This patch series prepares error capture for asynchronous migration, where the vma pages may not reflect the pages the GPU is currently executing from but may be several migrations ahead.
The first patch deals with refcounting sg-list so that they don't disappear under the capture code, which typically otherwise happens at put_pages() time.
The second patch introduces vma state snapshots that record the vma state at request submission time. It also updates the memory allocation mode to reflect that error capture may and will happen in the dma-fence signalling critical path, and finally takes additional measures to make sure that the capture list and request is not disappearing from under us while capturing. The latter may otherwise happen if a heartbeat triggered parallel capture is running during a manual reset which retires the request.
Finally the last patch is more of a POC patch and not strictly needed yet, but will be (or at least something very similar) soon for async unbinding. It will make sure that unbinding doesn't complete or signal completion before capture is done. Async reuse of memory can't happen until unbinding signals complete and without waiting for capture done, we might capture contents of reused memory. Before the last patch the vma active is instead still keeping the vma alive, but that will not work with async unbinding anymore, and also it is still not clear how we guarantee keeping the vma alive long enough to even grab an active reference during capture.
