drm/i915: Remove bitmap tracking for used-ptes
Due to a race with the shrinker, when we try to allocate a pagetable, we
may end up shrinking it instead. This comes as a nasty surprise as we
try to dereference it to fill in the pagetable entries for the object.
In linus/master this is fixed by pinning the pagetables prior to
allocation, but that backport is roughly
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c | 10 ----------
1 file changed, 10 deletions(-)
i.e. unsuitable for stable. Instead we neuter the code that tried to
free the pagetables.
