Our existing behaviour is to allow contexts and their GPU requests to
persist past the point of closure until the requests are complete. This
allows clients to operate in a 'fire-and-forget' manner where they can
setup a rendering pipeline and hand it over to the display server and
immediately exit. As the rendering pipeline is kept alive until
completion, the display server (or other consumer) can use the results
in the future and present them to the user.
The compute model is a little different. They have little to no buffer
sharing between processes as their kernels tend to operate on a
continuous stream, feeding the results back to the client application.
These kernels operate for an indeterminate length of time, with many
clients wishing that the kernel was always running for as long as they
keep feeding in the data, i.e. acting like a DSP.
Not all clients want this persistent "desktop" behaviour and would prefer
that the contexts are cleaned up immediately upon closure. This ensures
that when clients are run without hangchecking (e.g. for compute kernels
of indeterminate runtime), any GPU hang or other unexpected workloads
are terminated with the process and does not continue to hog resources.
The default behaviour for new contexts is the legacy persistence mode,
as some desktop applications are dependent upon the existing behaviour.
New clients will have to opt in to immediate cleanup on context
closure. If the hangchecking modparam is disabled, so is persistent
context support -- all contexts will be terminated on closure.
We expect this behaviour change to be welcomed by compute users, who
have often been caught between a rock and a hard place. They disable
hangchecking to avoid their kernels being "unfairly" declared hung, but
have also experienced true hangs that the system was then unable to
clean up. Naturally, this leads to bug reports.

With the introduction of ctx->engines[] we allow multiple logical
contexts to be used on the same engine (e.g. with virtual engines).
According to bspec, aach logical context requires a unique tag in order
for context-switching to occur correctly between them. [Simple
experiments show that it is not so easy to trick the HW into performing
a lite-restore with matching logical IDs, though my memory from early
Broadwell experiments do suggest that it should be generating
lite-restores.]
We only need to keep a unique tag for the active lifetime of the
context, and for as long as we need to identify that context. The HW
uses the tag to determine if it should use a lite-restore (why not the
LRCA?) and passes the tag back for various status identifies. The only
status we need to track is for OA, so when using perf, we assign the
specific context a unique tag.
v2: Calculate required number of tags to fill ELSP.

Replace the struct_mutex requirement for pinning the i915_vma with the
local vm->mutex instead. Note that the vm->mutex is tainted by the
shrinker (we require unbinding from inside fs-reclaim) and so we cannot
allocate while holding that mutex. Instead we have to preallocate
workers to do allocate and apply the PTE updates after we have we
reserved their slot in the drm_mm (using fences to order the PTE writes
with the GPU work and with later unbind).
In adding the asynchronous vma binding, one subtle requirement is to
avoid coupling the binding fence into the backing object->resv. That is
the asynchronous binding only applies to the vma timeline itself and not
to the pages as that is a more global timeline (the binding of one vma
does not need to be ordered with another vma, nor does the implicit GEM
fencing depend on a vma, only on writes to the backing store). Keeping
the vma binding distinct from the backing store timelines is verified by
a number of async gem_exec_fence and gem_exec_schedule tests. The way we
do this is quite simple, we keep the fence for the vma binding separate
and only wait on it as required, and never add it to the obj->resv
itself.
Another consequence in reducing the locking around the vma is the
destruction of the vma is no longer globally serialised by struct_mutex.
A natural solution would be to add a kref to i915_vma, but that requires
decoupling the reference cycles, possibly by introducing a new
i915_mm_pages object that is own by both obj->mm and vma->pages.
However, we have not taken that route due to the overshadowing lmem/ttm
discussions, and instead play a series of complicated games with
trylocks to (hopefully) ensure that only one destruction path is called!
v2: Add some commentary, and some helpers to reduce patch churn.

Currently, if there is time remaining before the start of the loop, we
do one full iteration over many possible different chunks within the
object. A full loop may take 50+s (depending on speed of indirect GTT
mmapings) and we try separately with LINEAR, X and Y -- at which point
igt times out. If we check more frequently, we will interrupt the loop
upon our timeout -- it is hard to argue for as this significantly reduces
the test coverage as we dramatically reduce the runtime. In practical
terms, the coverage we should prioritise is in using different fence
setups, forcing verification of the tile row computations over the
current preference of checking extracting chunks. Though the exhaustive
search is great given an infinite timeout, to improve our current
coverage, we also add a randomised smoketest of partial mmaps. So let's
do both, add a randomised smoketest of partial tiling chunks and the
exhaustive (though time limited) search for failures.
Even in adding another subtest, we should shave 100s off BAT! (With,
hopefully, no loss in coverage, at least over multiple runs.)
