This allows other drivers that may not setup the vma in the same way
to use the ttm bo helpers.

Uff can you please explain why exactly you need that?

Providing the BO is not much of a problem, but having the BO at different VMA offsets is really a no-go with TTM.

Christian.

The current i915 uapi is using different offsets for different caching :/. We're currently working around that by using ttm_bo_type_kernel (no TTM vma offset at all) and i915's offset.

Can you instead adjust the offset in the mmap callback like we do for dma-buf?
Will have to take a look.

That's really a no-go what you describe here because it will mess up reverse mapping lockup for buffer movement.

You mean the unmap_mapping_range() stuff? That's not a problem since it's a NOP for kernel ttm buffers, and the i915 move() / swap_notify() takes care of killing the ptes.

That design is a certain NAK from my side for upstreaming this.

PTE handling is the domain of TTM, drivers should never mess with that directly.

Christian.


While we're in the process of killing that offset flexibility for discrete, we can't do so for older hardware unfortunately.
