I agree never touching the device has advantages, but it's harder to test certain things if we _never_ do MMIO. The mitigation effort to get coverage may not be the right tradeoff vs easier running. I can think of some "easy" VFIO bugs that would be challenging to properly verify in userspace (e.g. PFNs all having some undesired offset). The current test method is harder to fool per unit effort in writing it. Though, I will have a think about this no-touch flavour of test. What were you picturing regarding populating the VMA PTEs in order to inspect the result via /proc/pid/pagemap, whilst still upholding the principle of not touching the device? For example, madvise(MADV_POPULATE_WRITE) won't work on the VFIO BAR regions because they're VM_PFNMAP/VM_IO. > With that requirement gone, then all you really need is a device with a > large enough BAR.

Yep, looks like `-device pci-testdev,membar=64M,membar-backed=on` or even `-device bochs-display,vgamem=64M` would be suitable. So I'll also try moving the existing test over to one of these to at least remove the EDU++ device dependency. (bochs-display has >1 BAR, and some MMIO regs which are nice for a quick kick-the-tyres access test.) Cheers, Matt

A Beginner’s Guide to Enjoying Fnaf: Why This Horror Game Still Feels So Tense

by acute.hummingbird.ljmk＠hidepost.net

https://fivenightsatfreddysgame.io/ Introduction Horror games come in many forms. Some rely on monsters chasing you through dark hallways, while others create fear by making you feel trapped and helpless. One of the most famous examples of the second approach is Fnaf, short for Five Nights at Freddy’s. What makes the game interesting is that you don’t spend most of your time running around. Instead, you sit in a small security office, watching cameras and trying to survive until morning. The idea sounds simple at first, but the tension builds surprisingly fast. Every sound becomes suspicious, every camera check feels important, and every mistake can end the night immediately. For players who are new to horror games, Fnaf is a great example of how atmosphere and anticipation can be more frightening than constant action. Gameplay: What You Actually Do The basic setup is easy to understand. You play as a night security guard working at a family entertainment restaurant filled with animatronic characters. During the day they entertain guests, but at night they begin moving around the building. Your goal is straightforward: survive from midnight until 6 AM. To do that, you have a few tools: • Security cameras • Door controls • Hallway lights • Limited electrical power Most of the gameplay revolves around monitoring the cameras to track where the animatronics are located. If one gets too close to your office, you may need to close a door or check a hallway light. The problem is that every action consumes power, and once the power runs out, your defenses become much weaker. This creates the game’s main challenge: balancing information and resources. Check the cameras too often and you waste power. Ignore them for too long and an animatronic may reach your office without warning. That constant trade-off is what keeps the game tense even after you understand the rules. Why Fnaf Feels Different From Other Horror Games Many horror games focus on exploration, puzzles, or combat. Fnaf takes a much more restricted approach. You’re mostly sitting in one room. Surprisingly, that limitation makes the experience more intense. Because you can’t freely escape danger, you’re forced to pay attention to small details: • Footsteps • Mechanical noises • Camera movement • Sudden silence • Flickering lights The fear comes from anticipation rather than action. You know something is moving toward you, but you’re never completely sure when it will arrive. Another reason the game became so popular is its memorable characters. The animatronics are designed to look friendly on the surface, yet they become unsettling the longer you watch them. That contrast between a cheerful restaurant and a threatening nighttime atmosphere creates a unique style of horror. Tips for New Players If you’re trying Fnaf for the first time, the early nights can feel overwhelming. Here are a few simple tips that helped many players, including me, enjoy the game more. 1. Stay Calm The game is designed to make you panic. When something suddenly appears near your office, it’s easy to start clicking buttons randomly. Taking a breath and reacting carefully usually works better. 2. Learn the Camera Layout Spend a little time memorizing where the important rooms are located. Knowing which cameras connect to your office helps you react faster when animatronics begin moving. 3. Don’t Overuse the Doors A common beginner mistake is keeping the doors closed all the time. This drains power quickly. Use them only when an animatronic is actually nearby. 4. Listen Carefully Sound is extremely important. Headphones can make a big difference because audio cues often tell you more than the cameras do. 5. Expect a Few Jump Scares Everyone gets surprised at first. Instead of trying to avoid every jump scare, treat them as part of the learning process. After a few attempts, you’ll start recognizing the warning signs earlier. 6. Take Breaks if Needed Fnaf can be surprisingly stressful, especially during later nights. If your heart is racing after a tough attempt, there’s nothing wrong with taking a short break before trying again. The Best Way to Experience It In my opinion, Fnaf is most enjoyable when played in a quiet room with headphones and minimal distractions. The game relies heavily on atmosphere, so playing while multitasking removes much of the tension. I also recommend going into the game without watching too many strategy videos first. Discovering how the animatronics behave on your own makes the experience much more memorable. Part of the fun is slowly understanding the patterns and improving night by night. Playing with friends nearby can be entertaining too. Even people who aren’t controlling the game often react strongly to the sudden scares and close calls. Conclusion Fnaf remains one of the most recognizable horror games because it proves that a simple idea can create incredible tension. You don’t need complicated controls, huge maps, or constant combat to feel nervous. Sometimes sitting alone in a small office with limited power is enough. The game rewards observation, patience, and resource management while delivering plenty of suspense along the way. Whether you’re completely new to horror games or just looking for a classic experience, Fnaf offers a unique mix of strategy and fear that still holds up years later. If you decide to try it, don’t worry about surviving every night immediately. The fun comes from learning the patterns, reacting under pressure, and slowly becoming more confident as the nights get harder. That gradual progression is what makes the experience so memorable.

