drm/i915/gtt: Serialise both updates to PDE and our shadow
Currently, we perform a locked update of the shadow entry when allocating a page directory entry such that if two clients are concurrently allocating neighbouring ranges we only insert one new entry for the pair of them. However, we also need to serialise both clients wrt to the actual entry in the HW table, or else we may allow one client or even a third client to proceed ahead of the HW write. My handwave before was that under the _pathological_ condition we would see the scratch entry instead of the expected entry, causing a temporary glitch. That starvation condition will eventually show up in practice, so fix it. The reason for the previous cheat was to avoid having to free the extra allocation while under the spinlock. Now, we keep the extra entry allocated until the end instead. v2: Fix error paths for gen6 Fixes: 1d1b5490 ("drm/i915/gtt: Replace struct_mutex serialisation for allocation") Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Cc: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190617140426.7203-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
