[PATCH 0/2] drm/msm: fix dma-buf sharing on targets without per-process pgtables
From: Dmitry Baryshkov
Date: Sat Aug 22 2026 - 04:49:23 EST
Targets without per-process pgtables -- everything pre-a6xx, plus a6xx
parts where split pagetables are unavailable -- hand every DRM file the
GPU's global VM. The rest of the driver still treats a context VM as
private to that context, so closing a handle tears down mappings other
files are still using, and frees the iova for immediate reuse.
A dma-buf shared between two clients therefore keeps sampling an address
that the next allocation has taken over. On a530 this is every
ext_image_dma_buf_import sampling test, reading back all zeros.
A VM shared between contexts needs the lazy, refcounted teardown the
driver already implements for kms->vm. Rather than adding a second
mechanism, the first patch makes that machinery reusable and the second
one puts the shared GPU VM behind it.
