For the import mmap case, do you really need it? Full generic dma-buf mmap
requires that you call the begin/end_cpu_access calls for flushing, so
this might not work. In practice you'll probably only ever deal with wc.
Other option would be to punch through to the dma_buf->mmap
implementation. Bit of vma shuffling should be able to take care of that,
see e.g. exynos_drm_gem_mmap. etnaviv has something similar, but going
through its own vtable.
Looking through all this (also the inverse of forwarding a dma_buf mmap to
the gem mmap code) looks all very much ripe for plenty of helpers. But I'm
not entirely sure on what we actually want here, and how much drivers want
to blindly forward everything (without also forwarding the begin/end
stuff).

So the super lofty long term goal I have is that we standardize all the
drivers on 1 way to go through the backing storage memory. Aka sgt (since
you can iterate pages with those too). I think that would allow us to
streamline a bunch of the code here, and avoid some of the impendence
mismatch between iterating over pages and iterating over sg and whatever
else there is. So the benefit would be more consistency among drivers, not
necessarily so much shared code.
Except Christoph Hellwig as dma-mapping maintainer just said in another
thread (about the peer2peer stuff Christian König is working on) that he
totally doesn't like us aiming to use sgt as the be-all-end-all of backing
storage structures for gpus.
I guess I'll just table this idea until someone else volunteers :-)

Ah, I didn't realize that we have the option to allocate more 4G address
spaces.
And agreed that 4G for gpu address space should be plenty. On intel gen7
is the first one with working ppgtt, and only 2GB of that. Only bdw/gen8+
increased it to 48b (which roughly matches the virtual space you have on
the cpu too). Still, anv happily soft-pins everything (so no virtual
evictions, only physical bo tracking like you can do here with this api).
If 2GB is fine on intel hsw with vk, I think your 4GB are totally fine for
vc5+. I was only really worried about having only 4G for everyone
together, but that's not the case.

Well "Hotplug is Broken (tm)", but using devm_kzcalloc for any of the
drm-side structures is a no-go for actually hotpluggable hw. When you
hot-unplug then the struct device can all disappear, while the struct
drm_device has an entirely different lifetime and kinda needs to persist
(until all the userspace handles and stuff are gone). There's plenty of
other gaps and pitfalls with making this all properly work, and Noralf is
slowly working them down (for tinydrm unplug for panels).
I looked a bit into whether we could use devm_* helpers tied to the
drm_device lifetime, but that didn't look really doable.
In practice "don't do that then" applies, except for the few drivers who
actually can be hot-unplugged.
Aside: Even more fun is that exported objects like dma_buf or dma_fence
also can outlive your physical device struct, and worse, can outlive
drm_device. Hotunplug atm in drm is made full of fail.
Anyway, nothing for you to do, just wanted to provide some context.

In i915 we have separate macros for the cases where we busy-loop and
expect it to be only a few usec at most. Those also have a timeout in
usecs (and obviously don't bother sleeping at all).

Oops, silly me misread the check of the return value of ->enable_signaling
as the check whether the callback is there.
We have quite a pile of trivial ->enable_signaling implementations, I
think I'm going to type a small patch series.

Hm, good idea actually for a bit of refactoring. Would remove the need for
the gem_prime_res_obj callback which only exists to because the pointer
isn't in drm_gem_object.

Hm right. Like I said, I'm just cargo-culting this.
The only downside I see is that mis-matched userspace might zero-extend
the struct. And if you initialize it explicitly instead of with memset or
= {}, then you might put garbage in there. And since the kernel doesn't
see this, you can't have a check for that. Later on you add a new field,
which then won't work because of old userspace.
But tbh I'm probably wrong on this too. Not sure ...
Anyway, all questions I had answered, so my Ack holds. I think some of the
ideas we've tossed around here for more refactoring would make great
Todo.rst entries. I'll throw them all into a patch.
