Tina Zhang 6b3816d696 drm/i915/gvt: Fix guest i915 full ppgtt blocking issue
Guest i915 full ppgtt functionality was blocking by an issue, which would
lead to gpu hardware hang. Guest i915 driver may update the ppgtt table
just before this workload is going to be submitted to the hardware by
device model. This case wasn't handled well by device model before, due
to the small time window between removing old ppgtt entry and adding the
new one. Errors occur when the workload is executed by hardware during
that small time window. This patch is to remove this time window by adding
the new ppgtt entry first and then remove the old one.

Changes in v2:
- Move VGT_CAPS_FULL_PPGTT introduction to patch 2/4. (Joonas)

Changes since v2:
- Divide the whole patch set into two separate patch series, with one
  patch in i915 side to check guest i915 full ppgtt capability and enable
  it when this capability is supported by the device model, and the other
  one in gvt side which fixs the blocking issue and enables the device
  model to provide the capability to guest. And this patch focuses on gvt
  side. (Joonas)
- Change the title from "reorder the shadow ppgtt update process by adding
  entry first" to "Fix guest i915 full ppgtt blocking issue". (Tina)

Changes since v3:
- Rebase to the latest branch.

Changes since v4:
- Tested by Tina Zhang.

Changes since v5:
- Rebase to the latest branch.

v6:
- Update full 48bit ppgtt definition

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.