But I'm hoping we can avoid that requirement. Could you run a test where only a known part of the BAR can be treated as memory? A large BAR is likely to have some areas that can be accessed as memory.

[PATCH v5 0/9] vfio/pci: Add mmap() for DMABUFs

by Matt Evans

Hi all, The goal of this series is to enable userspace driver designs that use VFIO to export DMABUFs representing subsets of PCI device BARs, and "vend" those buffers from a primary process to other subordinate processes by fd. These processes then mmap() the buffers and their access to the device is isolated to the exported ranges. This is an improvement on sharing the VFIO device fd to subordinate processes, which would allow unfettered access. This is achieved by enabling mmap() of vfio-pci DMABUFs, passed by fd to subordinate processes. Second, a new revocation mechanism is added to allow the primary process to forcibly revoke access to previously-shared BAR spans, even if the subordinate processes haven't cleanly exited. (The related topic of safe delegation of iommufd control to the subordinate processes is not addressed here, and is follow-up work.) The background/rationale is covered in more detail in the RFC cover letters. Feedback from the RFCs requested that, instead of creating DMABUF-specific vm_ops and .fault paths, to go the whole way and migrate the existing VFIO PCI BAR mmap() to be backed by a DMABUF too, resulting in a common vm_ops and fault handler for mmap()s of both the VFIO device and explicitly-exported DMABUFs. This will help future iommufd emulation of VFIO Type1 peer-to-peer, making it easier to get a DMABUF for a VFIO BAR as a DMA target. mmap() conversion to use DMABUF underneath has been done for vfio-pci, but not sub-drivers: nvgrace-gpu's mmap() override path is unchanged; I kept this out of scope for now not least because I don't have a thorough test setup for this system. I would prefer to help the nvgrace-gpu maintainers enable BAR mmap() DMABUFs themselves. Notes on patches ================ PCI/P2PDMA: Split pool-related cleanup out of pci_p2pdma_release() PCI/P2PDMA: Add CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA_CORE Later in the series, vfio-pci's mmap() is going to depend on pcim_p2pdma_provider() which depended on CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA, which in turn depended on ZONE_DEVICE. That isn't available on 32-bit and some archs, because they lack MEMORY_HOTPLUG and friends. VFIO does _not_ require actual P2P to be present for basic mmap() functionality, only for the optional CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER feature. These split out p2pdma_core.c under CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA_CORE (which currently contains pcim_p2pdma_provider()), and an optional CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA which depends on ZONE_DEVICE etc. providing P2P functionality in the existing p2pdma.c. The first splits out pool cleanup from the release path, and the second does the refactor/code move to the new file. vfio/pci: Add a helper to look up PFNs for DMABUFs vfio/pci: Add a helper to create a DMABUF for a BAR-map VMA The first adds a DMABUF VMA fault handler helper to determine arbitrary-sized PFNs from ranges in DMABUF. The second refactors DMABUF export for use by the existing export feature, and adds a helper that creates a DMABUF corresponding to a VFIO BAR mmap() request. vfio/pci: Convert BAR mmap() to use a DMABUF The vfio-pci core mmap() creates a DMABUF with the helper above, and the vm_ops fault handler uses the other helper to resolve the fault. Because this depends on DMABUF structs/code, CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_CORE needs to depend on CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER. The CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_DMABUF still conditionally enables the export support code. NOTE: The user mmap()s a device fd, but the resulting VMA's vm_file becomes that of the DMABUF. The DMABUF takes ownership of the device file and put()s it on release, which maintains the existing behaviour of a VMA keeping the VFIO device open. BAR zapping then happens