Specifically in the light of the docs at > [2]. I think when you have an iommu dma_alloc just allocates pages, and uses the iommu to make it all contiguous for the device, and vmalloc for the kernel. So it's not allocated with vmalloc(), just ends up getting mapped into the vmalloc range. -Sima > > [1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.9/source/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem_dma_helper.c#L146 > [2] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.9/source/Documentation/core-api/dma-api-howto.rst#L124 > > Best regards > Thomas > > > > > > I'm asking because if the driver allocates BOs via vmalloc(), should it really > > > use fbdev-dma? > > We use it for fbdev emulation.
