Or is the idea to save the struct page * pointer? That feels a bit like

then tune it if (and only if) any part of it becomes a problem for normal
usage.


Exactly - the idea is to avoid adding extra pointer to drm_gem_object,
Christian suggested to instead keep a linked list of dummy pages to be
allocated on demand once we hit a vm_fault. I will then also prefault the entire
VA range from vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start to vma->vm_end and map them
to that single dummy page.


Obviously the range is from  vma->vm_start to vma->vm_end
