[PATCH] drm/panthor: Fix handling of NO_MMAP BOs

From: Akash Goel

Date: Tue Sep 22 2026 - 06:11:52 EST


The BOs created with DRM_PANTHOR_BO_NO_MMAP flag are not supposed to be
mmappable by the Userspace. But after the rework to support shrinker,
it became possible to mmap NO_MMAP BOs. Userspace could second guess
the file offset range, allocated unconditionally at the BO creation
time, and create a CPU mapping. There may not be any adverse effect of
such a CPU mapping though.
This commit removes the unconditional allocation of file offset range
when a user/kernel BO is created. For user BOs, allocation of file
offset range would be done from BO_MMAP_OFFSET ioctl handler which has
a check for NO_MMAP flag. For kernel BOs, there is no need to allocate
file offset range.
