There is an interesting refcounting loop:
struct intel_memory_region has a struct ttm_resource_manager,
ttm_resource_manager->move may hold a reference to i915_request,
i915_request may hold a reference to intel_context,
intel_context may hold a reference to drm_i915_gem_object,
drm_i915_gem_object may hold a reference to intel_memory_region.
Break this loop by dropping region reference counting.
In addition, Have regions with a manager moving fence make sure
that all region objects are released before freeing the region.

As we start to introduce asynchronous failsafe object migration,
where we update the object state and then submit asynchronous
commands we need to record what memory resources are actually used
by various part of the command stream. Initially for three purposes:
1) Error capture.
2) Asynchronous migration error recovery.
3) Asynchronous vma bind.
At the time where these happens, the object state may have been updated
to be several migrations ahead and object sg-tables discarded.
In order to make it possible to keep sg-tables with memory resource
information for these operations, introduce refcounted sg-tables that
aren't freed until the last user is done with them.
The alternative would be to reference information sitting on the
corresponding ttm_resources which typically have the same lifetime as
these refcountes sg_tables, but that leads to other awkward constructs:
Due to the design direction chosen for ttm resource managers that would
lead to diamond-style inheritance, the LMEM resources may sometimes be
prematurely freed, and finally the subclassed struct ttm_resource would
have to bleed into the asynchronous vma bind code.

For cached objects we can allocate our pages directly in shmem. This
should make it possible(in a later patch) to utilise the existing
i915-gem shrinker code for such objects. For now this is still disabled.
v2(Thomas):
- Add optional try_to_writeback hook for objects. Importantly we need
to check if the object is even still shrinkable; in between us
dropping the shrinker LRU lock and acquiring the object lock it could for
example have been moved. Also we need to differentiate between
"lazy" shrinking and the immediate writeback mode. Also later we need to
handle objects which don't even have mm.pages, so bundling this into
put_pages() would require somehow handling that edge case, hence
just letting the ttm backend handle everything in try_to_writeback
doesn't seem too bad.
v3(Thomas):
- Likely a bad idea to touch the object from the unpopulate hook,
since it's not possible to hold a reference, without also creating
circular dependency, so likely this is too fragile. For now just
ensure we at least mark the pages as dirty/accessed when called from the
shrinker on WILLNEED objects.
- s/try_to_writeback/shrinker_release_pages, since this can do more
than just writeback.
- Get rid of do_backup boolean and just set the SWAPPED flag prior to
calling unpopulate.
- Keep shmem_tt as lowest priority for the TTM LRU bo_swapout walk, since
these just get skipped anyway. We can try to come up with something
better later.
v4(Thomas):
- s/PCI_DMA/DMA/. Also drop NO_KERNEL_MAPPING and NO_WARN, which
apparently doesn't do anything with streaming mappings.
- Just pass along the error for ->truncate, and assume nothing.

Break out some shmem backend utils for future reuse by the TTM backend:
shmem_alloc_st(), shmem_free_st() and __shmem_writeback() which we can
use to provide a shmem-backed TTM page pool for cached-only TTM
buffer objects.
Main functional change here is that we now compute the page sizes using
the dma segments rather than using the physical page address segments.

EHL and JSL add the 'Bypass LLC' MOCS entry, which should make it
possible for userspace to bypass the GTT caching bits set by the kernel,
as per the given object cache_level. This is troublesome since the heavy
flush we apply when first acquiring the pages is skipped if the kernel
thinks the object is coherent with the GPU. As a result it might be
possible to bypass the cache and read the contents of the page directly,
which could be stale data. If it's just a case of userspace shooting
themselves in the foot then so be it, but since i915 takes the stance of
always zeroing memory before handing it to userspace, we need to prevent
this.
v2: this time actually set cache_dirty in put_pages()
v3: move to get_pages() which looks simpler

For some specialised objects we might need something larger than the
regions min_page_size due to some hw restriction, and slightly more
hairy is needing something smaller with the guarantee that such objects
will never be inserted into any GTT, which is the case for the paging
structures.
This also fixes how we setup the BO page_alignment, if we later migrate
the object somewhere else. For example if the placements are {SMEM,
LMEM}, then we might get this wrong. Pushing the min_page_size behaviour
into the manager should fix this.
v2(Thomas): push the default page size behaviour into buddy_man, and let
the user override it with the page-alignment, which looks cleaner

For discrete, use TTM for both cached and WC system memory. That means
we currently rely on the TTM memory accounting / shrinker. For cached
system memory we should consider remaining shmem-backed, which can be
implemented from our ttm_tt_populate callback. We can then also reuse our
own very elaborate shrinker for that memory.
If an object is evicted to a gem allowable region, we will now consider
the object migrated, and we flip the gem region and move the object to a
different region list. Since we are now changing gem regions, we can't
any longer rely on the CONTIGUOUS flag being set based on the region
min page size, so remove that flag update. If we want to reintroduce it,
we need to put it in the mutable flags.

The obj->stolen is currently used to identify an object allocated from
stolen memory. This dates back to when there were just 1.5 types of
objects, an object backed by shmemfs and an object backed by shmemfs
with a contiguous physical address. Now that we have several different
types of objects, we no longer want to treat stolen objects as a special
case.

Since reservation_object_fini() does an immediate free, rather than
kfree_rcu as normal, we have to delay the release until after the RCU
grace period has elapsed (i.e. from the rcu cleanup callback) so that we
can rely on the RCU protected access to the fences while the object is a
zombie.
i915_gem_busy_ioctl relies on having an RCU barrier to protect the
reservation in order to avoid having to take a reference and strong
memory barriers.

Currently the purgeable objects, I915_MADV_DONTNEED, are mixed in the
normal bound/unbound lists. Every shrinker pass starts with an attempt
to purge from this set of unneeded objects, which entails us doing a
walk over both lists looking for any candidates. If there are none, and
since we are shrinking we can reasonably assume that the lists are
full!, this becomes a very slow futile walk.
If we separate out the purgeable objects into own list, this search then
becomes its own phase that is preferentially handled during shrinking.
Instead the cost becomes that we then need to filter the purgeable list
if we want to distinguish between bound and unbound objects.
