Subject: [RFC v2 7/9] drm/xe/vm: Prevent binding of purged buffer objects
Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 11:20:17 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251201055309.854074-8-arvind.yadav@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251201055309.854074-1-arvind.yadav@intel.com>
Add validation in xe_vm_bind_ioctl_validate_bo() to reject MAP and
PREFETCH operations on purged buffer objects with -EINVAL.
Problem:
When a BO is purged (XE_MADV_PURGEABLE_PURGED state), its backing pages
have been freed by the kernel. Without this check, VM_BIND operations
would proceed:
1. DRM_XE_VM_BIND_OP_MAP: Attempts to create GPU mappings to freed memory
- xe_vma_ops_alloc() creates VMA pointing to invalid BO
- Page tables populated with stale/invalid addresses
- GPU access leads to undefined behavior or hangs
2. DRM_XE_VM_BIND_OP_PREFETCH: Attempts to migrate non-existent pages
- Triggers BO validation in TTM
- ttm_bo_validate() fails or crashes (no backing store)
- Wasted work for permanently invalid BO
With this check:
- MAP/PREFETCH immediately fail with -EINVAL at ioctl boundary
- Clear error message at syscall (better UX than deferred GPU hang)
- Prevents creation of invalid GPU page table entries
v2:
- Clarify that purged BOs are permanently invalid (i915 semantics)
- Remove incorrect claim about madvise(WILLNEED) restoring purged BOs
