Nicolai Hähnle 23e0563e48 drm/amdgpu: clear freed mappings immediately when BO may be freed
Also, add the fence of the clear operations to the BO to ensure that
the underlying memory can only be re-used after all PTEs pointing to
it have been cleared.

This avoids the following sequence of events that could be triggered
by user space:

1. Submit a CS that accesses some BO _without_ adding that BO to the
   buffer list.
2. Free that BO.
3. Some other task re-uses the memory underlying the BO.
4. The CS is submitted to the hardware and accesses memory that is
   now already in use by somebody else.

By clearing the page tables immediately in step 2, a GPU VM fault will
be triggered in step 4 instead of wild memory accesses.

v2: use amdgpu_bo_fence directly

README

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.
