Hm so VMAs get unlinked from everywhere, but then on retire goes
back to inactive. Is it not a bit weird?
Very weird. In the end, I have to stop unlinking in i915_vma_close()
from the vm lists.
Why it is needed to unlink VMAs from everywhere when marking them as closed?
Indeed, it was just to try and keep this walk short. But I realised that
this would actually also foul up the evict/shrinker (by hiding objects
from them that should be thrown away).
And actually on retire objects are ahead of VMAs in the
req->active_list so the last object unreference happens before the
last vma is retired, which is even weirder.
Am I missing something?
That shouldn't happen. The i915_gem_object_retire_read is run after the
i915_vma_retire.
I had added some commentary to i915_vma_move_to_active() that hopefully
explains the interdependences between retire callbacks (mostly to try
and prevent breakage later).

I don't know how I concluded active VMA is after the active object, and
I specifically saw the order and list_move.
Again, very good to document that, so something good at least came out
of it. :)
