Previously we only accommodated having a vma pinned by a small number of users, with the maximum being pinned for use by the display engine. As such, we used a small bitfield only large enough to allow the vma to be pinned twice (for back/front buffers) in each scanout plane. Keeping the maximum permissible pin_count small allows us to quickly catch a potential leak. However, as we want to split a 4096B page into 64 different cachelines and pin each cacheline for use by a different timeline, we will exceed the current maximum permissible vma->pin_count and so time has come to enlarge it. Whilst we are here, try to pull together the similar bits: Address/layout specification: - bias, mappable, zone_4g: address limit specifiers - fixed: address override, limits still apply though - high: not strictly an address limit, but an address direction to search Search controls: - nonblock, nonfault, noevict v2: Rewrite the guideline comment on bit consumption.

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.
