of the allocation functions, the patch statically allocates the page table structures without a page directory. This remains the same for all platforms, The patch itself should not have much functional difference. The primary noticeable difference is the fact that page tables are no longer allocated, but rather statically declared as part of the page directory. This has non-zero overhead, but things gain additional complexity as a result. This patch exists for a few reasons: 1. Splitting out the functions allows easily combining GEN6 and GEN8 code. Page tables have no difference based on GEN8. As we'll see in a future patch when we add the DMA mappings to the allocations, it requires only one small change to make work, and error handling should just fall into place. 2. Unless we always want to allocate all page tables under a given PDE, we'll have to eventually break this up into an array of pointers (or pointer to pointer). 3. Having the discrete functions is easier to review, and understand. All allocations and frees now take place in just a couple of locations. Reviewing, and catching leaks should be easy. 4. Less important: the GFP flags are confined to one location, which makes playing around with such things trivial. v2: Updated commit message to explain why this patch exists v3: For lrc, s/pdp.page_directory[i].daddr/pdp.page_directory[i]->daddr/ v4: Renamed free_pt/pd_single functions to unmap_and_free_pt/pd (Daniel) v5: Added additional safety checks in gen8 clear/free/unmap. v6: Use WARN_ON and return -EINVAL in alloc_pt_range (Mika). v7: Make err_out loop symmetrical to the way we allocate in alloc_pt_range. Also s/page_tables/page_table and correct commit message (Mika) Cc: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NBen Widawsky <ben@bwidawsk.net> Signed-off-by: Michel Thierry <michel.thierry@intel.com> (v3+) Reviewed-by: NMika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDaniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
