[PATCH v6 4/8] drm/xe: Fix up BO TTM priority for late VM binds

Message-ID <[email protected]>
A BO's TTM priority is only ever set once, at creation time, based on
the priority band of exec queues attached to its VM at that moment
(xe_vm_bo_priority()), or XE_BO_PRIORITY_HIGHEST for an extobj not
tied to any single VM. This misses the common flow of VM create -> BO
create -> exec queue create -> VM bind: the BO is created before any
exec queue exists on the VM (so it gets XE_BO_PRIORITY_HIGH, the "no
exec queues yet" default), the exec queue is added afterwards
(xe_vm_add_exec_queue() only re-prioritizes BOs already bound to the
VM at that time), and only then is the BO bound into the VM via
VM_BIND, leaving it stuck at a stale priority that no longer reflects
the VM's exec queues.

It also misses a second flow specific to extobjs: create BO with no
vm_id (bo->vm == NULL) -> bind -> unbind -> rebind. The unbind can
lower the BO's priority to XE_BO_PRIORITY_LOW once it has no VMA
mappings left anywhere (see xe_vma_destroy()), but on rebind nothing
brought it back up, leaving a still-useful, freshly rebound extobj
stuck at the lowest priority, an easy target for eviction/shrinking.

Add xe_vma_update_bo_priority(), called from op_update_bo_priority()
for each DRM_GPUVA_OP_MAP operation in vm_bind_ioctl_ops_fini(). For a
BO private to the VM being bound (bo->vm == vm), recompute the current
priority band via xe_vm_bo_priority() and, if it differs, update
bo->ttm.priority and move the BO to the tail of its new priority's LRU
list. For an extobj (bo->vm == NULL, potentially shared with other
VMs), instead restore it directly to XE_BO_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, since it
is now in active use again and extobjs aren't tied to any single VM's
exec queue priority band.

This must only run while the BO's dma-resv is locked and the BO has
been (re)validated: some MAP ops never lock or validate the BO at bind
time at all, e.g. invalidate_on_bind ops, or ops on a fault-mode VM
whose bind is deferred to the page fault handler
(vma_lock_and_validate()'s "validate" flag is false). Track whether a
given MAP op actually locked and validated its BO in the new
op->map.is_validated flag, set in op_lock_and_prep(), and skip the
priority update entirely in op_update_bo_priority() when it is not
set. To still cover the deferred-validation, fault-mode case, also call
xe_vma_update_bo_priority() from xe_pagefault_handle_vma(), right after
a successful xe_vma_rebind(), where the BO has just been locked and
validated (or intentionally left unvalidated for DONTNEED/purged BOs)
via xe_pagefault_begin().
