Why does guard area needs the same alignment as the requested mapping? What about the fact on 32-bit builds guard is 32-bit and alignment u64?

I guess this just to round up/down guard to something, not
necessarily to that alignment.

Shall I remove it?

Don't know, initially I thought it maybe needs a comment on what's it doing and why. If it is about aligning to "something" then should it be I915_GTT_MIN_ALIGNMENT?

End is the size of relevant VA area at this point so what and why is this checking?

I think because we want to make sure the padding is at least not
bigger that the size. What is actually wrong with this.

Same as above - if there is subtle special meaning please add a comment. Otherwise, for the whole object and not just the guards, it is covered by:

+	if (size > end - 2 * guard) {

I don't follow what is the point on only checking the guards.

unsigned long into u32 - what guarantees no truncation?

we are missing here this part above:

	guard = vma->guard; /* retain guard across rebinds */
	if (flags & PIN_OFFSET_GUARD) {
		GEM_BUG_ON(overflows_type(flags & PIN_OFFSET_MASK, u32));
		guard = max_t(u32, guard, flags & PIN_OFFSET_MASK);
	}

that should make sure that we fit into 32 bits.

Hm okay. I guess the u64 alignment and that "guard = ALIGN(guard, alignment);" is what is bothering me to begin with. In other words with that there is a chance to overflow vma->guard with a small guard and large alignment.

u64 -> u32 for display_alignment looks unrelated change.

./display/intel_fb_pin.c:       vma->display_alignment = max_t(u64, vma->display_alignment, alignment);
./gem/i915_gem_domain.c:        vma->display_alignment = max_t(u64, vma->display_alignment, alignment);

These two sites need to be changed not to use u64.

Do this part in a separate patch?

Right! will remove it.

Okay, to be clear, refactoring of vma->display_alignemnt to be u32 as a separate patch in the series. Thanks!
