Use partial view for huge BOs (bigger than half the mappable aperture)
in fault handler so that they can be accessed withough trying to make
room for them by evicting other objects.

This isn't what I was imagining.

I was expecting to see error handling inside the fault path if we could
not pin the object. This way we could handle fragmentation or display
objects pinned outside the aperture.

After discussion with Daniel, the idea was dropped due to high amount of
trashing which would occur if each object would be attempted to fit to
the mappable aperture for each fault to that object.

An alternate path could be added to mark an object partially_mappable if
mapping it normally fails, then further attempts could be skipped to
avoid the trashing. But it is still questionable if an object close to
the whole aperture size should be attempted to map normally, which will
cause huge trashing if there are plenty of objects in the mappable
aperture (that problem existed before, if the object was just short of
the aperture size, it was attempted to be mapped).

The point is that we fail to install a partial view for pinned objects
outside of the aperture. Or did I miss how you handle them?

I would suggest try first with a PIN_MAPPABLE | PIN_NOEVICT then. You
can limit thrashing by a vma->release callback to only zap the PTE
mapping into that vma. Also remember to destroy all of the partial vma
when we zap the mapping for an object.

Just treat the aperture as first come first served, with perhaps a
reservation of the first 256k for transient partial vma. Fix thrashing
when we a usecase that falls foul of the page-fault-of-doom, but first
try to write one. I think with a mru list of individually faulted vma
thrashing will be limited (i.e. no worse than current mru eviction and
possibly better albeit at a higher pagefault cost).

Also I found a usecase for temporarily mapping invidual pages:

That is true.

By changing the comparison to be against full aperture size, then the
patch will only bring new functionality to handle the cases when the
object was actually impossible to map previously (and was early
rejected).

I'd prefer to have this version in first (with change of removing the /2
from aperture size comparison), to get some feedback from the XenGT team
about the usability of it (speed-wise).

I will extend the series with fence calculation for tield partial view,
so I would consider this in the rework. Does that sound good?

Ack.

I have not peeked into execbuffers much, but looks quite
straightforward. Could use the partial views code if desired. Not sure
how effective it is for single pages.

No. Daniel rejected a change just because we didn't have this series,
only to find this series doesn't even provide the support Daniel
wanted...

I don't see this as a useful stepping point. The current users of large
objects do not map through the GTT.

Which change is that? If we're talking about the back-up path for failed
normal mapping, I can of course add the code for it, it will not cause
any worse trashing than it has before for objects smaller than aperture
size. Fancier logic to avoid trashing can be added later.

In XenGT, when the mappable aperture size is decreased due to slicing of
the aperture for different guests, it's not about large objects but
small aperture. And that is the reason why the feature was initially
implemented, and they've already been waiting for the feature for quite
a while.

All the series was intended to was to provide this support, so they can
proceed with testing with small aperture sizes. Everything else is
considered extra, and it was in the initial description of the task (by
either Jesse or Daniel) that half aperture size is most likely when the
current code will start to fail in real use cases.

I do not see why all possible features need to be implemented first to
get a useful feature for the XenGT team in. After all, before adding the
partial views, anything bigger than the mappable aperture was simply
rejected in mmap. So I do not follow the logic why the code path for
this case can not be added.

If some other change was not merged due to waiting for the partial views
support with more features than the code path for objects bigger than
aperture size, not merging the current code only causes two features to
keep waiting instead of just one. And as the XenGT team has been waiting
for the feature for months before the feature was even started on, I do
think it is not very reasonable.

The next revision will be started on immediately after this first one
has been merged, and intention is to keep this first one simple. Let me
know whatever feature is awaiting for the next revision, and I can take
it into consideration to have the support for that use case ready as
first priority.

Sorry, but the quickest fix for that would have been to add the aperture
information to GET_APERTURE, like I have previously said.
