The capture code is typically run entirely in the fence signalling critical path. Recently added lockdep annotation reveals a lockdep splat similar to the below one.
Fix the splats and the associated potential deadlocks using GFP_NOWAIT rather than GFP_KERNEL for memory allocation in the capture path. This has the potential drawback that capture might fail in situations with memory pressure.
Reliably being able to use GFP_KERNEL allocations during capture might require that we pin all relevant vmas first, then reset and retire the request, and finally capture and unpin.
