Hello,
This patchset introduces memory shrinker for the VirtIO-GPU DRM driver. During OOM, the shrinker will release BOs that are marked as "not needed" by userspace using the new madvise IOCTL, it will also evict idling BOs to SWAP. The userspace in this case is the Mesa VirGL driver, it will mark the cached BOs as "not needed", allowing kernel driver to release memory of the cached shmem BOs on lowmem situations, preventing OOM kills.
This patchset adds memory purging and eviction support to VirtIO-GPU driver.
The Panfrost driver is switched to use generic memory shrinker. Eviction support will come later on, after resolving the blocker bug in Panfrost.
This patchset also includes couple improvements and fixes for various minor things that I found while was working on the shrinker.
The Mesa and IGT patches will be kept on hold until this kernel series will be approved and merged.
This patchset was tested using Qemu and crosvm, including both cases of IOMMU off/on.

Changelog:
v4: - Corrected minor W=1 warnings reported by kernel test robot for v3.
- Renamed DRM_GEM_SHMEM_PAGES_STATE_ACTIVE/INACTIVE to PINNED/UNPINNED, for more clarity.
v3: - Hardened shrinker's count() with usage of READ_ONCE() since we don't use atomic type for counting and technically compiler is free to re-fetch counter's variable.
- "Correct drm_gem_shmem_get_sg_table() error handling" now uses PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(), fixing typo that was made in v2.
- Removed obsoleted shrinker from the Panfrost driver, which I missed to do in v2 by accident and Alyssa Rosenzweig managed to notice it.
- CCed stable kernels in all patches that make fixes, even the minor ones, like was suggested by Emil Velikov and added his r-b to the patches.
- Added t-b from Steven Price to the Panfrost's shrinker patch.
- Corrected doc-comment of drm_gem_shmem_object.madv, like was suggested by Steven Price. Comment now says that madv=1 means "object is purged" instead of saying that value is unused.
- Added more doc-comments to the new shmem shrinker API.
- The "Improve DMA API usage for shmem BOs" patch got more improvements by removing the obsoleted drm_dev_set_unique() quirk and its comment.
- Added patch that makes Virtio-GPU driver to use common dev_is_pci() helper, which was suggested by Robin Murphy.
- Added new "drm/shmem-helper: Take GEM reservation lock instead of drm_gem_shmem locks" patch, which was suggested by Daniel Vetter.
- Added new "drm/virtio: Simplify error handling of virtio_gpu_object_create()" patch.
- Improved "Correct doc-comment of drm_gem_shmem_get_sg_table()" patch, like was suggested by Daniel Vetter, by saying that function returns ERR_PTR() and not errno.
- virtio_gpu_purge_object() is fenced properly now, turned out virtio_gpu_notify() doesn't do fencing as I was supposing before. Stress testing of memory eviction revealed that.
- Added new patch that corrects virtio_gpu_plane_cleanup_fb() to use appropriate atomic plane state.
- SHMEM shrinker got eviction support.
- VirtIO-GPU driver now supports memory eviction. It's enabled for a non-blob GEMs only, i.e. for VirGL. The blobs don't support dynamic attaching/detaching of guest's memory, so it's not trivial to enable them.
- Added patch that removes obsoleted drm_gem_shmem_purge()
- Added patch that makes drm_gem_shmem_get_pages() private.
- Added patch that fixes lockup on dma_resv_reserve_fences() error.
v2: - Improved shrinker by using a more fine-grained locking to reduce contention during scan of objects and dropped locking from the 'counting' callback by tracking count of shrinkable pages. This was suggested by Rob Clark in the comment to v1.
- Factored out common shrinker code into drm_gem_shmem_helper.c and switched Panfrost driver to use the new common memory shrinker. This was proposed by Thomas Zimmermann in his prototype series that he shared with us in the comment to v1. Note that I only compile-tested the Panfrost driver.
- Shrinker now takes object_name_lock during scan to prevent racing with dma-buf exporting.
- Shrinker now takes vmap_lock during scan to prevent racing with shmem vmap/unmap code.
- Added "Correct doc-comment of drm_gem_shmem_get_sg_table()" patch, which I sent out previously as a standalone change, since the drm_gem_shmem_helper.c is now touched by this patchset anyways and it doesn't hurt to group all the patches together.
