oh, tegra isn't using shmem helpers?  I assumed it was.  Well my point
was to make a more targeted fail on tegra, and a WARN_ON for everyone
else to make it clear that what they are doing is undefined behavior.
Because so far existing userspace (or well, panfrost and freedreno at
least, those are the two I know or checked) don't make special cases
for mmap'ing against the dmabuf fd against the dmabuf fd instead of
the drm device fd.

I *think* it should work out that we don't hit this path with
freedreno but on android I can't really guarantee or prove it.  So
your patch would potentially break existing working userspace.  Maybe
it is userspace that isn't portable (but OTOH it isn't like you are
going to be using freedreno on tegra).  So why don't you go for a more
targeted fix that only returns an error on hw where this is
problematic?
