      drm/ttm: Implement vm_operations_struct.access v2

we added the vm_access hook, where we also directly call tt_swapin
for
some reason. If something is swapped-out then the ttm_tt must also
be
unpopulated, and since access_kmap should also call tt_populate, if
needed, then swapping-in will already be handled there.
Sounds like you completely misunderstand what that is good for.

This is for debugger attaching to a process and peek/poke into the
VMA
and completely unrelated to kmap.
I think what Matthew is saying is that there is a fallthrough to
TTM_PL_TT which calls

ttm_bo_vm_access_kmap

Ah, good point. Now that makes much more sense.


which calls

ttm_tt_populate().

So from my pow, unless there are other concerns, this is

In that case the patch is Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx> as well.

When this is gone we can also make ttm_tt_swapin() static since that here is the only user.

And BTW replacing the switch/case with a check for use_tt in the resource_manager is probably a good idea as well.

Christian.



If anything, calling tt_swapin directly here would likely always
fail
since the tt->pages won't yet be populated, or worse since the tt-
pages
array is never actually cleared in unpopulate this might lead to a
nasty
uaf.
That's indeed true, but we just need to unconditionally call
ttm_tt_populate() here instead.

Regards,
Christian.
