Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 5/5] drm/gpusvm: make the DMA mapping step in get_pages() optional
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:14:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827071449.520398-6-honghuan@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827071449.520398-1-honghuan@amd.com>
Some drivers (e.g. AMDXDNA) only need the CPU pages faulted in and tracked
by the notifier, no need DMA mapping.
Add a drm_gpusvm_ctx::no_dma_map flag. When set, get_pages() does the
shared HMM fault and records notifier_seq, but skips svm_pages->drm
validation, the dma_addr allocation and drm_gpusvm_dma_map_pages().
With no mapping state to check, the fault is redone on every call. The
default (no_dma_map == 0) is unchanged.
