vms are not getting properly closed. Rather than fixing that, Remove the vm open count and instead rely on the vm refcount. The vm open count existed solely to break the strong references the vmas had on the vms. Now instead make those references weak and ensure vmas are destroyed when the vm is destroyed. Unfortunately if the vm destructor and the object destructor both wants to destroy a vma, that may lead to a race in that the vm destructor just unbinds the vma and leaves the actual vma destruction to the object destructor. However in order for the object destructor to ensure the vma is unbound it needs to grab the vm mutex. In order to keep the vm mutex alive until the object destructor is done with it, somewhat hackishly grab a vm_resv refcount that is released late in the vma destruction process, when the vm mutex is no longer needed. v2: Address review-comments from Niranjana - Clarify that the struct i915_address_space::skip_pte_rewrite is a hack and should ideally be replaced in an upcoming patch. - Remove an unneeded continue in clear_vm_list and update comment. v3: - Documentation update - Commit message formatting Co-developed-by: Niranjana Vishwanathapura <niranjana.vishwanathapura@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Niranjana Vishwanathapura <niranjana.vishwanathapura@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Niranjana Vishwanathapura <niranjana.vishwanathapura@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220304082641.308069-2-thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com |

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.
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.
