drm/i915: Refine VT-d scanout workaround

Browse source

VT-d may cause overfetch of the scanout PTE, both before and after the
vma (depending on the scanout orientation). bspec recommends that we
provide a tile-row in either directions, and suggests using 168 PTE,
warning that the accesses will wrap around the ends of the GGTT.
Currently, we fill the entire GGTT with scratch pages when using VT-d to
always ensure there are valid entries around every vma, including
scanout. However, writing every PTE is slow as on recent devices we
perform 8MiB of uncached writes, incurring an extra 100ms during resume.

If instead we focus on only putting guard pages around scanout, we can
avoid touching the whole GGTT. To avoid having to introduce extra nodes
around each scanout vma, we adjust the scanout drm_mm_node to be smaller
than the allocated space, and fixup the extra PTE during dma binding.
