VirtIO-GPU now supports importing external dmabufs, we should reject
bo->base.base.import_attach here now too.

I've now noticed that drm_gem_shmem_vmap() expects BO reservation lock
to be held and we can't take lock it at a panic time.

This resv warning isn't triggered because bo->base.vaddr is set for VT
framebufffer BO when panic happens.

I usually test using gnome desktop in the VM, and in this case vaddr is not set, and calling vmap() is needed. (and I don't get the warning, I will check why).

We actually should reject all BOs that don't have bo->base.vaddr set at
the panic time. Please correct it in v6 and rebase on top of a recent
drm-next tree.

The lock is there to prevent race conditions between concurrent tasks. In the panic handler, no other tasks can run in parallel. Also the buffer object is the one currently displayed, so it can't be in the middle of a free/resize or move operation. So I think it's safe to call vmap() from the panic handler.


Think ideally we need to have a pre-allocated and pre-mapped BO. Then
when panic happens, use that BO and tell host to display it, i.e. not to
reuse currently displayed BO. This will make panic display work in all
conditions. WDYT?


This means a full framebuffer will be allocated only for the panic use case. For GPU with a small amount of VRAM, it's not possible. But virtio-gpu is a bit special as it uses system RAM, so it might be less problematic to do that.

An alternate solution would be to make sure the framebuffer is vmapped (at least if it's shmem) so the panic handler won't need to call vmap().

Best regards,
