Workaround for partial huge page unmaps in Panthor

From: Adrián Larumbe
Date: Wed Dec 17 2025 - 16:33:27 EST


This is v4 of [1]. This patch is a workaround for performing partial unmaps of a VM region backed
by huge pages. Since these are now disallowed, the patch makes sure unmaps are done on a backing
page-granularity, and then regions untouched by the VM_BIND unmap operation are restored.

A patch series with IGT tests to validate this functionality is found at [2].

Changelog:
v5:
- Addressed minor formating nit.
- Passedd right range value to panthor_vm_lock_region() rather than end address.
- Added R-b tag.

v4:
- Added VM lock for expanded unmap region.
- No longer pass the original VMA when calculating expanded unmap address and ranges for
calculating BO offsets, as this can be obtained from the map va op's
- Added more comments and renamed the unmap boundary calculation function
- Calculate prev and next map offsets, sizes and addresses in the block prelude for
the sake of clarity.
- Addressed some minor style nits.
- Rebased the patch onto the latest drm-misc.

v3:
- Reworked address logic so that prev and next gpuava_op's va's are used in the calculations
instead of those of the original unmap vma.
- Got rid of the return struct from get_map_unmap_intervals() and now reckon panthor_vm_map_pages()
arguments by fiddlign with the gpuva's respective gem object offsets.
- Use folio_size() instead of folio_order() because the latter implies page sizes from the
CPU's MMU perspective, rather than that of the GPU.

v2:
- Fixed bug caused by confusion between semantics of gpu_va prev and next ops boundaries
and those of the original vma object.
- Coalesce all unmap operations into a single one.
- Refactored and simplified code.
