This is kinda what I mean with "shouldn't we pin the attachment" - afaiui
this can fail is someone already pinned the buffer into vram. And that
kind of checking is supposed to happen in the buffer attachment.

Why is that supposed to happen on the attachment? I mean it could be nice to have for debugging, but I still don't see any practical reason for this.

Also will p2p pin into VRAM if all attachments are p2p capable? Or is your
plan to require dynamic invalidate to avoid fragmenting vram badly with
pinned stuff you can't move?

My plan was to make dynamic invalidation a must have for P2P, exactly for the reason you noted.

Not following here at all. If the BO can't be in GTT I'd guess you should
reject the attach outright, since the pinning/map later on will fail I
guess? At least I'm not making the connection with why dynamic dma-buf
won't work anymore, since dynamic dma-buf is to make p2p of bo in vram
work better, which is exactly what this here seems to check for.

Or is this just a quick check until you add full p2p support?

Count me confused ...

Well completely amdgpu internal handling here. Key point is we have both preferred_domains as well as allowed_domains.

During command submission we always try to move a BO to the preferred_domains again.

Now what could happen if we don't have this check is the following:

1. BO is allocate in VRAM. And preferred_domains says only VRAM please, but allowed_domains says VRAM or GTT.

2. DMA-buf Importer comes along and moves the BO to GTT, which is perfectly valid because of the allowed_domains.

3. Command submission is made and moves the BO to VRAM again.

4. Importer comes along and moves the BO to GTT.
....

E.g. a nice ping/pong situation which just eats up memory bandwidth.

Christian.
