In the past, vGPU alloc fence registers by walking through mm.fence_list to find fence which pin_count = 0 and vma is empty. vGPU may not find enough fence registers this way. Because a fence can be bind to vma even though it is not in using. We have found such failure many times these days. An option to resolve this issue is that we can force-remove fence from vma in this case. This patch added two new api to the fence management code: - i915_reserve_fence() will try to find a free fence from fence_list and force-remove vma if need. - i915_unreserve_fence() reclaim a reserved fence after vGPU has finished. With this change, the fence management is more clear to work with vGPU. GVTg do not need remove fence from fence_list in private. v3: (Chris) - Add struct_mutex lock assertion. - Only count for unpinned fence. v2: (Chris) - Rename the new api for symmetry. - Add safeguard to ensure at least 1 fence remained for host display.

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.
