drm/i915: Batch copy_from_user for relocation processing
Originally the code tried to allocate a large enough array to perform the copy using vmalloc, performance wasn't great and throughput was improved by processing each individual relocation entry separately. This too is not as efficient as one would desire. A compromise would be to allocate a single page, or to allocate a few entries on the stack, and process the copy in batches. The latter gives simpler code and more consistent performance due to a lack of heuristic. x11perf -copywinwin10: n450/pnv i3-330m i5-2520m (cpu) before: 249000 785000 1280000 (80%) page: 264000 896000 1280000 (65%) on-stack: 264000 902000 1280000 (67%) v2: Use 512-bytes of stack for batching rather than allocate a page. v3: Tidy the code slightly with more descriptive variable names Signed-off-by: NChris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: NDaniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: NDaniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
