GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

this cycle has been fairly calm in etnaviv land with most of the action
happening on the userspace side.
Notable changes:
- Improvements to CONFIG option handling to make it harder for users to
shoot themselves in the foot due to kernel misconfiguration.
- Tweaked GEM object population, so that userspace can take considerate
action when memory allocation fails, rather than waking the raging OOM
killer beast.
* 'etnaviv/next' of https://git.pengutronix.de/git/lst/linux:
drm/etnaviv: switch GEM allocations to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
drm/etnaviv: don't fail GPU bind when CONFIG_THERMAL isn't enabled
drm/etnaviv: switch to drm_*{get,put} helpers
drm/etnaviv: select CMA and DMA_CMA if available
drm/etnaviv: populate GEM objects on cpu_prep
drm/etnaviv: reduce allocation failure message severity
drm/etnaviv: don't trigger OOM killer when page allocation fails
A relocation pointing to the last four bytes of a buffer can
legitimately happen in the case of small vertex buffers.

Daniel has requested this for some drm-intel-next work.
Now that drm_[cm]alloc* helpers are simple one line wrappers around
kvmalloc_array and drm_free_large is just kvfree alias we can drop
them and replace by their native forms.
This shouldn't introduce any functional change.

v3: Changed to work with fence returned from GPU submit.
The next patch will need the complete dma_fence, instead of just the seqno,
to create the sync_file in etnaviv_ioctl_gem_submit, in case an
out_fence_fd is requested.
The submit needs to hold a reference to the dma_fence, to avoid raceing
with the GPU completing the fence.

New patch in v3.
Loosely based on commit f0a42bb542 ("drm/msm: submit support for
in-fences"). Unfortunately, struct drm_etnaviv_gem_submit doesn't have
a flags field yet, so we have to extend the structure and trust that
drm_ioctl will clear the flags for us if an older userspace only submits
part of the struct.

There are 3 big benefits to suballocating a single big DMA buffer
for command submission:
1. Avoid hammering CMA. The old way of allocating and freeing a DMA
buffer for each submission was hitting some of the real slow
pathes in CMA, as this allocator was not designed for a concurrent
small buffers load.
2. Less TLB flushes on IOMMUv2. If a new command buffer is mapped into
the GPU address space the MMU TLBs need to be flushed. By having
one big buffer statically mapped to the GPU, a lot of those flushes
can be avoided.
3. No funky workarounds for GC3000. The FE TLB flush on GC3000 isn't
reliable. To work around that we tried to lay out the cmdbufs in
the GPU address space in a way to avoid this issue. This hasn't
always worked if the address space is crowded. A single statically
mapped buffer avoids the erratum completely.
