* drm/doc: add rfc section for small BAR uapiMatthew Auld2022-07-013-0/+240
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an entry for the new uapi needed for small BAR on DG2+. v2: - Some spelling fixes and other small tweaks. (Akeem & Thomas) - Rework error capture interactions, including no longer needing NEEDS_CPU_ACCESS for objects marked for capture. (Thomas) - Add probed_cpu_visible_size. (Lionel) v3: - Drop the vma query for now. - Add unallocated_cpu_visible_size as part of the region query. - Improve the docs some more, including documenting the expected behaviour on older kernels, since this came up in some offline discussion. v4: - Various improvements all over. (Tvrtko) v5: - Include newer integrated platforms when applying the non-recoverable context and error capture restriction.

* drm/doc/rfc: drop lmem uapi sectionDaniel Vetter2021-08-111-109/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We still have quite a bit more work to do with overall reworking of the ttm-based dg1 code, but the uapi stuff is now finalized with the latest pull. So remove that. This also fixes kerneldoc build warnings because we've included the same headers in two places, resulting in sphinx complaining about duplicated symbols. This regression has been created when we moved the uapi definitions to the real include/uapi/ folder in 727ecd99a4c9 ("drm/doc/rfc: drop the i915_gem_lmem.h header") v2: Fix a few references that I missed, the htmldocs build took forever.
