Allows multiple references to a single object, needed to support PCI(E)GART
scatter-gather DMA objects which would quickly fill PRAMIN if each channel
had its own.
Handle per-channel private instmem areas. This is needed to support NV50,
but might be something we want to do on earlier chipsets at some point?
Everything that touches PRAMIN is a GPU object.
Two large blocks of code were moved out of this function into separate
functions. This brought some much needed sanity to the indentation.
Some dead varaibles were removed.
Dave Airlie pointed out on IRC that idr_replace lets us know if the ID hasn't
been allocated, so we don't need a special pointer value for allocated IDs that
don't have valid information yet.
There's a difference between a drawable ID not having valid drawable
information and not being allocated at all. Not making the distinction would
break i915 DRM swap scheduling with older X servers that don't push drawable
cliprect information to the DRM.
The whole purpose of xgi_pcie_heap_check is to log information about
entries on the used_list. If XGI_DEBUG is not set, it doesn't print
anything. Therefore we can #ifdef the whole function body.
Convert open-code list iteration to use list_for_each_entry.
Comment in the code explains it. Basically, I put an if-statement
around a block of code to prevent a NULL pointer dereference that
should never happen in the first place. Eventually, this will need to
come out.
This function used to return 'void *', which was then cast to
'xgi_pcie_block_t *' at the only caller. I changed the return type to
'struct xgi_pcie_block_s *' and removed the explicit cast.
For various reasons, this ioctl was a bad idea.
At channel creation we now automatically create DMA objects covering
available VRAM and GART memory, where the client used to do this themselves.
However, there is still a need to be able to create DMA objects pointing at
specific areas of memory (ie. notifiers). Each channel is now allocated a
small amount of memory from which a client can suballocate things (such as
notifiers), and have a DMA object created which covers the suballocated area.
The NOTIFIER_ALLOC ioctl exposes this functionality.
