Currently, the wc-stash used for providing flushed WC pages ready for
constructing the page directories is assumed to be protected by the
struct_mutex. However, we want to remove this global lock and so must
install a replacement global lock for accessing the global wc-stash (the
per-vm stash continues to be guarded by the vm).
We need to push ahead on this patch due to an oversight in hastily
removing the struct_mutex guard around the igt_ppgtt_alloc selftest. No
matter, it will prove very useful (i.e. will be required) in the near
future.
v2: Restore the onstack stash so that we can drop the vm->mutex in
future across the allocation.
v3: Restore the lost pagevec_init of the onstack allocation, and repaint
function names.
v4: Reorder init so that we don't try and use i915_address_space before
it is ininitialised.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
