Currently, each process holding an open TegraDRM channel reserves
for itself one of the limited number of hardware memory contexts.
Attempting to allocate a channel when all contexts are in use
results in failure.
While we cannot have more contexts than the hardware supports in
active use, idle channels don't necessarily need to have a backing
memory context. As such, in this patch, we add another layer
to allow hardware memory contexts to be "stolen away" by channels
that are in active use, from idle processes.
The way this is implemented, is by keeping track of memory
mappings on each abstracted memory context. If we need to
steal that memory context's backing hardware context, we unmap
everything from it and give it away. When that abstracted
memory context is needed again (re-activated), we attempt
to allocate or steal another hardware context and re-map
the previously unmapped buffers.
Unfortunately, this means additional overhead and unpredictability
at submit time. Submit can fail if we cannot re-allocate a
backing memory context. Future work includes a provision for
un-stealable backing hardware memory contexts for processes
requiring more determinism, as well as optimization and cosmetic
improvements.
