Well, that's imo a bug with the other driver. If it doesn't export something really simple (e.g. contiguous memory which doesn't require any mmio resources at all) it should have a cache of exported dma_buf fds so that it hands out the same dma_buf every time. Or it needs to be more clever in it's dma_buf_attachment_map functions and lookup up a pre-existing iommu mapping.

Like I've said above, just fix this in the exporter. If an importer sees two different dma_bufs it can very well presume that it those two indeed point to different backing storage. This will be even more important if we attach fences two dma_bufs. If your broken exporter creates multiple dma_bufs each one of them will have their own fences attached, leading to a complete disasters. Ok, strictly speaking if you keep the same reservation pointer for each dma_buf it'll work, but that's just a detail of how you solve this in the exporter.
