By using the recently introduced pinning of pages, we can safely drop the mutex in the knowledge that the pages are not going to disappear jeneath us, and so we can simplify the code for iterating over the pages. Note: The old code had such complicated page refcounting since it used obj->pages as a micro-optimization if it's there, but that could (before this patch) disappear when we drop the dev->struct_mutex. Hence some manual page refcounting was required for the slow path, complicated by the fact that pages returned by shmem_read_mapping_page already have a pageref, which needs to be dropped again.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation

http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/
