Across the many users of the GGTT vma (internal objects, mmapings, display etc), we may end up with conflicting requirements for the placement. Currently, we try to resolve the conflict by unbinding the vma and rebinding it to match the new constraints; over time we will end up with a GGTT that matches the most strict constraints over all concurrent users. However, this causes a problem if the vma is currently in use as we must wait until it is idle before moving it. But there is no restriction on the number of views we may use (apart from the limited size of the GGTT itself), and so if the active vma does not meet our requirements, try and build a new one!

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.
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.
