When you have N GPUs there are now N BOs involved. Each GPU needs its own BO because it needs its own DMA mapping. There will be one actual GTT BO that allocates physical pages in TTM. The other BOs are dmabuf imports that DMA-map the same physical pages for access by the other GPUs.

The validate call here validates one of the dmabuf imports. This does not duplicate the validation of the underlying TTM BO with the actual physical memory allocation.

No, this series is not just preparation. It implements DMA mapping of BOs for multiple GPUs. TTM already handles DMA mapping of the memory for the device where the memory was allocated. (Yes, even GTT memory is associated with a specific GPU even though it's physically in system memory). What this patch series adds, is additional DMA mappings for the other GPUs. Without this patch, we were using the DMA mapping for GPU-1 in the page table of GPU-X, which is incorrect. It works in many cases where the DMA mapping is a direct mapping:

  * IOMMU disabled
  * IOMMU in passthrough mode

But it breaks when you have multiple GPUs with an IOMMU that's not disabled or in passthrough mode.


>  But I understand from this series' perspective, compared to usrptr (where you actually do the dma-mapping in function kfd_mem_dmamap_usrptr), for gtt memory you leveraged the amdgpu ttm function of dynamic dma-mapping. So maybe the naming here makes sense from that perspective.

Yes.

> Another thing related but not directly to this series: for GTT memory, it is dma-mapped when it is allocated. See function ttm_populate_and_map_pages calling dma_map_page. The question is, will gtt be first dma-unmapping before it is mapped in amdgpu_ttm_backend_bind? It is existing work, not from your series. Maybe there is not issue but I just want to make sure while we are looking at this area. 

Right. The problem is, that the DMA mappings only work for a specific device. Using the same DMA mapping on multiple devices is broken. The reason we got away with it for a long time is, that we were running with IOMMU disabled or in passthrough mode.
