mainlining shenanigans
d1b48c1e71
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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
