Chris Wilson 4a47765103 drm/i915: Keep physical cursors pinned while in use
The optimisation inherent in commit 6a2c4232ec ("drm/i915: Make the
physical object coherent with GTT") relies on that once we allocated a
cursor we would have coherent, zero overhead access to the scanout plane
holding the cursor. That is we could then do the very frequent cursor
updates X enjoys with no indirection or kernel involvement. However,
that all hinges on the GGTT mmap of the cursor being pinned and not
require refaulting on each access -- handling such a page fault likely
requires the busy GGTT to be rearranged causing a stall. A very simple
fix is then to handle the physical cursor exactly like other cursors and
keep its vma pinned while active.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
