This is the right thing to do. But the really right thing is to just kill the hmm_mirror API entirely and move to mmu_notifiers. At least for noveau this already is way simpler, although right now it defeats Jasons patch to avoid allocating the struct hmm in the fault path. But as said before that can be avoided by just killing struct hmm, which for many reasons is the right thing to do anyway. I've got a series here, which is a bit broken (epecially the last patch can't work as-is), but should explain where I'm trying to head: http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git/shortlog/refs/heads/hmm-mirror-simplification _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
