amdxdna_gem_obj_vmap() takes whatever dma_buf_vmap() returns and only

abo->mem.kva, which amdxdna_cmd_set_error() memsets and memcpys through.

amdxdna_drm_va_tbl takes a dmabuf_fd, so such a BO can be any exporter's
buffer. amdgpu cannot reach this: its .pin forces GTT for a non peer to
peer attachment like ours. An exporter on drm_gem_prime_dmabuf_ops has
no .pin, and drm_gem_ttm_vmap() answers iomem for a VRAM resident
object, so an NPU paired with nouveau or radeon does.

Refuse the mapping. vmw_gem_vmap() does the same; unlike that one this
path is reachable from an unprivileged ioctl, so it does not warn.

Mhm, why does amdxdna a vmap in the first place? For some workaround?

This is used for flushing the imported BO before. Based on our discussion before, the driver should not flush imported BO, so this becomes a invalid case.

On the other hand, vmap on a io_mem should not happen. So I suggested to move the check to amdxdna_gem_vmap() for an extra check.


Thanks,

Lizhi


Usually DMA-buf only provides that framebuffer emulation scanout inside the kernel.

On the other hand as far as I can see that here should work correctly.

Christian.

Thanks for the fix. The 'is_iomem' check should be moved to amdxdna_gem_vmap() to cover all the cases.
