As soon as PeerDirect mapping is called then GPU must not "move" the

We haven't touch this in a long time and perhaps it changed, but there
definitely was a call back in the PeerDirect API to allow the GPU to
invalidate the mapping. That's what we don't want.
I assume that you are talking about "invalidate_peer_memory()' callback?
I was told that it is the "last resort" because HCA (and driver) is not
able to handle it in the safe manner so it is basically "abort"
everything.
