[RFC] drm/vgem: Don't use get_page in fault handler.

[Lepton Wu <ytht.net@gmail.com>]

For pages which are allocated in ttm with transparent huge pages,
tail pages have zero as reference count. The current vgem code use
get_page on them and it will trigger BUG when release_pages get called
on those pages later.

Here I attach the minimal code to trigger this bug on a qemu VM which
enables virtio gpu (card1) and vgem (card0). BTW, since the upstream
virtio gpu has changed to use drm gem and moved away from ttm. So we
have to use an old kernel like 5.4 to reproduce it. But I guess
same thing could happen for a real GPU if the real GPU use similar code
path to allocate pages from ttm. I am not sure about two things: first, do we
need to fix this? will a real GPU hit this code path? Second, suppose this
need to be fixed, should this be fixed in ttm side or vgem side?  If we remove
"huge_flags &= ~__GFP_COMP" from ttm_get_pages, then get_page in vgem works
fine. But it's there for fix another bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103138
It could also be "fixed" with this patch. But I am really not sure if this is
the way to go.

Here is the code to reproduce this bug:

unsigned int WIDTH = 1024;
unsigned int HEIGHT = 513;
unsigned int size = WIDTH * HEIGHT * 4;

int work(int vfd, int dfd, int handle) {
	int ret;
	struct drm_prime_handle hf = {.handle =  handle };
	ret = ioctl(dfd, DRM_IOCTL_PRIME_HANDLE_TO_FD, &hf);
	fprintf(stderr, "fd is %d\n", hf.fd);
	hf.flags = DRM_CLOEXEC | DRM_RDWR;
	ret = ioctl(vfd, DRM_IOCTL_PRIME_FD_TO_HANDLE, &hf);
	fprintf(stderr, "new handle is %d\n", hf.handle);
	struct drm_mode_map_dumb map = {.handle = hf.handle };
	ret = ioctl(vfd, DRM_IOCTL_MODE_MAP_DUMB, &map);
	fprintf(stderr, "need map at offset %lld\n", map.offset);
	unsigned char * ptr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, vfd,
			  map.offset);
	memset(ptr, 2, size);
	munmap(ptr, size);
}

int main()
{
	int vfd = open("/dev/dri/card0", O_RDWR); // vgem
	int dfd = open("/dev/dri/card1", O_RDWR); // virtio gpu

	int ret;
        struct drm_mode_create_dumb ct = {};

	ct.height = HEIGHT;
	ct.width = WIDTH;
	ct.bpp = 32;
	ret = ioctl(dfd, DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB, &ct);
	work(vfd, dfd, ct.handle);
	fprintf(stderr, "done\n");
}
