[PATCH] drm/lima: call drm_mm_init() with a valid allocation range
From: Henrik Grimler
Date: Mon Jun 01 2026 - 08:10:05 EST
lima_vm_create() is currently run before va_start and va_end are set up,
meaning they are both 0. lima_vm_create() runs drm_mm_init() with them
as arguments for the allocator, and if DRM_DEBUG_MM is enabled the
DRM_MM_BUG_ON check in drm_mm_init then fires, as seen here on
exynos4412-odroid-u2:

Fix the issue by moving the lima_vm_create() call after va_start and
va_end are set up.

This is a low priority fix and can wait for v7.2, it does not cause
any real issues as far as I have seen: drm_mm_init() is re-run some
seconds after first run with correct parameters.
