Commit 9bb66c179f50 ("drm/i915: Reserve some kernel space per vm") has reserved an object for kernel space usage.

Userspace, though, needs to know the full address range.

In the former patch the reserved space was substructed from the total amount of the VM space. Add it back when the user requests the GTT size through ioctl (I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_GTT_SIZE).

Hi,

Just proposing a different implementation that doesn't affect i915 internally but provides the same result. Instead of not substracting the space during the reservation, I add it back during the ioctl call.

All the "vm->rsvd.vma->node.size" looks a bit ugly,

Yes, this need document and also vm->total should be vm->total and may be we should have

vm->usable which will be used by kernel internal and return vm->total.

For me, I am fine with the kernel change as long as UMD is aware/fine of side-effect if

UMD ended up using the reserved page. Basically we need to document this well :)

Also may be we should limit this reserving page only on platform where it is required ?

Regards,

Nirmoy

but that's how it is. Maybe a comment can help to understand better why there is this addition.

I kept the Ack from Michal and Lionel, because the outcome from userspace perspactive doesn't really change.
