The existing ABI says that scanouts are pinned into the mappable region so that legacy clients (e.g. old Xorg or plymouthd) can write directly into the scanout through a GTT mapping. However if the surface does not fit into the mappable region, we are better off just trying to fit it anywhere and hoping for the best. (Any userspace that is capable of using ginormous scanouts is also likely not to rely on pure GTT updates.) With the partial vma fault support, we are no longer restricted to only using scanouts that we can pin (though it is still preferred for performance reasons and for powersaving features like FBC). v2: Skip fence pinning when not mappable. v3: Add a comment to explain the possible ramifications of not being able to use fences for unmappable scanouts. v4: Rebase to skip over some local patches v5: Rebase to defer until after we have unmappable GTT fault support Signed-off-by: NChris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Deepak S <deepak.s@linux.intel.com> Cc: Damien Lespiau <damien.lespiau@intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: NJoonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20160818161718.27187-27-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
