Drivers that use drm_gem_mmap() and drm_gem_mmap_obj() helpers don't

hard
lockup when userspace writes to the memory mapping of a dma-buf that
was
imported into Tegra's DRM GEM.

To fix this bug, move mapping of imported dma-bufs to
drm_gem_mmap_obj().
Now mmaping of imported dma-bufs works properly for all DRM drivers.

If we start enabling mmaping of imported dma-bufs on a majority of
drivers in this way, how do we ensure that user-space is not blindly
using the object mmap without calling the needed DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC
which is needed before and after cpu access of mmap'ed dma-bufs?

I was under the impression (admittedly without looking) that the few
drivers that actually called into dma_buf_mmap() had some private
user-mode driver code in place that ensured this happened.
Since it's a userspace who does the mapping, then it should be a
responsibility of userspace to do all the necessary syncing.
Sure, but nothing prohibits user-space to ignore the syncing thinking
"It works anyway", testing those drivers where the syncing is a NOP. And
when a driver that finally needs syncing is tested it's too late to fix
all broken user-space.

   I'm not
sure whether anyone in userspace really needs to map imported dma-bufs
in practice. Nevertheless, this use-case is broken and should be fixed
by either allowing to do the mapping or prohibiting it.

Then I'd vote for prohibiting it, at least for now. And for the future
moving forward we could perhaps revisit the dma-buf need for syncing,
requiring those drivers that actually need it to implement emulated
coherent memory which can be done not too inefficiently (vmwgfx being
one example).
Alright, I'll change it to prohibit the mapping. This indeed should be a
better option.

Oh, yes please. But I would expect that some people start screaming.

Over time I've got tons of TTM patches because people illegally tried to mmap() imported DMA-bufs in their driver.

Anyway this is probably the right thing to do and we can work on fixing the fallout later on.

Christian.