via the existing vfio_pci_dma_buf_move() path, which now needs to unmap PTEs in the DMABUF's address_space. vfio/pci: Provide a user-facing name for BAR mappings There was a request for decent debug naming in /proc/<pid>/maps etc. comparable to the existing VFIO names: since the VMAs are DMABUFs, they have a "dmabuf:" prefix and can't be 100% identical to before. This is a user-visible change, but this patch at least now gives us extra info on the BDF & BAR being mapped. vfio/pci: Clean up BAR zap and revocation In general (see NOTE!) the vfio_pci_zap_bars() is now obsolete, since it unmaps PTEs in the VFIO device address_space which is now unused. This consolidates all calls (e.g. around reset) with the neighbouring vfio_pci_dma_buf_move()s into new functions, to revoke/unrevoke (making the steps clearer). NOTE: Because drivers can use their own vm_ops and override .mmap, the core must conservatively assume an overridden .mmap might still add PTEs to the VFIO device address_space and therefore still does the zap. A new flag, zap_bars_on_revoke, enables the zap when .mmap is overridden. A driver that does not need the zap can clear this to opt-out, e.g. if the driver calls down to the common mmap (and so uses DMABUFs). hisi-acc-vfio-pci does just this, and thus sets the opt-out flag. vfio/pci: Support mmap() of a VFIO DMABUF Adds mmap() for a DMABUF fd exported from vfio-pci. It was a goal to keep the VFIO device fd lifetime behaviour unchanged with respect to the DMABUFs. An application can close all device fds, and this will revoke/clean up all DMABUFs; then, no mappings or other access can be performed. When enabling mmap() of the DMABUFs, this means access through the VMA is also revoked. This complicates the fault handler because whilst the DMABUF exists, it has no guarantee that the corresponding VFIO device is still alive. Adds synchronisation ensuring the vdev is available before vdev->memory_lock is touched; this holds the device registration so that even if the buffer has been cleaned up, vdev hasn't been freed and so the lock can be safely taken. vfio/pci: Permanently revoke a DMABUF on request This is mostly a rename of `revoked` to an enum, `status`, and adding a third state for a buffer: usable, revoked temporary, revoked permanent. A new VFIO feature is added, VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_REVOKE, which takes a DMABUF (exported from the same device) and permanently revokes it. Thus a userspace driver can guarantee any downstream consumers of a shared fd are prevented from accessing a BAR range, and that range can be reused. NOTE: This might block userspace, waiting on importers to detach. The code doing revocation in vfio_pci_dma_buf_move() is moved, to a common function for use by ..._move() and this new feature. NOTE: See changelog, by request v4 added a condition to the existing code to elide the unnecessary invalidation/sync on the un-revoke path.) NOTE: Previous versions contained an additional feature patch, "vfio/pci: Add mmap() attributes to DMABUF feature". This has been dropped in v5 because: - The mechanism simply set vma->vm_page_prot. This would be sufficient for arm64 and other architectures. - However, (locally-run claude-opus-4-8) Sashiko flagged that, on x86, additional memtype handling is required to set up the PAT. Without this, the memtype is returned back to UC- by pfnmap_setup_cachemode() upon PTE creation. Most other sources of userspace WC mappings create PTEs eagerly with e.g. io_remap_pfn_range() which memtype_reserve() WC for the range. Getting them with lazy-fault used by vfio-pci is more complicated (e.g. perhaps registering WC for BARs with PAT/MTRRs, and deciding how to deal with aliasing...). Since this feature is not critical for this series to be useful, I've decided for now to drop it in favour of a simpler series now and revisiting this separ*ately. Testing ======= (The [RFC ONLY] userspace test program, for QEMU edu-plus, can be found in the GitHub branch below. It at least illustrates how the export, map, revoke, and close semantics interoperate.) This code has been tested in mapping DMABUFs of single/multiple ranges from multiple