The dma-buf backend is supposed to provide its own vm_ops, but some

Let's reset vma->vm_ops to NULL to keep things working with these
implementations.

Thanks for your patch. This bug could affect a number of GEM
implementations.

The one I found that is probably hit by the same problem is
exynos_drm_gem.c, but there might be others...

Instead of fixing this individually, could we set the
fields conditionally at

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4/source/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c#L1042

?

Something like

    if (!object->import_attach) {

If guess you meant the opposite: if (object->import_attach)

No, we'd want to assign iff it's not an imported buffer.


      vma->priv =
      vma->ops =
    }

I suspect it will break other drivers relying on the fact vma->vm_ops
is auto-magically assigned to obj->funcs->vm_ops, even for prime
buffers. The one I'm looking at right now is amdgpu: it has its own way
of mapping imported dma-bufs, and resetting vma->vm_ops to NULL means
the ttm layer will fallback to the default ttm_bo_vm_ops, which is not
what amdgpu wants.

AFAICT, etnaviv is in the same situtation, though it's probably easier
to fix, given the open/close hooks for imported objects doesn't do much.

TLDR; yes, it'd be great to have this 'fix' moved at the core level, or
even have a dedicated path for dma-buf objects, but I fear it's going
to fall apart if we do that.

I see. So for the current patch, you can add

I think we should keep the general solution in mind. Maybe this can be tried later.

One option would be to add a dma_buf_vm_ops field to
drm_gem_object_funcs, add a
DRM_GEM_OBJ_FUNCS_SET_VM_OPS(vm_ops, dma_buf_vm_ops) macro that would
assign both dma_buf_vm_ops and vm_ops, patch all existing drivers
to use this macro (mechanical change where we assign both fields to the
same value, so we don't break anything, but don't fix broken
implementations either). Once this is in place, we can have the
following in drm_gem_mmap_obj():

	vma->vm_ops = object->import_attach ?
		      object->funcs->dma_buf_vm_ops :
		      object->funcs->vm_ops;
	vma->vm_private_data = vma->vm_ops ? obj : NULL;

And then we can specialize the shmem and exynos implementations
(actually, any implementation that's entirely deferring the mmap to the
dma-buf layer), so they explicitly set dma_buf_vm_ops to NULL.

Honestly, I'm not sure this is better than manually assigning
vma->vm_ops to NULL in the driver mmap function, but at least people
will have to consider it when they write their driver ('do I want
the same mmap behavior for dmabuf and !dmabuf?').

Anyway, I think this fix is worth applying, because it's self-contained
and easy to backport. We can discuss and sort out how we want to fix the
problem more generically later on.


plus a descriptive comment like the one you have in your patch.

Best regards
Thomas
