This series documents a dma-buf “revoke” mechanism: to allow a dma-buf
exporter to explicitly invalidate (“kill”) a shared buffer after it has
been distributed to importers, so that further CPU and device access is
prevented and importers reliably observe failure.
The change in this series is to properly document and use existing core
“revoked” state on the dma-buf object and a corresponding exporter-triggered
revoke operation.
dma-buf has quietly allowed calling move_notify on pinned dma-bufs, even
though legacy importers using dma_buf_attach() would simply ignore
these calls.
The intention was that move_notify() would tell the importer to expedite
it's unmapping process and once the importer is fully finished with DMA it
would unmap the dma-buf which finally signals that the importer is no
longer ever going to touch the memory again. Importers that touch past
their unmap() call can trigger IOMMU errors, AER and beyond, however
read-and-discard access between move_notify() and unmap is allowed.
Thus, we can define the exporter's revoke sequence for pinned dma-buf as:
dma_resv_lock(dmabuf->resv, NULL);
// Prevent new mappings from being established
priv->revoked = true;
// Tell all importers to eventually unmap
dma_buf_invalidate_mappings(dmabuf);
// Wait for any inprogress fences on the old mapping
dma_resv_wait_timeout(dmabuf->resv,
DMA_RESV_USAGE_BOOKKEEP, false,
MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT);
dma_resv_unlock(dmabuf->resv, NULL);
// Wait for all importers to complete unmap
wait_for_completion(&priv->unmapp_comp);
However, dma-buf also supports importers that don't do anything on
move_notify(), and will not unmap the buffer in bounded time.
Since such importers would cause the above sequence to hang, a new
mechanism is needed to detect incompatible importers.
Introduce dma_buf_attach_revocable() which if true indicates the above
sequence is safe to use and will complete in kernel-only bounded time for
this attachment.
Unfortunately dma_buf_attach_revocable() is going to fail for the popular
RDMA pinned importer, which means we cannot introduce it to existing
places using pinned move_notify() without potentially breaking existing
userspace flows.
Existing exporters that only trigger this flow for RAS errors should not
call dma_buf_attach_revocable() and will suffer an unbounded block on the
final completion, hoping that the userspace will notice the RAS and clean
things up. Without revoke support on the RDMA pinned importers it doesn't
seem like any other non-breaking option is currently possible.
For new exporters, like VFIO and RDMA, that have userspace triggered
revoke events, the unbouned sleep would not be acceptable. They can call
dma_buf_attach_revocable() and will not work with the RDMA pinned importer
from day 0, preventing regressions.
In the process add documentation explaining the above details.

The drm/ttm patch modifies TTM to support multiple contexts for the pipelined moves.
Then amdgpu/ttm is updated to express dependencies between jobs explicitely,
instead of relying on the ordering of execution guaranteed by the use of a single
instance.
With all of this in place, we can use multiple entities, with each having access
to the available SDMA instances.
This rework also gives the opportunity to merge the clear functions into a single
one and to optimize a bit GART usage.
Since v3 some patches have been already reviewed and merged separately:
- https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/amd-gfx/2026-January/137747.html
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/kernel/-/commit/ddf055b80a544d6f36f77be5…
This version depend on them.

2.43.0
The cma dma-buf heaps let userspace allocate buffers in CMA regions
without enforcing limits. Register a dmem region per cma heap and charge
against it when allocating a buffer in a cma heap.
For the default cma region, two heaps may be created for the same cma
range:
commit 854acbe75ff4 ("dma-buf: heaps: Give default CMA heap a fixed name")
Introduced /dev/dma_heap/default_cma_region
commit 4f5f8baf7341 ("dma-buf: heaps: cma: Create CMA heap for each CMA
reserved region")
Created a CMA heap for each CMA region, which might create a duplicate
heap to the default one, e.g:
/dev/dma_heap/default_cma_region
/dev/dma_heap/reserved
Removing the legacy heap would break user API. So handle the special
case by using one dmem between the two heaps to account charges
correctly.
Signed-off-by: Eric Chanudet <echanude(a)redhat.com>
---
In continuation with introducing cgroup for the system heap[1], this
behavior is enabled based on dma_heap.mem_accounting, disabled by
default.
dmem is chosen for CMA heaps as it allows limits to be set for each
region backing each heap. There is one caveat for the default cma range
that may accessible through two different cma heaps, which is treated as
a special case.

