When userspace is passing around swapbuffers using DRI, we frequently
have to open and close the same object in the foreign address space.
This shows itself as the same object being rebound at roughly 30fps
(with a second object also being rebound at 30fps), which involves us
having to rewrite the page tables and maintain the drm_mm range manager
every time.
However, since the object still exists and it is only the local handle
that disappears, if we are lazy and do not unbind the VMA immediately
when the local user closes the object but defer it until the GPU is
idle, then we can reuse the same VMA binding. We still have to be
careful to mark the handle and lookup tables as closed to maintain the
uABI, just allowing the underlying VMA to be resurrected if the user is
able to access the same object from the same context again.
If the object itself is destroyed (neither userspace keeping a handle to
it), the VMA will be reaped immediately as usual.
In the future, this will be even more useful as instantiating a new VMA
for use on the GPU will become heavier. A nuisance indeed, so nip it in
the bud.
v2: s/__i915_vma_final_close/i915_vma_destroy/ etc.
v3: Leave a hint as to why we deferred the unbind on close.

We want to de-emphasize the link between the request (dependency,
execution and fence tracking) from GEM and so rename the struct from
drm_i915_gem_request to i915_request. That is we may implement the GEM
user interface on top of requests, but they are an abstraction for
tracking execution rather than an implementation detail of GEM. (Since
they are not tied to HW, we keep the i915 prefix as opposed to intel.)
In short, the spatch:

- struct drm_i915_gem_request

A corollary to contracting the type name, we also harmonise on using
'rq' shorthand for local variables where space if of the essence and
repetition makes 'request' unwieldy. For globals and struct members,
'request' is still much preferred for its clarity.

This was the competing idea long ago, but it was only with the rewrite
of the idr as an radixtree and using the radixtree directly ourselves,
along with the realisation that we can store the vma directly in the
radixtree and only need a list for the reverse mapping, that made the
patch performant enough to displace using a hashtable. Though the vma ht
is fast and doesn't require any extra allocation (as we can embed the node
inside the vma), it does require a thread for resizing and serialization
and will have the occasional slow lookup. That is hairy enough to
investigate alternatives and favour them if equivalent in peak performance.
One advantage of allocating an indirection entry is that we can support a
single shared bo between many clients, something that was done on a
first-come first-serve basis for shared GGTT vma previously. To offset
the extra allocations, we create yet another kmem_cache for them.

The major scaling bottleneck in execbuffer is the processing of the
execobjects. Creating an auxiliary list is inefficient when compared to
using the execobject array we already have allocated.
Reservation is then split into phases. As we lookup up the VMA, we
try and bind it back into active location. Only if that fails, do we add
it to the unbound list for phase 2. In phase 2, we try and add all those
objects that could not fit into their previous location, with fallback
to retrying all objects and evicting the VM in case of severe
fragmentation. (This is the same as before, except that phase 1 is now
done inline with looking up the VMA to avoid an iteration over the
execobject array. In the ideal case, we eliminate the separate reservation
phase). During the reservation phase, we only evict from the VM between
passes (rather than currently as we try to fit every new VMA). In
testing with Unreal Engine's Atlantis demo which stresses the eviction
logic on gen7 class hardware, this speed up the framerate by a factor of
2.
The second loop amalgamation is between move_to_gpu and move_to_active.
As we always submit the request, even if incomplete, we can use the
current request to track active VMA as we perform the flushes and
synchronisation required.
The next big advancement is to avoid copying back to the user any
execobjects and relocations that are not changed.

The advent of full-ppgtt lead to an extra indirection between the object
and its binding. That extra indirection has a noticeable impact on how
fast we can convert from the user handles to our internal vma for
execbuffer. In order to bypass the extra indirection, we use a
resizable hashtable to jump from the object to the per-ctx vma.
rhashtable was considered but we don't need the online resizing feature
and the extra complexity proved to undermine its usefulness. Instead, we
simply reallocate the hastable on demand in a background task and
serialize it before iterating.
In non-full-ppgtt modes, multiple files and multiple contexts can share
the same vma. This leads to having multiple possible handle->vma links,
so we only use the first to establish the fast path. The majority of
buffers are not shared and so we should still be able to realise
speedups with multiple clients.