BARs, aliasing mmap()s, aliasing ranges across DMABUFs, vm_pgoff > 0, revocation, shutdown/cleanup scenarios, and hugepage mappings. No regressions observed on the VFIO selftests, or on our internal vfio-pci applications. VFIO on i386 has been build-tested. Dear Reviewers, =============== I was grateful for the reviews and Reviewed-Bys on previous versions. Thanks; I've added some Reviewed-Bys/Acks. I have NOT included your tags where the patch has materially changed after your review (or where requested changes ended up more than super-trivial). I hope that's okay. End === This is based on v7.2-rc3. These commits are on GitHub for easier browsing, along with "[RFC ONLY] selftests: vfio: Add standalone vfio_dmabuf_mmap_test": https://github.com/metamev/linux/compare/v7.2-rc3...dev/mev/vfio-dmabuf-mma… Thanks for reading, Matt ================================================================================ Changelog: v5: - Rebased on 7.2-rc3 - Dropped the memattr/WC feature (see explanation above). - "vfio/pci: Convert BAR mmap() to use a DMABUF": Fixed a potentially-nasty bug (which (locally-run) Sashiko found!) whereby the unmap_mapping_range() performed in cleanup was passed a range up from offset zero for the DMABUF size. Initially this was how all DMABUFs were created and an appropriate zap, but a new version kept the VFIO region index encoded in the offset -- for BAR > 0 the unmap span would then mismatch. Instead, pass size 0 to mean an "all" range. Because the goal is to shoot down everything relating to one DMABUF and the address_space can only contain things relating to that DMABUF, this is equivalent and has the bonus of never failing to match mappings... Praan, Kevin, I kept your R-Bs on this fix. - The revoke patch converts vfio_pci_dma_buf_cleanup()'s priv->vdev = NULL to a WRITE_ONCE, corresponding to the revoke function's READ_ONCE (performed to test that the VFIO and DMABUF are related). - Clarified the VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_REVOKE UAPI comments, documenting previously-missing error cases and their reasons. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260701171245.90111-1-matt@ozlabs.org/ v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260610154327.37758-1-matt@ozlabs.org/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260527102319.100128-1-mattev@meta.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260416131815.2729131-1-mattev@meta.com/ RFCv2: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260312184613.3710705-1-mattev@meta.com/ RFCv1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260226202211.929005-1-mattev@meta.com/ Tech topic: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20250918214425.2677057-1-amastro@fb.com/ Matt Evans (9): PCI/P2PDMA: Split pool-related cleanup out of pci_p2pdma_release() PCI/P2PDMA: Add CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA_CORE vfio/pci: Add a helper to look up PFNs for DMABUFs vfio/pci: Add a helper to create a DMABUF for a BAR-map VMA vfio/pci: Convert BAR mmap() to use a DMABUF vfio/pci: Provide a user-facing name for BAR mappings vfio/pci: Clean up BAR zap and revocation vfio/pci: Support mmap() of a VFIO DMABUF vfio/pci: Permanently revoke a DMABUF on request MAINTAINERS | 2 +- drivers/pci/Kconfig | 5 + drivers/pci/Makefile | 1 + drivers/pci/p2pdma.c | 113 +--- drivers/pci/p2pdma.h | 29 + drivers/pci/p2pdma_core.c | 122 +++++ drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig | 5 +- drivers/vfio/pci/Makefile | 3 +- .../vfio/pci/hisilicon/hisi_acc_vfio_pci.c | 8 + drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_config.c | 30 +- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c | 210 +++++-- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_dmabuf.c | 515 +++++++++++++++--- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_priv.h | 53 +- include/linux/pci-p2pdma.h | 24 +- include/linux/pci.h | 2 +- include/linux/vfio_pci_core.h | 1 + include/uapi/linux/vfio.h | 25 + 17 files changed, 875 insertions(+), 273 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/pci/p2pdma.h create mode 100644 drivers/pci/p2pdma_core.c -- 2.50.1 (Apple Git-155)
