It seems to me to be very similar to an importer not accepting P2P, that already creates a placement restriction that the exporter cannot use VRAM. I don't know how well we handle that, but mapping type is a generalization of that same idea. If the environment is complicated and asymmetric there absolutely are going to be placement restrictions where the GPU driver gets to put the object. You cannot put an object in CPU memory if you have ualink only importers, for example. The best we can do is provide up to date information to the exporter so if it chooses it can make informed placement decisions. This is why I tend to prefer we keep the attachment and somehow update the maping types to reflect any limitations from the importer HW. At least in the AI server world the migrations are rare/non-existent so we do need to keep in mind slightly different usage models for this API than a X11 desktop. Jason
