I feel like we're talking past each other here, at least to some extend.
However, I can't yet see where exactly the misunderstanding resides.

What do you mean with "cleanup the VM_BO structue" exactly?

The VM_BO structure keeps track of all the mappings mapped in the VM_BO's VM
being backed by the VM_BO's GEM object. And the GEM objects keeps a list of
the corresponding VM_BOs.

Hence, as long as there are mappings that this VM_BO keeps track of, this VM_BO
should stay alive.

And the VM does that through its tree of mappings (struct drm_gpuva). Hence, if
the VM would just remove those structures on cleanup by itself, you'd loose the
ability of cleaning up the page tables. Unless, you track this separately, which
would make the whole tracking of GPUVM itself kinda pointless.

Similar to what? What exactly do you think can be generalized here?

An individual mapping represented by struct drm_gpuva.

REFCOUNT_MAX is specified as 0x7fff_ffff. I agree there can be a lot of
mappings, but (including the VM_BO references) more than 2.147.483.647 per VM?
