Random observation while trying to review Christian's patch series to
stop looking at struct page for dma-buf imports.

       drm/ttm: Correctly set page mapping and -index members

       Needed for some vm operations; most notably unmap_mapping_range() with
       even_cows = 0.

       Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>
       Reviewed-by: Brian Paul <brianp@xxxxxxxxxx>

but we do not have a single caller of unmap_mapping_range with
even_cows == 0. And all the gem drivers don't do this, so another
small thing we could standardize between drm and ttm drivers.

Plus I don't really see a need for unamp_mapping_range where we don't
want to indiscriminately shoot down all ptes.
NAK, we use this to determine if a pages belongs to the driver or not in
amdgpu for example.

Mostly used for debugging, but I would really like to keep that.
Can you pls point me at that code? A quick grep hasn't really found much at all.
See amdgpu_iomem_read() for an example:
Why do you reject this?

When IOMMU is disabled or uses an 1 to 1 mapping we would otherwise give the same access as /dev/mem to system memory and that is forbidden. But as I noted this is just for the debugfs file.

When I tried a few years ago to not set the page->mapping I immediately ran into issues with our eviction test. So I think that this is used elsewhere as well.

Regards,
Christian.


If this is to avoid issues with userptr, then I think there's a simple
trick:
- grab page reference
- recheck that the iova still points at the same address
- do read/write, safe in the knowledge that this page cannot be reused for
   anything else
- drop page reference

Of course this can still race against iova updates, but that seems to be a
fundamental part of your debug interface here.

Or am I missing something?

Just pondering this more since setting the page->mapping pointer for just
this seems somewhat wild abuse of ->mapping semantics :-)
