Chris Wilson b9d126e75b drm/i915: Remove partial attempt to swizzle on pread/pwrite
Our attempt to account for bit17 swizzling of pread/pwrite onto tiled
objects was flawed due to the simple fact that we do not always know the
swizzling for a particular page (due to the swizzling varying based on
location in certain unbalanced configurations). Furthermore, the
pread/pwrite paths are now unbalanced in that we are required to use the
GTT as in some cases we do not have direct CPU access to the backing
physical pages (thus some paths trying to account for the swizzle, but
others neglecting, chaos ensues).

There are no known users who do use pread/pwrite into a tiled object
(you need to manually detile anyway, so why now just use mmap and avoid
the copy?) and no user bug reports to indicate that it is being used in
the wild. As no one is hitting the buggy path, we can just remove the
buggy code.

v2: Just use the fault allowing kmap() + normal copy_(to|from)_user
v3: Avoid int overflow in computing 'length' from 'remain' (Tvrtko)

README

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.
