Fair point. I agree with Jason that we cannot leave this open for VFIO and we can have a pin op that always fails. But at the same time, I'd like to discuss if we should think about changing the dmabuf core, NULL op == success feels like relying on a bug I agree that it means the exporter has no mm, but I believe there should be some way for the importer to know that.. the importer can still decide to use the exported dmabuf while being aware.
