I don't know if you still remember this thread, let me give a quick summary:<o:p></o:p> <ol start="1" type="1"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"> We want to implement the dGPU prime feature in guest VM. But we encountered this issue: virtio-gpu doesn’t have ->get_sg_table implemented which is required by drm_gem_map_attach(). This is modified by: 207395da5a97 (“drm/prime: reject DMA-BUF attach when get_sg_table is missing”).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"> To fix this, I override the function virtgpu_gem_device_attach() to not call drm_gem_map_attach() for vram object so drm_gem_map_attach() will not return -ENOSYS for not having ->get_sg_table.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"> Then you think this is incorrect and drm_gem_map_attach() requires get_sg_table to be implemented is intentional.

Thanks!<o:p></o:p></pre> </blockquote> One reason is that using sg tables without struct pages is actually a hack we came up with because we couldn't hope to clean up the sg table structure any time soon to not include struct page pointers. Another reason is that using this with devices which don't expect a DMA address pointing into a virtual PCI BAR. So doing this without checking the peer2peer flag can most likely cause quite a bit of trouble.
