Hi Huan,
The current udmabuf mmap uses a page fault to populate the vma.
However, the current udmabuf has already obtained and pinned the folio
upon completion of the creation.This means that the physical memory has
already been acquired, rather than being accessed dynamically. The
current page fault method only saves some page table memory.
As a result, the page fault has lost its purpose as a demanding
page. Due to the fact that page fault requires trapping into kernel mode
and filling in when accessing the corresponding virtual address in mmap,
when creating a large size udmabuf, this represents a considerable
overhead.
The current patch removes the page fault method of mmap and
instead fills pfn directly when mmap is triggered.

So, what I was suggesting earlier is that it would be OK to populate the whole
vma after first fault because userspace can simply call mmap() but choose not
to use the returned pointer for various reasons. This is what Qemu's virtio-gpu
module does and in this case we'd be unnecessarily populating the vma.
I may get your point. Fill pgtable when access is better than fill when
invoke mmap?
This is reasonable. And I'll try to test it too.
IMO, there won't be much of a difference in performance.
Therefore, my request to you is to try to benchmark your userspace to see if
there is a significant difference in performance when you populate the vma
during mmap() vs doing it after first fault (which means moving the for loop
to udmabuf_vm_fault()).

Looks like ret's type needs to be vm_fault_t.
if ((vma->vm_flags & (VM_SHARED | VM_MAYSHARE)) == 0)
return -EINVAL;
- vma->vm_ops = &udmabuf_vm_ops;
- vma->vm_private_data = ubuf;
vm_flags_set(vma, VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND |
VM_DONTDUMP);

+ for (pgoff = vma->vm_pgoff, end = vma->vm_end, addr = vma-
I think initializing these variables above at the declaration time looks better
than initializing them in the for loop, IMO.
Yes, even though initializing in the loop declaration can better
indicate which variables the loop needs,
here it makes the loop declaration too long.
I'll change it in next version.
Thanks.
Thanks,
Vivek