// Wait for any inprogress fences on the old mapping
dma_resv_wait_timeout(dmabuf->resv,
DMA_RESV_USAGE_BOOKKEEP, false,
MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT);
dma_resv_unlock(dmabuf->resv, NULL);
// Wait for all importers to complete unmap
wait_for_completion(&priv->unmapp_comp);
However, dma-buf also supports importers that don't do anything on
move_notify(), and will not unmap the buffer in bounded time.
Since such importers would cause the above sequence to hang, a new
mechanism is needed to detect incompatible importers.
Introduce dma_buf_attach_revocable() which if true indicates the above
sequence is safe to use and will complete in kernel-only bounded time for
this attachment.
Unfortunately dma_buf_attach_revocable() is going to fail for the popular
RDMA pinned importer, which means we cannot introduce it to existing
places using pinned move_notify() without potentially breaking existing
userspace flows.
Existing exporters that only trigger this flow for RAS errors should not
call dma_buf_attach_revocable() and will suffer an unbounded block on the
final completion, hoping that the userspace will notice the RAS and clean
things up. Without revoke support on the RDMA pinned importers it doesn't
seem like any other non-breaking option is currently possible.
For new exporters, like VFIO and RDMA, that have userspace triggered
revoke events, the unbouned sleep would not be acceptable. They can call
dma_buf_attach_revocable() and will not work with the RDMA pinned importer
from day 0, preventing regressions.
In the process add documentation explaining the above details.

In a typical dma-buf use case, a dmabuf exporter makes its buffer
buffer available to an importer by mapping it using DMA APIs
such as dma_map_sgtable() or dma_map_resource(). However, this
is not desirable in some cases where the exporter and importer
are directly connected via a physical or virtual link (or
interconnect) and the importer can access the buffer without
having it DMA mapped.
So, to address this scenario, this patch series adds APIs to map/
unmap dmabufs via interconnects and also provides a helper to
identify the first common interconnect between the exporter and
importer. Furthermore, this patch series also adds support for
IOV interconnect in the vfio-pci driver and Intel Xe driver.
The IOV interconnect is a virtual interconnect between an SRIOV
physical function (PF) and its virtual functions (VFs). And, for
the IOV interconnect, the addresses associated with a buffer are
shared using an xarray (instead of an sg_table) that is populated
with entries of type struct range.
The dma-buf patches in this series are based on ideas/suggestions
provided by Jason Gunthorpe, Christian Koenig and Thomas Hellström.
Changelog:
RFC -> RFCv2:
- Add documentation for the new dma-buf APIs and types (Thomas)
- Change the interconnect type from enum to unique pointer (Thomas)
- Moved the new dma-buf APIs to a separate file
- Store a copy of the interconnect matching data in the attachment
- Simplified the macros to create and match interconnects
- Use struct device instead of struct pci_dev in match data
- Replace DRM_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER with XE_INTERCONNECT_VRAM during
address encoding (Matt, Thomas)
- Drop is_devmem_external and instead rely on bo->dma_data.dma_addr
to check for imported VRAM BOs (Matt)
- Pass XE_PAGE_SIZE as the last parameter to xe_bo_addr (Matt)
- Add a check to prevent malicious VF from accessing other VF's
addresses (Thomas)
- Fallback to legacy (map_dma_buf) mapping method if mapping via
interconnect fails
Patchset overview:
Patch 1-3: Add dma-buf APIs to map/unmap and match
Patch 4: Add support for IOV interconnect in vfio-pci driver
Patch 5: Add support for IOV interconnect in Xe driver
Patch 6-8: Create and use a new dma_addr array for LMEM based
dmabuf BOs to store translated addresses (DPAs)
