Thanks, will post a v2.

Nice post. Thanks for sharing.

Agree. This warrants a helper function. I count 11 instances where it will be useful.

Yes. This should be freed with msm_gem_kernel_put() which takes care of freeing vaddr.

No. aspace is allocated using gpu->funcs->create_address_space() from msm_gpu_init(). If memptrs_bo is not NULL, then 'aspace' should be valid. So we don't have any issue here.

You are confused about global aspace (which is attached to ttbr1 in gpu smmu) and private aspace (which is separate for each process and it is attached to ttbr0). Here the logic is that when private aspace creation fails, we fall back to global aspace. So this logic is correct.
