drm/i915: Remove partial attempt to swizzle on pread/pwrite
Our attempt to account for bit17 swizzling of pread/pwrite onto tiled objects was flawed due to the simple fact that we do not always know the swizzling for a particular page (due to the swizzling varying based on location in certain unbalanced configurations). Furthermore, the pread/pwrite paths are now unbalanced in that we are required to use the GTT as in some cases we do not have direct CPU access to the backing physical pages (thus some paths trying to account for the swizzle, but others neglecting, chaos ensues). There are no known users who do use pread/pwrite into a tiled object (you need to manually detile anyway, so why now just use mmap and avoid the copy?) and no user bug reports to indicate that it is being used in the wild. As no one is hitting the buggy path, we can just remove the buggy code. v2: Just use the fault allowing kmap() + normal copy_(to|from)_user v3: Avoid int overflow in computing 'length' from 'remain' (Tvrtko) References: fe115628 ("drm/i915: Implement pwrite without struct-mutex") Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Acked-by: Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190105120758.9237-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
