If a destroyed VMA is in the RB tree that would be a big issue and
definitely would need to be fixed. 

Adding a test case to show the issue you describe would be good. Also if
we end doing something with merging adding a test case for the
description in the commit message would also be good.

That would be good.

I don't think Xe has a current use case, but the situation you describe
is very similar to a system allocator case where we would want merging.

Simple example below.

Initital State:
VMA[A] 0x0000-0x0fff - System allocator VMA
VMA[B] 0x1000-0x1fff - BO binding VMA
VMA[C] 0x2000-0x2fff - System allocator VMA

User op:
Bind 0x1000-0x1fff to sytem allocator

Ideally we really want this final state:
VMA[D] 0x0000-0x2fff - System allocator VMA

The without merging like above as BO bindings are bound / unbound the
system allocator space will get fragmented into lots of VMA which is not
ideal.

So here 1) from my list is a non-issue as UNMAP system allocator VMAs
don't interact with the hardware. 2) could still be an issue as VMA[A],
VMA[C] could have different caching or migration policies.

If this was added merging it likely would a be optional user controled
thing. I suggested a vfunc or something to test for merge condition, we
could just use a user defined cookie attached to VMA that GPUVM could
match on for merging (also could be used as enable merging if cookie is
non-zero). That actually seems pretty clean.
