If GUP-ineligible pages are passed to a GEM userptr object, -EFAULT is
returned only when the object is actually bound.
The xf86-video-intel userspace driver cannot differentiate this
condition, and marks the GPU as wedged. This not only disables graphics
acceleration but may also cripple other functions such as VT switch.
Solve this by "prefaulting" user pages on GEM object creation, testing
whether all pages are eligible for get_user_pages() in the process.
On failure, return -EFAULT so that userspace can fallback to software
blitting.
This behavior can be enabled via a new modparam "gem_userptr_prefault",
which is false by default.
Known use cases:
- As a debugging aid, invalid pointers and/or wrong pages passed to
userptr could be caught much earlier.
- Qubes OS R4.0 uses VM_PFNMAP pages from drivers/xen/privcmd.c, in
order to map framebuffers from Xen guest to dom0. These pages are not
GUP-able, but they cannot be exposed via DMA-BUF either. Previously
this issue had gone somehow undetected, until some patch between
v4.14 and v4.19 triggered it.
