[PATCH v2 18/33] drm/xe: Handle defrag moves in xe_bo_move()

From: Matthew Brost

Date: Fri Jul 10 2026 - 17:58:11 EST


Teach xe_bo_move() to service a defrag move, where TTM reallocates a
BO's backing at the device's beneficial order and hands the old, still
populated tt to the move via the BO's defrag_old_tt.

A defrag move always has existing contents to copy, so force
move_lacks_source false and fall through the XE_PL_TT -> XE_PL_TT no-op
shortcut so the copy path runs. The relocation is performed entirely on
the GPU via xe_migrate_copy_defrag(), reading the old pages from the
stashed tt's sg table and writing the freshly reallocated backing.

Both copy passes run in order on the same migrate queue and are captured
by the returned fence, so the teardown is pipelined via
ttm_bo_move_accel_cleanup(): the old tt is handed to a ghost object and
only unpopulated and freed once the fence signals, so the move need not
block. The VF CCS attach/detach handling is extended to treat a defrag
move (ctx->defrag) like the XE_PL_SYSTEM <-> XE_PL_TT transitions it
mirrors.
