[PATCH v1] drm/i915/gvt: Don't replace a DMA mapping that is still in use
From: Yuho Choi
Date: Sun Oct 04 2026 - 17:24:18 EST
intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page() unmaps and frees the cache entry of a
gfn when it is requested with a different size, and maps the page again.
The entry is still referenced: shadow GTT entries and dma-bufs keep
using its DMA address after the page is unpinned and the DMA mapping is
torn down. When the new mapping gets the same DMA address, their later
intel_gvt_dma_unmap_guest_page() calls also drop the references of the
new entry.
Keep the existing entry instead. A 2M mapping covers a 4K request for
its first page, so take a reference on it. If the entry is smaller than
the request, fail and let the caller split the 2M entry into 4K pages,
as it already does when a 2M mapping cannot be set up.
