This behavior of checking for a shmem backed GEM object was introduced here: commit 4c914c0c7c787b8f730128a8cdcca9c50b0784ab Author: Brad Volkin <bradley.d.volkin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Feb 18 10:15:45 2014 -0800 drm/i915: Refactor shmem pread setup It is possible for an object to not be a shmem backed GEM object (for example userptr objects). An example of how we hit this failure can be found through copy_batch() in the command parser because we allocate a userptr object for the batch which contains privileged instructions. Userptr calls drm_gem_private_object_init() which explicitly sets the filp to none. NOTE: I manually retyped this from a test machine. So I haven't even compiled this exact patch. v2: Use same logic as from a2a4f916c2f (Kristian, Dave Gordon) Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Kristian Høgsberg <krh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dave Gordon <david.s.gordon@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ben Widawsky <benjamin.widawsky@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Jordan Justen <jordan.l.justen@xxxxxxxxx> (v1) Reviewed-by: Jordan Justen <jordan.l.justen@xxxxxxxxx> (v1) --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c index e9b19bc..7fd79b0 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c @@ -489,7 +489,7 @@ int i915_gem_obj_prepare_shmem_read(struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj, *needs_clflush = 0; - if (!obj->base.filp) + if (WARN_ON((obj->ops->flags & I915_GEM_OBJECT_HAS_STRUCT_PAGE) == 0)) return -EINVAL; if (!(obj->base.read_domains & I915_GEM_DOMAIN_CPU)) { -- 2.7.0 _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
