On any architecture which has CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL vm_insert_mixed boils down to vm_insert_pfn wrt gup. And special pte stops gup fast path. But if you don't have VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP set, then I'm not seeing how you're stopping gup slow path. See check_vma_flags() in mm/gup.c. Also if you don't have CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL then I don't think vm_insert_mixed even works on iomem pfns. There's the devmap exception, but we're not devmap. Worse ttm abuses some accidental codepath to smuggle in hugepte support by intentionally not being devmap. So I'm really not sure this works as we think it should. Maybe good to do a quick test program on amdgpu with a buffer in system memory only and try to do direct io into it. If it works, you have a problem, and a bad one. -Daniel > > Regards, > Christian. > > > Christian, do we need to patch this up, and maybe fix up ttm fault > > handler to use io_mapping so the vm_insert_pfn stuff is fast? > > -Daniel > -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch
