Our current FW loading process is the same for all FWs:

- Pin FW to GGTT at the start of the ggtt->uc_fw node
- Load the FW
- Unpin

This worked because we didn't have a case where 2 FWs would be loaded on the same GGTT at the same time. On MTL, however, this can happend if both
The point being that the mapping is done using a single 'dummy' vma that can't be mapped to two different places at the same time? But isn't there a separate dummy object per uc instance. So there would be one for the GuC on the render GT and another for the GuC on the media GT. So each would be mapped separately to it's own unique address and there is no conflict? Or what am I missing?

The issue is that without this patch all the dummy vmas are inserted at the same address (start of the reserved node), which only works if they can't be mapped at the same time. Note that we don't use the generic vm functions to insert the dummy vma and we instead specify the exact offset we want it mapped at. This patch makes it so that each dummy vma has its own private offset.

Got it. I think it would be worth adding some documentation about the forced mapping address and why it is necessary.

GTs are reset at the same time, so we can't pin everything in the same
spot and we need to use separate offset. For simplicity, instead of
calculating the exact required size, we reserve a 2MB slot for each fw.

Doesn't this need to be >= ?

No, this is a size check and 8MB is fine for a size.

Given that the firmware blob is loaded from the disk and therefore under user control, is a BUG_ON appropriate? Although there doesn't look to be any obvious way to abort at this point. Could the size check be moved to where we actually load the firmware rather than where it is being mapped?

My idea was that we wouldn't release a blob that violates this without updating the kernel first, so the only way a user can violate this is if they try to load a bogus file. But I can still move this check to fetch time and fail the fetch if the size is too big, so we can fall-back to something sensible.
Can't trust those pesky users. They can download a HTML page of an ASCII dump of a firmware blob and try to load that. For example. I've seen that before. So yeah, I think there definitely needs to be a 'drm_err; goto fail' rather than a BUG_ON somewhere.

Otherwise, it all seems good.

Why remove this?

The new GEM_BUG_ONs in the function above perform a more strict test, so this is redundant.
