[PATCH 1/2] drm/panthor: Extend VM locked region for remap case to be a superset

From: Adrián Larumbe

Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 13:25:01 EST


In the event of an sm_step_remap() that leads to a partial unmap of a
transparent huge page, the new locked region required by an extended unmap
might not be a superset of the original one. Then, if it leaves a portion
of the initially requested one out, the ensuing map will trigger a warning.
