[PATCH v8 0/4] virtio-gpu: Add userptr support for compute workloads

[Honglei Huang <honghuan@amd.com>]

Hello,

This series adds virtio-gpu userptr support for ROCm native compute
contexts. The guest kernel pins an existing userspace mapping with
FOLL_LONGTERM and exposes it to the host as ordinary CREATE_BLOB
backing entries, avoiding a second shmem allocation and memcpy.

A non-zero userptr field selects that path. Probe
VIRTGPU_PARAM_USERPTR before using the field so an older guest kernel
rejects the request instead of silently creating a shmem blob.

GPU-readonly backing is requested with the virtio CREATE_BLOB wire
flag VIRTIO_GPU_BLOB_FLAG_USE_READONLY (also
VIRTGPU_BLOB_FLAG_USE_READONLY). The device MUST NOT write such a
resource. The guest pins those pages without FOLL_WRITE.

Patches overview:
1. Add VIRTIO_GPU_CAPSET_ROCM capability for compute workloads
2. Extend DRM/virtio UAPI with userptr, PARAM_USERPTR, and
   USE_READONLY
3. Implement core userptr functionality with page management
4. Wire blob ioctl creation to userptr objects

Tests:
- Full OPENCL CTS tests passed on ROCm 5.7.0 in V2000 platform.
- Near 70% percentage of OPENCL CTS tests passed on ROCm 7.0 W7900 platform.
- most HIP catch tests passed on ROCm 7.0 W7900 platform.
- Some AI applications enabled on ROCm 7.0 W7900 platform.
- latest ROCm 7.14 and ROCm 10 testing is ongoing.

V8 changes:
- Drop guest-only USERPTR ioctl flags; a non-zero userptr field
  selects the path
- Add VIRTGPU_PARAM_USERPTR so older kernels do not silently
  ignore the new field
- Request GPU-readonly backing with virtio wire flag USE_READONLY;
  guest pins without FOLL_WRITE
- Drop the CREATE_BLOB blob_flags mask of retired guest-only bits

V7 changes:
- Mask guest-only DRM flags out of CREATE_BLOB wire blob_flags
- Clear userptr->pages after pin failure to avoid double-free
- DMA-map userptr SG only when virtio_gpu_use_dma_api() is required
- Use DMA_TO_DEVICE for readonly blobs
- Sync userptr SG for the device on TRANSFER_TO_HOST
- Mark writable pages dirty when unpinning
- Reject USERPTR unless blob_mem is VIRTGPU_BLOB_MEM_GUEST
- Disallow PRIME export of userptr objects
- Note that CAPSET_ROCM uses ID 8 because ID 7 is taken by VIRCL

V6 changes:
- Rebase onto drm-misc-next
- Keep USE_USERPTR / USERPTR_RDONLY as guest-only DRM flags; drop the
  virtio wire-header patch (5 patches down to 4)
- Fix userptr lifetime, DMA mapping, memlock accounting, alignment
  checks, and PRIME SG export
- Updated corresponding cover letter and commit messages

V5 changes:
    - Add VIRTIO_GPU_BLOB_FLAG_USERPTR_RDONLY definition to patch 2
    - Dropped unused VIRTIO_GPU_F_RESOURCE_USERPTR feature bit in patch 2
    - Included VIRTIO_GPU_BLOB_FLAG_USERPTR_RDONLY in VIRTGPU_BLOB_FLAG_USE_MASK in patch 5
    - Add check for userptr feature in patch 5 before creating userptr blob resource
    - Updated corresponding cover letter and commit messages

V4 changes:
    - Renamed VIRTIO_GPU_CAPSET_HSAKMT to VIRTIO_GPU_CAPSET_ROCM
    - Remove userptr feature probing cause it can reuse the guest
      blob resource code path, reduce patch count from 6 to 5
    - Updated corresponding commit messages
    - Consolidated userptr feature detection in final patch
    - Update corresponding cover letter content

V3 changes:
    - Split into focused patches for easier review
    - Removed complex interval tree userptr management
    - Simplified resource creation without deduplication
    - Added VIRTGPU_PARAM_RESOURCE_USERPTR for feature detection
    - Improved UAPI documentation and error handling
    - Enhanced code quality with proper cleanup paths
    - Removed MMU notifier dependencies for simplicity
    - Fixed resource lifecycle management issues

V2: - Split add HSAKMT context and blob userptr resource to two patches.
    - Remove MMU notifier related patches, cause use not moveable user space
      memory with MMU notifier is not a good idea.
    - Remove HSAKMT context check when create context, let all the context
      support the userptr feature.
    - Remove MMU notifier related content in cover letter.
    - Add more comments  for patch 6 in cover letter.
