One not very important comment just in passing: Does v3d->super_pages == 
!!v3d->gemfs always holds at runtime? Thinking if you really need to add 
v3d->super_pages, or could just infer from v3d->gemfs, maybe via a 
wrapper or whatever pattern is used in v3d.

Coming from the i915 background, this call looked suspicios to me. First 
of all the helper seems to be for prime import and secondly I don't know 
if v3d supports non-contigous DMA addresses even? Like can the IOMMU on 
the respective platform create such mappings? If it can not and does 
not, then the return value is just equal to object size.

Hmm no.. it cannot be mapping non-contiguous because then 
drm_prime_get_contiguous_size() could return you smaller than total 
object size and the loop below would underflow ctg_size.

So it looks it would dtrt just a bit misleading.

I also wonder if even before using THP there was no chance on this 
platform to get accidentally coalesced pages?

[Goes and looks.]

Donsn't seem so. V3d uses drm_gem_get_pages() right? And there it 
doesn't use page coalescing but just assigns them 1:1.

Maybe there is some scope to save some memory for all drivers which use 
the common helpers. See 0c40ce130e38 ("drm/i915: Trim the object sg 
table") for reference, and also code which compares the PFN as it builds 
the sg list in i915 shmem_sg_alloc_table. Although I suspect to make 
moving this approach into core drm I should really figure out a way to 
make without i915_sg_trim and allow building the sg list incrementally 
with some new scatterlist.h|c APIs.

Presumably when dma_map_sg is called on v3d platforms it also maps 1:1 
even if pages are neighbouring by chance? DMA API allows it but maybe 
platform does not?

A long digression.. to go back to original point.. Do you think you can 
just replace drm_prime_get_contiguous_size() with bo->base.size and 
everything keeps working as is, or I am missing something?

Tvrtko
