Subject[PATCH 00/13] pwrite/pread rework
Date
Hi all,

I've finally managed to clean up my pwrite/pread rework. Major changes since the
first submission:
- fixed a bunch of bugs, some of them discovered by the intel-gpu-tools gem test
suite
- extracted the clflush helper into common drm code as suggested by Chris
Wilson.
- extended the prefault helpers in pagemap.h instead of rolling our own. Also
add a patch to not prefault for writes (which change the userspace memory)
before we're committed to the write. Both address issues raised by Keith
Packard.

Why this is cool stuff:
- fixes the spurious -EFAULTS when handing in a pointer to a gem gtt mappings.
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38115
- Kills a bunch of code by dropping the practically useless ranged cpu read
domain tracking and integrating the slow paths into the fast paths.
- Fixes pwrite/pread to use snooped cpu access on llc machines, hereby decently
speeding up microbenchmarks.
- Paves the way for further clever tricks to reduce pressure on the mappable gtt
area.

Reviews and comments highly welcome.

Yours, Daniel
