Until now ttm stored a single pipelined eviction fence which means drivers had to use a single entity for these evictions. To lift this requirement, this commit allows up to 8 entities to be used. Ideally a dma_resv object would have been used as a container of the eviction fences, but the locking rules makes it complex. dma_resv all have the same ww_class, which means "Attempting to lock more mutexes after ww_acquire_done." is an error. One alternative considered was to introduced a 2nd ww_class for specific resv to hold a single "transient" lock (= the resv lock would only be held for a short period, without taking any other locks). The other option, is to statically reserve a fence array, and extend the existing code to deal with N fences, instead of 1. The driver is still responsible to reserve the correct number of fence slots.

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 reStructuredText 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.
