There is definitely interest here in extending ARM to support the 1G
size too, what is missing?

Currently PUD pfnmap relies on THP_PUD config option:

config ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP
	def_bool y
	depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP && HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD

Arm64 unfortunately doesn't yet support dax 1G, so not applicable yet.

Ideally, pfnmap is too simple comparing to real THPs and it shouldn't
require to depend on THP at all, but we'll need things like below to land
first:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240717220219.3743374-1-peterx@xxxxxxxxxx

I sent that first a while ago, but I didn't collect enough inputs, and I
decided to unblock this series from that, so x86_64 shouldn't be affected,
and arm64 will at least start to have 2M.


The other trick is how to allow gup-fast working for such huge mappings
even if there's no direct sign of knowing whether it's a normal page or
MMIO mapping.  This series chose to keep the pte_special solution, so that
it reuses similar idea on setting a special bit to pfnmap PMDs/PUDs so that
gup-fast will be able to identify them and fail properly.

Make sense

More architectures / More page sizes
------------------------------------

Currently only x86_64 (2M+1G) and arm64 (2M) are supported.

For example, if arm64 can start to support THP_PUD one day, the huge pfnmap
on 1G will be automatically enabled.

A draft patch to enable THP_PUD on arm64, only passed with DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE, we may test pud pfnmaps on arm64.

Oh that sounds like a bigger step..

Just to mention, no real THP 1G needed here for pfnmaps.  The real gap here
is only about the pud helpers that only exists so far with CONFIG_THP_PUD
in huge_memory.c.

VFIO is so far the only consumer for the huge pfnmaps after this series
applied.  Besides above remap_pfn_range() generic optimization, device
driver can also try to optimize its mmap() on a better VA alignment for
either PMD/PUD sizes.  This may, iiuc, normally require userspace changes,
as the driver doesn't normally decide the VA to map a bar.  But I don't
think I know all the drivers to know the full picture.

How does alignment work? In most caes I'm aware of the userspace does
not use MAP_FIXED so the expectation would be for the kernel to
automatically select a high alignment. I suppose your cases are
working because qemu uses MAP_FIXED and naturally aligns the BAR
addresses?

- x86_64 + AMD GPU
   - Needs Alex's modified QEMU to guarantee proper VA alignment to make
     sure all pages to be mapped with PUDs

Oh :(

So I suppose this answers above. :) Yes, alignment needed.
