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.
Ah, there's a config option for that. Plus it's debugfs, anything goes in
debugfs, but if you're worried about that hole we should just disable the
entire debugfs file for CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM. I can perhaps throw that on
top, that follow_pfn patch series I'm baking is all about this kind of
fun.
And exactly that would get a NAK from us.

We have specially created that debugfs file as an alternative when
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.
Uh that doesn't work if you work around core restrictions with your
own debugfs paths.

That's why we have the restriction to check the mapping of the pages.

This way we only expose the memory which was allocated by our driver and don't allow any uncontrolled access to the whole system memory.

We have something similar for radeon as well, but there we have a global GART table which we can use for validating stuff.

  Maybe you can do fun like this in your dkms, but
not in upstream. Like if this was specifically created to work around
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM (and it sounds like that) then I think this
should never have landed in upstream to begin with.
I'm also kinda confused that there's distros with CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
which allow debugfs. debugfs is a pretty bad root hole all around, or
at least that's been the assumption all the time.

Yeah, completely agree :) But that's not my problem.

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.
That's the kind of interaction I'm worried about here tbh. If this does
some kind of shrinking of some sorts, I think a real shrinker should take
over.

An improved grep shows nothing else, so the only the above is the only
thing I can think of. What kind of eviction test goes boom if you clear
->mapping here? I'd be happy to type up the clever trick for the debugfs
files.

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 :-)

                   if (p->mapping != adev->mman.bdev.dev_mapping)
                           return -EPERM;
