The idea for alloc/free is to let UMDs allocate a portion of the VA
space (which I call a region), basically the same thing Vulkan
represents with a VKBuffer.
It serves two purposes:
1. It gives the kernel (in particular the GPUVA manager) the bounds in
which it is allowed to merge mappings. E.g. when a user request asks for
a new mapping and we detect we could merge this mapping with an existing
one (used in another VKBuffer than the mapping request came for) the
driver is not allowed to change the page table for the existing mapping
we want to merge with (assuming that some drivers would need to do this
in order to merge), because the existing mapping could already be in use
and by re-mapping it we'd potentially cause a fault on the GPU.
2. It is used for sparse residency in a way that such an allocated VA
space region can be flagged as sparse, such that the kernel always keeps
sparse mappings around for the parts of the region that do not contain
actual memory backed mappings.
If for your driver merging is always OK, creating a single huge region
would do the trick I guess. Otherwise, we could also add an option to
the GPUVA manager (or a specific region, which could also be a single
huge one) within which it never merges.
