drm/i915: Allocate a common scratch page
Currently we allocate a scratch page for each engine, but since we only ever write into it for post-sync operations, it is not exposed to userspace nor do we care for coherency. As we then do not care about its contents, we can use one page for all, reducing our allocations and avoid complications by not assuming per-engine isolation. For later use, it simplifies engine initialisation (by removing the allocation that required struct_mutex!) and means that we can always rely on there being a scratch page. v2: Check that we allocated a large enough scratch for I830 w/a Fixes: 06e562e7f515 ("drm/i915/ringbuffer: Delay after EMIT_INVALIDATE for gen4/gen5") # v4.18.20 Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108850 Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Cc: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20181204141522.13640-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.18.20+
