Because there is a drm_gem_shmem_purge() which uses unmap_mapping_range underneath, and that's used by panfrost. And panfrost also uses the mmap helper. Kinda wondering whether we broke some stuff here, or whether the reverse map is installed before we touch vma->vm_pgoff. panfrost folks, does panfrost purged buffer handling of mmap still work correctly? Do you have some kind of igt or similar for this?
