Chris Wilson be72615bcf drm/i915: Repeat unbinding during free if interrupted (v6)
If during the freeing of an object the unbind is interrupted by a system
call, which is quite possible if we have outstanding GPU writes that
must be flushed, the unbind is silently aborted. This still leaves the
AGP region and backing pages allocated, and perhaps more importantly,
the object remains upon the various lists exposing us to memory
corruption.

I think this is the cause behind the use-after-free, such as

  Bug 15664 - Graphics hang and kernel backtrace when starting Azureus
              with Compiz enabled
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15664

v2: Daniel Vetter reminded me that kernel space programming is never easy.
We cannot simply spin to clear the pending signal and so must deferred
the freeing of the object until later.
v3: Run from the top level retire requests.
v4: Tested with P(return -ERESTARTSYS)=.5 from i915_gem_do_wait_request()
v5: Rebase against Eric's for-linus tree.
v6: Refactor, split and add a comment about avoiding unbounded recursion.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
