In order to avoid eviction of vmap'ed buffers, pin them in their GEM
object's vmap implementation. Unpin them in the vunmap implementation.
This is needed to make generic fbdev support work reliably. Without,
the buffer object could be evicted while fbdev flushed its shadow buffer.

In difference to the PRIME pin/unpin functions, the vmap code does not
modify the BOs prime_shared_count, so a vmap-pinned BO does not count as
shared.

The actual pin location is not important as the vmap call returns
information on how to access the buffer. Callers that require a
specific location should explicitly pin the BO before vmapping it.
Well is the buffer supposed to be scanned out?
No, not by the fbdev helper.

Ok in this case that should work.

If yes then the pin location is actually rather important since the
hardware can only scan out from VRAM.
For relocatable BOs, fbdev uses a shadow buffer that makes all any
relocation transparent to userspace. It flushes the shadow fb into the
BO's memory if there are updates. The code is in
drm_fb_helper_dirty_work(). [1] During the flush operation, the vmap
call now pins the BO to wherever it is. The actual location does not
matter. It's vunmap'ed immediately afterwards.

The problem is what happens when it is prepared for scanout, but can't be moved to VRAM because it is vmapped?

When the shadow is never scanned out that isn't a problem, but we need to keep that in mind.


I'd like ask for your suggestions before sending an update for this patch.

After the discussion about locking in fbdev, [1] I intended to replace the pin call with code that acquires the reservation lock.

First I wanted to put this into drm_gem_ttm_vmap/vunmap(), but then wondered why ttm_bo_vmap() doe not acquire the lock internally? I'd expect that vmap/vunmap are close together and do not overlap for the same BO. Otherwise, acquiring the reservation lock would require another ref-counting variable or per-driver code.

Best regards

For dma-buf sharing, the regular procedure of pin + vmap still apply.
This should always move the BO into GTT-managed memory.
