Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/2] dma-buf/udmabuf: skip redundant cpu sync to fix cacheline EEXIST warning
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 14:49:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721184909.383278-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)

[ Upstream commit 504e2b4ab97a51d56d966cd36d0997ad30b65b2d ]
When CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG_SG is enabled, importing a udmabuf into a DRM
driver (e.g. amdgpu for video playback in GNOME Videos / Showtime)
triggers a spurious warning:
DMA-API: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: cacheline tracking EEXIST, \
overlapping mappings aren't supported
WARNING: kernel/dma/debug.c:619 at add_dma_entry+0x473/0x5f0
The call chain is:
amdgpu_cs_ioctl
-> amdgpu_ttm_backend_bind
-> dma_buf_map_attachment
-> [udmabuf] map_udmabuf -> get_sg_table
-> dma_map_sgtable(dev, sg, direction, 0) // attrs=0
-> debug_dma_map_sg -> add_dma_entry -> EEXIST
This happens because udmabuf builds a per-page scatter-gather list via
sg_set_folio(). When begin_cpu_udmabuf() has already created an sg
table mapped for the misc device, and an importer such as amdgpu maps
the same pages for its own device via map_udmabuf(), the DMA debug
infrastructure sees two active mappings whose physical addresses share
cacheline boundaries and warns about the overlap.
The DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag suppresses this check in
add_dma_entry() because it signals that no CPU cache maintenance is
performed at map/unmap time, making the cacheline overlap harmless.
All other major dma-buf exporters already pass this flag:
- drm_gem_map_dma_buf() passes DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
- amdgpu_dma_buf_map() passes DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
The CPU sync at map/unmap time is also redundant for udmabuf:
begin_cpu_udmabuf() and end_cpu_udmabuf() already perform explicit
cache synchronization via dma_sync_sgtable_for_cpu/device() when CPU
access is requested through the dma-buf interface.
Pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC to dma_map_sgtable() and
dma_unmap_sgtable() in udmabuf to suppress the spurious warning and
skip the redundant sync.
