With later patches one goes to reuse this helper instead of
drm_gem_cma_dumb_map_offset().
At the same time, the latter does not have the
drm_gem_create_mmap_offset() call we see here.

You're rigth, the cma library and a couple of other drivers if I recall
correctly, call drm_gem_create_mmap_offset() during object creation.
Daniel was of the opinion that this should happen when mmap is called.
drm_gem_create_mmap_offset() is idempotent as the docs call it. Calling
it a second time is ok, since it does nothing (needs to take a lock
though).

I haven't removed drm_gem_create_mmap_offset() from the drivers that do
it during object creation, trying to keep this from doing to much.
The cma library will be changed though when I add the generic fb/gem
helper.

I was not concerned about calling the function twice, but that it's
not called at all ...
Which doesn't seems to be the case - virtually all the .dumb_create
callbacks effectively end up in __drm_gem_cma_create() which itself
calls drm_gem_create_mmap_offset().

I should have looked deeper into the rabbit hole :-)

One thing that I forgot to mention:
Depending on the tree you're working on, please grep through staging
as well - the vbox drm driver got merged somewhat recently.

Meanwhile some drivers have their own offset function which is
virtually identical to the original drm_gem_cma_dumb_map_offset.
Yet those are left unchanged.

For example in cirrus [1]:
There the only code difference seems to be an "upcast" followed
immediately by a "downcast". Which should effectively be a noop.

The main reason for that is to try and keep this simple so I'm able to
add my shmem/gem library in reasonable time :-) I didn't want to do
changes that wasn't straight forward. But yes, the cirrus drivers looks
quite straight forward and the functions isn't used by other parts of
the driver. I looked at a driver (omap?) that had similar functions,
and those where called from other parts of the driver, so I expected
the same here I guess.

You say "some drivers", can you name them?
Some drivers takes locks or do other stuff that made me skip them.

Agreed - keeping that cleanup separate might be the wise thing to do.
Pardon if I came too impatient.

About a list - initial grep showed cirrus, bochs, qxl.
Now, after having a more extensive look - cirrus, qxl, ast, nouveau,
exynos, hibmc, mgag200, bochs, virtio.

All of those except exynos gets their offset from ttm_buffer_object->vma_node
and not drm_gem_object.vma_node. Is it the same vma_node?

I'll add exynos in the second round, I missed that one.

Thanks for the scrutiny, it's appreciated.

Noralf.

On the "maybe" list - msm and omap have extra locking (is it still
needed?) while armada has an import_attach restriction (where nobody
else seems to bother?).

The remaining drivers seem a bit more complicated.
